Rendering a swimming pool question

[BigBruvOfEnglandUK]

I can render but I don't know anything about rendering a pool. The pool is not going to be tiled. What do I need to know? What additives etc? I am in Spain so a lot of the products you get in the UK may not be available here. We have Sika, Morcem, Puma and Weber products available so if any of them have something you recommend we could use then that might be handy?
Is there a coloured render that would be good?

I rendered the one above 4 yrs ago now in sotogrande (cadiz) still good ,woman changed mind halfway through job from wanting tiled to wanting painted apparently big in the states where she was from .Has been emptied once in that time for additional coats of pool paint .im no expert on pools but lets face it all the pressure is internal

only the top of the Wall was tiled where the wáter passed over .

Sorry, m8s. I missed out some details. It's an old pool that has the little mosaic tiles. They are a proper mess and falling off so will be easy to remove. It's above ground. We have pulled down an old terrace that was built around it and are in the middle of rebuilding all of that. The original plan was to render it after the Summer so I hadn't given it much thought yet Now the customer is thinking about getting the pool rendered before the end of April.
So, a bonding agent to fix to the remnants of old tile adhesive? And then what? A scratch coat followed by a fine coat? Is the Sika 1 Waterproofer an additive to put in the render mix?

I hate tiling, m8 :RpS_angry:

Hi mate , you will need to strip the tiles of if they are a mess and loose and they are probably on a render coat then you have the pool shell , so if they tiles are loose or the render hollow / boss then hack it of back to the shell then re apple new render and tiles or pool plaster

 

[gooner59]

Oh and tanking on top of the render before tiling

Hardwall and multi:RpS_thumbup:
But don't use bonding

When i got to the pool the guys had hacked most of the tiles off with kangos in some places a Little over enthusiastic , problem being that in some places the original builders or perhaps a later repair had been done using ordinary cola . Found the bags below in pump room anyhow i got the guys to scafe back all adhesive which created pitted Surface Application of good gritty latex s&c slurry and then 2 coats of 5-1 with sika latex ,mesh between wet into wet from memory. hope that helps.

The customer was toying with the idea of mosaic tiles but has now gone right off the idea and just wants render
