Aquascape Swimming Pools designs, builds and renovates indoor swimming pools for year round use across Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds and selected areas of the South East. We handle indoor pool design, technical specification, swimming pool installation and aftercare, creating a bespoke indoor pool that suits your house, available space and the way you want to swim.
An indoor swimming pool gives reliable access to exercise and relaxation whatever the weather. Our team integrates the pool shell, filtration system, pool heating, lighting, ventilation and dehumidification into a single, well planned solution. We build in concrete, including sprayed concrete pool shells for complex shapes, and also install fibreglass pool options where a pre‑formed pool type is appropriate. Stainless steel fittings, LED lighting, automatic covers and a carefully detailed pool surround and coping stones all contribute to comfort, safety and a perfect balance of performance and appearance.
Aquascape is based in Stroud and delivers projects across the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire with coverage extending into Oxfordshire, Berkshire and nearby counties.

Every pool in the UK should be planned around how it will be used. Larger pools require more heating and more space for plant equipment, while smaller pools are often chosen for focused fitness or hydrotherapy. In most cases the overall cost and running costs reduce when the design is efficient and simple to maintain.
When shaping the brief, consider:
A sprayed concrete pool allows any shape and can be tiled to suit the property. A fibreglass pool is quicker to install and can be a cost effective choice where a standard size works well. We will explain the trade‑offs so you can choose the pool type that fits your priorities.
Indoor swimming pools typically cost between £85,000 and £220,000+, with indoor pools averaging around £152,500 to construct in the UK. A concrete pool can range from £70,000 to £200,000+, and a typical 10m x 5m fibreglass pool costs roughly £55,000 to £80,000. As a rough guide, excavation often falls between £5,000 and £15,000, while heating systems can add £2,000 to £10,000. The actual costs for any new pool depend on several factors:
We provide an estimated cost range early, then refine prices once drawings and specifications are agreed. Clients sometimes compare multiple quotes to benchmark the overall cost, and we are happy to clarify where differences come from so money is spent where it matters. For a deeper breakdown, read our guide to building a swimming pool in the UK.
An indoor pool supports daily use and stable water quality. An outdoor swimming pool can be ideal for summer, while an outdoor pool with a good cover extends the season. A ground swimming pool built outside typically costs less than an indoor build, and an above ground swimming pool is often the most affordable option for a garden where access or budgets are tighter. An above ground pool kit can be a short‑term solution, but the trade‑off is durability, insulation and appearance. If you are comparing the cost of a new swimming pool UK wide, we can outline the features and more cost effective options that suit your property.
Planning permission is not always required for an outdoor pool, but indoor structures, extensions and locations in a conservation area may need consent. We coordinate with your architect and builder to align structure, vapour control and ventilation. Difficult ground conditions, high water level, restricted access and complex glazing can all cause cost increases and longer installation timelines. We advise on the plant room location in the house or adjacent building, access routes, and making pools easier to service over time.
Heating, filtration and ventilation drive most running costs. Annual swimming pool running costs commonly range around £3,000 to £4,000 for a pool in the UK, though usage patterns and energy tariffs vary. Heat pumps can reduce energy use, but larger pools require more heat input. Maintenance costs include electricity for pumps, chemicals and routine servicing. Good circulation and correct water chemistry reduce algae growth and help protect finishes. Over a long lifespan, equipment upgrades can further improve efficiency. See how renovation can reduce bills in our article on cutting pool running costs and explore an indoor swimming pool project in the Cotswolds.

Most indoor pools fall between £85,000 and £220,000+, with recent UK projects averaging around £152,500. Ground conditions, pool type, finishes, and the ventilation and dehumidification specification drive the final figure. For a fuller breakdown of allowances and typical extras, see our guide to building a swimming pool in the UK.
The pool itself may not need consent, but indoor structures, extensions and properties in a conservation area often do. We coordinate with your architect so structure, vapour control and ventilation are aligned. For the key rules and examples, read our article on swimming pool planning permission.
Annual running costs commonly range around £3,000 to £4,000 for a private pool in the UK, which is roughly £250 to £330 per month. Usage patterns, energy tariffs, pool size and the heating approach all affect this. See practical upgrade ideas in our guide to cutting pool running costs.
An indoor pool needs controlled ventilation with dehumidification sized to the water area and typical use. This protects the building fabric and keeps the air comfortable. We specify systems to match the pool heating and covers, then plan the plant room and duct routes with your design team.
Yes. We upgrade finishes, covers, lighting, pumps, filtration and heating, and we can improve efficiency with heat pump technology and better controls. We start with a condition review and a costed plan, then schedule works to minimise disruption. Explore a recent indoor swimming pool project in the Cotswolds.
