Aquascape Swimming Pools designs and builds bespoke liner swimming pools across Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds and selected areas of southern England. Our liner pool construction service covers design, groundworks, installation, commissioning and ongoing care. If you want a custom, durable swimming pool with a smooth finish and reliable waterproofing, we plan and deliver it around your property and how you want to swim.
A liner pool uses a structural shell with a made‑to‑measure vinyl membrane as the waterproof barrier. The result is a smooth, comfortable surface that reduces the risk of abrasions and is easier to clean than porous finishes. Compared with fully tiled concrete, the initial investment is typically cheaper, installation is quicker and the finish offers excellent durability when properly maintained. We build in‑ground liner pools rather than above ground pool kits, focusing on long term quality, safe access and dependable technical systems.
Your pool design starts with pool size, depth, shape and how the space will be used. We then help you choose between an extensive range of swimming pool liners, colours and patterns. Options include a plain liner for a clean aesthetic or printed patterns with a contrasting tile band around the edge. Many customers still favour a classic plain blue finish, while others prefer modern textures and darker tones.
Vinyl liners are available in several thicknesses. Standard liners start around 20 gauge, while thicker liners, such as 30 gauge, can extend lifespan towards 15 to 20 years with care. For higher traffic pools or extra confidence, reinforced pvc provides added puncture resistance. We explain the trade‑offs so your chosen liner suits the style, use and maintenance needs of the pool.
On site, we complete a survey, set out levels and prepare the ground. The pool shell is typically constructed from high density concrete blocks for the pool walls, with a 2‑inch sand and cement screed to create a smooth base. Pipework for the skimmer, main drain, returns and the filter line is installed, pressure tested and connected back to the plant room.
Your made‑to‑measure pool liner is then installed. A felt or foam underlay may be added where suitable. The liner bead sits into a track at the coping to secure the lining neatly at the top. We use a high powered vacuum to remove air behind the liner and pull it tight for a perfect fit against floors and walls, then begin to fill with water while monitoring alignment. The process is efficient, typically one to three weeks depending on ground conditions, access, pool size and specification. After commissioning the pump, filter, heater and controls, we balance the pool water and hand-over with clear guidance.

The cost of a liner pool varies by specification. Key factors include:
A quality pool cover supports heat retention, safety and easier maintenance, and often pays back through reduced energy use. We itemise each choice clearly so you can compare price against benefits.
With correct care, vinyl liners are durable. Most pool liners last 7 to 15 years, with reinforced options and thicker liners extending that window. The material is smooth and non‑porous, which makes it harder for algae to cling, but water balance still matters. Poor chemistry or prolonged exposure to strong UV rays can shorten lifespan, so planned maintenance is wise.
Simple habits help maintain quality. Keep the filter clean, test and maintain the water, and use a cover, especially in winter. If an old liner shows significant fading, brittleness or leaks, we can drain the pool, inspect that the substrate remains in good condition, prepare surfaces, then install a new liner and refill. Many owners choose this moment to upgrade the waterproofing or change colours and patterns for a fresh look.
If a more extensive refresh is needed, our swimming pool renovation service can review steps, surrounds, lighting and technical equipment as part of the project.
We design around how you plan to swim, then specify materials and equipment that suit the property and your maintenance needs. Our team handles design, construction, liner installation, filtration setup and handover. After completion, our swimming pool maintenance services keep the system reliable and the water clear, and we can supply consumables and spares through our pool supplies support.

We focus on in‑ground liner pools, not above ground pool kits. Our projects use a structural shell with high density concrete block walls and a made‑to‑measure vinyl liner, planned around safe access, long term reliability and the technical performance of the whole system.
Most liner pool installations take one to three weeks on site. Timescales depend on ground conditions, access, pool size, shape and the chosen specification. We handle survey, excavation, blockwork, pipework pressure testing and liner fitting, then commission the plant and balance the water before handover.
We supply standard liners around 20 gauge, thicker liners such as 30 gauge that can extend lifespan towards 15 to 20 years with care, and reinforced pvc for added puncture resistance. You can choose plain blue, textured tones or patterns with a contrasting tile band. We help match thickness and finish to expected use.
Price is shaped by pool size, depth and shape, ground conditions and access, liner type and thickness, plant room layout and pipe runs, filtration capacity, heating and controls, covers, steps, surrounds and lighting. We itemise each choice so you can see where spend brings the most benefit.
Yes. We can remove the old liner, inspect and prepare the substrate, then install and vacuum‑fit a new liner. Many clients use replacement to upgrade waterproofing or to change colours, patterns or add a tile band for a fresh look before refilling and recommissioning.
