How much does a swimming pool cost?
Typically £65,000 to £150,000+
Tonbridge properties can present very different starting points for a swimming pool project, from the available garden space and access to what lies beneath the ground. We have worked on a pool in the area where conditions varied from rock at one end of the excavation to sand at the other, which is a good example of why each site needs to be assessed individually.
Before deciding on the final pool design or construction method, we consider the property, access, intended use and ground conditions. Where necessary, soil testing and further ground investigation can then inform the structural design.
We also consider the pool as a complete system from the outset, including heating, filtration, covers, plant equipment and how it will sit within the house, terraces and wider garden.

A Recent Pool Project in Tonbridge
A Recent Pool Project in Tonbridge
One of our Tonbridge projects involved the installation of a 9.5m × 4m one-piece swimming pool, designed around the client’s garden and the way they wanted to use the space.
The pool includes floating steps, high-line skimmers, an automatic fabric safety cover and dedicated heating. The finished project went on to receive a SPATA Silver Award.
Mermaid has continued to look after the pool following its installation, providing the same ongoing maintenance and support available to all of our pool clients.

FAQs
There are lots of variables when it comes to the price of a swimming pool, including its size, construction method, finishes and specification. Typically, our swimming pool projects range from £65,000 to £150,000+.
Yes. We work throughout Tonbridge and the surrounding area such as Hildenborough, Penshurst, Tudeley, Five Oak Green and more. As part of our wider coverage across Kent, East Sussex, South London and selected parts of Surrey.
Our usual working area extends approximately 40–50 miles from our base near Sandhurst, although this is a guide rather than a strict boundary. If you are nearby and unsure whether we cover your property, contact us with your location.
There is no single construction method that is right for every property.
The most appropriate option depends on factors including the available space, access, desired size and shape, specification, programme and how you intend to use the pool.
We offer bespoke concrete pools as well as one-piece installations and can also assess existing swimming pools for refurbishment.
We construct pools all year round, but there are conditions and situations that we have to take into account, such as air temperature and even material temperatures. If either one of these is too high or too low, it can affect crystallisation and strength of the bonding and construction materials we use. Luckily, we know what we’re doing and won’t do anything that might negatively affect the quality of your pool. To guarantee a long-lasting and well-built pool, ALWAYS use the services of a professional and accredited company.
Swimming pools typically start at 5m in length and in domestic settings normally extend up to 16m or longer. But if you prefer a 25m lap pool or even a compact 2.5m × 2.5m plunge pool, we can build that too. It really depends on how much space you have.
Absolutely! We highly recommend and encourage customising your swimming pool to be exactly as you want. This could be as simple as choosing a unique coloured tile or surround, or as extensive as adding a custom beach area, swim training zone, or specialised steps. A pool is a lifetime investment that you want to use all year round for exercise, entertainment and relaxation, so make it your own.
Outdoor domestic swimming pools typically don’t require planning permission since they can usually be installed under permitted development rights. They’re considered incidental to the enjoyment of the main house and can be built without an application, as long as they meet specific limits and conditions.
We recommend checking with your local planning authority, especially if your property or the surrounding area has any of the following classifications:
- Designated land
- National Landscape
- Green Belt land
- Listed building
- Conservation area.
A typical in-ground swimming pool installation takes 4 to 16 weeks, though some projects can be completed in as little as 3 weeks. The timeline varies based on the pool type (Gunite, Cast Concrete or Mono-block), size, complexity and custom features. Concrete pools generally take longer due to the curing process, especially for complex custom projects – but their customisation options and durability make the extra time worthwhile.
Yes. Our service continues beyond installation.
We provide ongoing servicing, maintenance, repairs and technical support, meaning you can have the same experienced team looking after the pool after the construction work is complete.
