Opulent Pools Reveal a Transformative Pool Renovation in West Kingsdown, Sevenoaks, Kent
Opulent Pools are the premier swimming pool builders of the South East and we’re proud to announce the completion of another standout project, showcasing our expertise in creating bespoke, luxury pools – specialising in installations across Sussex and Surrey. Our most recent work in West Kingsdown, Sevenoaks, Kent, is true testament to our commitment to quality and modern design.
The Challenge – Modernising a Family Space!
Our latest client, a young family of five, approached us with a vision to completely transform their outdoor area. Their existing pool, once a centrepiece of their garden, had become outdated and in need of a drastic makeover.
The family sought a contemporary, sleek pool that would not only serve as a place for relaxation and enjoyment but also enhance the aesthetics and safety of their home.
The Design Vision – Contemporary meets Safe, and Stylish
To meet the family’s needs, we chose stunning, on-trend Ezarri Mosaics for the pool’s interior. These mosaics introduced a vibrant, fresh look, propelling the overall design to a whole new level of sophistication.
One of the most significant changes was to the pool’s shape. Opulent Pools extended the existing structure to a square profile, opting for a modern, angular design rather than retaining the classic Roman end.

This new shape allowed for a Certikin safety cover to be easily installed, providing peace of mind for the family by ensuring the safety of their young children. The cover also offered practical benefits by helping retain heat and limiting the disruption of pool temperature and pH balance due to rainwater infiltration.
Surrounding the pool, we laid limestone paving, chosen to complement the charming character of the family’s home. The combination of modern mosaics and natural limestone created a visually stunning yet functional space, blending the pool area seamlessly with the entire garden.
Step-by-Step Transformation – Bringing the Vision to Life!
1. Initial Preparations
The project commenced with our team arriving on-site in West Kingsdown. We immediately started with the drainage work, followed by the removal of all the old tiles, preparing the pool for its transformation.
2. Reshaping the Pool
One of the key aspects of this renovation was reshaping the pool. The traditional Roman end was squared off to allow for the installation of the safety cover. This required precise excavation and rendering to extend the pool, ensuring that the final shape was perfectly suited to the new cover system.
3. Safety Cover Pit Construction
We began excavating the deep end to install the new concrete safety cover pit. This structure was built using hollow blocks filled with concrete, and we reinforced the connection to the existing pool shell with rebar and resin to guarantee structural integrity.
4. Rendering and Reinforcement
To ensure the pool was perfectly plumb for the safety cover’s smooth operation, we addressed a 40mm discrepancy in the original structure. By installing a stainless steel mesh to reinforce the thick render, we corrected the alignment and ensured the pool walls were parallel and square.
5. Tiling and Limestone Paving
Once the structural work was complete, we proceeded to tile the pool using the beautiful Ezarri Mosaics, transforming its look entirely. The surrounding area was also overhauled, with natural limestone paving laid to enhance the overall aesthetic, offering a timeless elegance to the outdoor space.
6. The Final Touches – Filling the Pool and Installing the Cover
With the pool fully tiled and the limestone paving in place, we filled the pool with water and proceeded with the final installation of the Certikin safety cover. The transformation was immediately apparent. The new square design retained some of the charm of the original Roman end but in a modern, updated form. The cover not only blended seamlessly with the surroundings but also ensured the family could enjoy the pool area worry-free.
7. A Stunning Outcome – A Modern, Safe, and Inviting Outdoor Haven
The completed project exceeded all expectations. The family was thrilled with the transformation of their outdoor space, now boasting a contemporary pool that matched both their style and safety needs. The sleek mosaics, practical safety features, and elegant limestone paving combined to create a beautiful, functional haven where the family can relax, entertain, and enjoy quality time together.
At Opulent Pools, we take great pride in turning dreams into reality. This pool renovation in West Kingsdown is just one example of how we can breathe new life into any outdoor space, no matter the challenge.
