Over time, ground movement and the natural ageing of materials can weaken certain parts of a swimming pool, leading to cracks, water infiltration and structural damage.
Our pool masonry services provide the foundation for a durable and long-lasting swimming pool. We carry out structural repairs to restore the integrity of the pool, reinforce weakened areas and ensure a solid base for future renovation work or the installation of a new pool finish.
Certain warning signs may indicate that masonry repairs are needed, particularly if you notice:
It is never too early to have your swimming pool inspected. An early diagnosis can often prevent more extensive damage and reduce the cost of future repairs.
For over 20 years, MC Piscine has specialised in swimming pool masonry and structural renovation.
We regularly undertake projects throughout Monaco and the French Riviera, including structural modifications, the construction and renovation of pool decks, and the transformation of existing swimming pools.
Cracks, localised settlement and wall deformation are common issues that can affect swimming pools over time.
Our structural renovation work is designed to restore the integrity of the pool by repairing weakened areas and reinforcing the existing structure.
We carry out repairs to the pool walls and floor, restoring damaged sections, correcting masonry defects and strengthening structural components where necessary.
Every repair is tailored to the technical characteristics of the pool—including its structural design, the presence of steps or built-in benches, and whether it is an infinity pool—to ensure a seamless integration between the existing structure and the renovated areas.
A sound and stable structure is also essential before installing or replacing a pool finish, whether it is mosaic tiles, polyester or ceramic tiling.
During renovation projects, we often find that structural defects are hidden beneath the existing pool finish. Carrying out a comprehensive inspection before starting any renovation work allows potential issues to be identified early, helping to avoid unexpected repairs and ensuring a more durable result.
In 2025, we completed the structural renovation of more than 30 swimming pools across Monaco and the French Riviera.
Adding a Baja shelf (also known as a tanning ledge or sun shelf) is one of the most popular ways to enhance both the comfort of swimmers and the overall aesthetics of a swimming pool.
This feature is particularly common in luxury private pools, five-star hotels, and high-end residential properties throughout Monaco and the French Riviera.
Every project begins with a detailed structural assessment of the existing pool to evaluate the feasibility of the new Baja shelf and identify any modifications required.
Our team then determines the ideal dimensions, depth and location of the shelf, taking into account swimmer circulation, the hydraulic system and the selected pool finish.
With more than 20 years of experience in swimming pool masonry, we design and build bespoke Baja shelves that integrate seamlessly with the existing pool while combining aesthetics, comfort and long-term durability.
For over 20 years, MC Piscine has been helping homeowners and luxury hotels transform existing swimming pools to better suit their needs and enhance the overall swimming experience.
Our team designs and delivers bespoke renovations, including the addition of pool steps, built-in benches, Baja shelves (sun shelves), depth modifications, and the conversion of existing pools to infinity-edge systems.
As part of the renovation of a 15-year-old family swimming pool in Monaco, the owners wanted to improve the comfort and functionality of their pool without undertaking a complete reconstruction.
Following a detailed structural assessment, our team designed and built a built-in underwater bench and partially reshaped the pool floor to create a dedicated relaxation area.
The result was a modernised swimming pool that retained its original structure while offering greater comfort, improved usability and seamless integration with the surrounding outdoor living space.
The balance tank is an essential component of an infinity pool, collecting the water that continuously overflows from the main pool. Proper waterproofing is crucial to ensure the hydraulic system operates efficiently and to prevent water loss.
Over time, the balance tank may develop cracks, waterproofing failures or general deterioration due to the natural ageing of materials. These issues can lead to water infiltration, excessive water consumption and damage to the pool's hydraulic equipment.
At MC Piscine, every project begins with a comprehensive inspection of the balance tank to accurately identify the source of the problem. Our technicians then carry out the necessary repairs, including surface preparation, crack repairs and the installation of a waterproofing system tailored to the pool's construction and finish.
Cracks, settlement, wall deformation or an unusual drop in the water level may indicate a structural problem. A professional inspection can identify the cause and determine the repairs required.
Yes. We regularly carry out structural alterations, including the construction of pool steps, built-in benches, Baja shelves (sun shelves) and pool depth modifications to improve both functionality and comfort.
In many cases, yes. A sound and stable structure is essential to ensure the durability of a new pool finish. Any cracks or damage to the substrate should be repaired before installing mosaic tiles, ceramic tiles or a polyester finish.
The duration of the project depends on its complexity, whether it involves repairing structural cracks, modifying the pool structure or creating new features. A detailed work schedule is provided before construction begins.
MC Piscine provides pool masonry, renovation and structural repair services throughout Monaco and the French Riviera, including Villefranche-sur-Mer, Èze, Monaco, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap-d'Ail, Beausoleil and Menton.
