Please help!

He has web site which gives his new location. I would not bother with chasing him because he is untrustworthy and does not respond to any correspondence. Despite him giving a fifteen year guarantee it is totally worthless. I pursued him in November last year to repair damaged tiles for a pool which was only two years old. He was very apologetic when I traced him but never responded to any further communications as to beginning the restoration work. I understand he has previous form of this nature In southern Spain . I had considered denouncing him with the authorities but the cost of legally pursuing a claim against him was not cost effective. I decided to hire a reputable builder I had used in the past to do the restoration work. I had even sought some assistance from the Spanish equivalent of the citizens advice which came to nought

I agree with the opinions about Jorge's Pools. I had one installed about 6 years ago and a couple of years later I had a problem with rust from the reinforcing bars showing through the grouting in a small area. I drained the pool to get them to come and look at it, which Jorge did eventually, but it turned out that his brother was siphoning off the work when I had mine installed and it wasn't actually Jorge who installed it. Because of this Jorge didn't really want to become involved, even though I had receipts and a guarantee with his company letterhead. He did send a guy around to fix the problem, after a fashion, but while the pool was drained loads of the grouting was starting to fall out. Jorge didn't want to know about that problem and, In the end, I had to have it regrouted by Mark Howells who did a good job.
As has already been said, your so called guarantee from Jorge's is a waste of paper.
