After having been scammed once already and having a cemented gaping hole in my back garden, I contacted another company, namely Dolphin Pools in Port Elizabeth, owned by Darrell Flemming. He assured me with keenness and confidence that he would give me a sparkling sky blue pool. He knew full well that he was taking over an incomplete job from scammers. He promised me that I could count on him finishing the job. He took a while to come and then came sporadically to do the odd job. My son asked to deepen the pool so we had to pay an extra R6,000 which he did. Then he had attitude with my children while I was overseas and he refused to come back and finish the job. I went personally to his house with a friend and spoke about the problem. He agreed to come finish the pool but only came a few more times and left the paving unfinished. He was supposed to marbelite my pool and all I got were empty promises and a complete shutdown in communication. When I eventually got hold of him he asked for more money. I had paid him 75% of the quote as requested and the last 25% was only due on completion to my satisfaction. I am far from satisfied as the marbelite is not there and he said he did the paving instead of that so he settled for 2 coats of blue paint that was not even damp-proofed. I now have a pool that is brown and white and blue in patches because he cut corners. I now have to get a third company to fix up his mess and finish the work. THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND VERY STRESSFUL AND COSTLY. I am a widow and my family is arriving from overseas for Christmas and this pool is a total disaster. Do not use DOLPHIN POOLS AS HE IS A SCAMMER AND A FRAUD. My contact number is ********** 020.
