Pool Tile Repair & Replacement Services Dallas, Plano, Frisco TX
Tile is typically found around the perimeter of a pool or spa at the waterline. Other applications include raised walls, spa spillways, and even trim or spotter tile on benches and steps. Some pools are completely surfaced in tile. Changing your tile can completely transform the look of your pool and hardscape, whether you prefer a decorative look or a look that blends into the surrounding features.
Material Selection:
There is a wide range of tile looks and pricing, depending on the material chosen (porcelain, ceramic, glass, etc) and the manufacturer. There is quite a wide availability of choices in the standard selection, those in the lowest pricing tier. Equally as important as tile selection is the materials used to set and grout the tile. We use the highest quality of thin-set mortar and grout materials, and we use the appropriate one for the type and size of tile you choose. This helps insure the integrity of the installation and the lasting beauty of the tile, given the pool is maintained properly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Tile Replacement and Repair
What causes pool tiles to crack or fall off?
Pool tiles can crack or fall off due to a combination of age, shifting soil, water pressure, freeze-thaw cycles, or improper installation. Over time, water can seep behind tiles, weakening the bond between the tile and the pool structure.
How long do pool tiles typically last?
With proper maintenance, quality pool tiles can last 10 to 20 years or more. However, environmental conditions and how well the pool is maintained can shorten or extend that lifespan.
Can I replace just a few damaged tiles, or do I need to redo the whole pool?
If only a small number of tiles are damaged, spot repairs are usually sufficient. If the damage is widespread or the tiles are outdated, it may be more cost-effective to replace all the tile during a renovation.
Is it normal for pool tiles to come loose over time?
Yes, over time, it’s normal for some pool tiles to loosen—especially in older pools. Repeated exposure to water and chemicals, plus the natural settling of the pool, can break down adhesives.
What kind of tiles are used for swimming pools?
Pool tiles are typically made from ceramic, porcelain, or glass. These materials are chosen because they are water-resistant, durable, and easy to clean. Pool tile selections must be formulated for continuous underwater application.
How do you fix a loose or missing pool tile?
The general process includes:
- Removing any loose or broken tiles and old adhesive.
- Cleaning the surface thoroughly.
- Applying fresh thin-set mortar.
- Pressing the tile into place.
- Grouting and allowing it to cure before the homeowner refills the pool.
Can pool tile repairs be done while the pool is full?
No, tile repair usually requires the water level to be lowered below the damaged area. For repairs near the waterline, draining the pool is typically not necessary—just lowering it a few inches is often enough.
What is waterline tile, and why is it important?
Waterline tile is the row of tile installed at the top edge of the pool, just above the water. It protects the pool surface from scum and mineral buildup, which can be difficult to remove from plaster or concrete.
