Pool Tile Replacement

Restore Your Pool’s Beauty with New Tile

Waterline tiles are the crown of your pool - they catch the eye first and set the tone for your entire backyard. When tiles crack, fall off, or become stained beyond cleaning, it detracts from even the most pristine pool finish.

At David Resurface, we specialize in pool tile work that lasts. From simple waterline refreshes to complete tile interiors, we deliver quality craftsmanship with attention to detail.

When to Replace Your Pool Tiles

Signs of Tile Problems

Your waterline tiles need attention when you notice:

• Cracked or chipped tiles - Beyond cosmetic issues, cracks can allow water behind tiles
• Loose or falling tiles - Indicates adhesive failure or substrate problems
• Heavy calcium buildup - White deposits that won’t come off with acid washing
• Faded or stained tiles - Years of chemical exposure can discolor tile surfaces
• Outdated style - Sometimes a design update is all you need

The Importance of Proper Installation

Failed tile work is almost always a result of poor installation. Common mistakes include:

• Using non-waterproof thinset adhesive
• Inadequate substrate preparation
• Improper grout selection
• Not allowing proper cure time

We follow manufacturer specifications exactly and use only materials rated for pool environments.
