Frequently Asked Questions

Can I tile over existing tiles?
Sometimes, but it's not usually recommended. Tiling over tiles adds thickness (affecting coping and fittings) and relies on the old tiles' adhesion. For best results, we remove old tiles and start fresh. This ensures proper waterproofing and maximum tile lifespan.

What grout is best for pool tiles?
We use epoxy grout for all pool tiling. Unlike cement grout, epoxy is waterproof, stain-resistant, and won't crack or crumble. It costs more but lasts the life of the tiles and requires minimal maintenance.

Is a fully tiled pool better than pebblecrete?
Both have advantages. Fully tiled pools offer the longest lifespan (25-50 years), easiest cleaning, and most design options. Pebblecrete costs less and provides a natural look. We can discuss which suits your needs and budget.

Can you match my existing tiles?
We'll do our best to match existing tiles for repairs. If exact matches aren't available, we source the closest alternative or suggest complementary tiles. For waterline replacement, many homeowners choose to upgrade to a fresh new look.
