Pool tiling and coping
Tiles that stay on
Our NSW licence covers wall and floor tiling as well as pool building, so we retile pools in the Inner West ourselves: new waterline tiles, full mosaic interiors and the coping around the edge. Send a few photos for a free quote.
Pool tiles live underwater, in the sun and through every change in water chemistry, so they fail where the bed underneath wasn’t prepared or the adhesive and grout weren’t made for submerged work. Most retiling jobs start by finding out why the old tiles came loose, and when only a few have, a tile repair re-fixes them on a sound bed.

Local know-how
Pools in the Inner West: what to plan for
Inner West yards are small and access is tight: terraces, semis and narrow lots, many in heritage conservation areas. Pools here are usually plunge or lap pools, and getting machines in is part of the plan.
Tight access
With no side access, excavation is done by small machines, by hand or with a crane over the house, which the quote allows for.
Heritage areas
In a heritage conservation area a pool can be complying development only in limited cases, so it often needs a development application.
Small pools
A plunge pool, a lap pool along the boundary or a spa makes the most of a narrow yard.

Questions
Common questions
What people ask us about pool tiling and coping before they book.
Can new tiles match my old ones?
Exact matches are rare on older pools, because tile ranges change. That's why waterline tiles are usually replaced as a full band rather than patched.
What usually fails first, the tiles or the grout?
Usually the grout. Water chemistry and age wear it down, and once it goes, water gets behind the tiles and they start to lift.
How long does retiling take?
New waterline tiles usually take a few days to a week, depending on how much water has to come out and how the old tiles come off. A fully tiled interior takes longer, typically two to four weeks, with time for the adhesive and grout to cure before the pool is filled.
Can waterline tiles be replaced without emptying the pool?
Often the water only needs to come down below the tile line. If tiles further down or the render behind them have failed, the pool has to be emptied.
