Worn, cracked, or outdated pool tile can affect both the appearance and performance of your pool. What starts as discoloration, loose sections, or aging materials at the waterline can lead to deeper issues if not addressed. Pool tile replacement removes failing materials and installs a new, properly bonded system that restores both function and visual appeal.
At HDT Custom Pool Builders Boise, pool tile replacement begins with a full evaluation of the existing tile, bond beam, and surrounding structure. As a Boise-based swimming pool contractor serving homeowners since 1978, we focus on more than just appearance — we ensure the new tile system is properly installed for long-term durability, water resistance, and structural stability.
Signs Your Pool Tile Needs Replacement
Common signs include extensive cracking or broken tiles, widespread grout deterioration, discoloration or staining that cannot be cleaned, multiple loose or missing tiles, waterline tile separating across large sections, or outdated or mismatched tile appearance.
What Pool Tile Replacement Includes
Typical replacement work may include removal of existing tile and grout, cleaning and preparation of bonding surfaces, inspection of bond beam and underlying structure, installation of new tile with updated adhesive systems, grout application and sealing, and waterproofing corrections where needed.
Surface Preparation and Waterproofing
Before installing new tile, the surface must be structurally sound and stable, free of debris, old adhesive, and loose material, and properly leveled for consistent tile placement. Waterproofing plays a key role in preventing future tile failure.
Our Replacement Process
We inspect tile and structure, identify underlying issues, remove tile and prepare the surface, install the new tile system, then grout, seal, and perform a final check.
