Any swimming pool requires some maintenance work now and then, especially
if you notice damaged or cracked tiles. Extensive repairs may need the
experience of a professional team, but sometimes you can do the job yourself
following three easy steps, including removing damaged tiles, finding new ones
and installing them.
Three easy steps
So, the first thing you need to do when it comes to pool tile replacement is to lower the pool’s water
level until the area that needs to be repaired is exposed, and let the tiles
dry off. If you need to replace the tiles from the entire pool, all water must
be drained and you will have to let the area dry for a couple of days before
starting the replacement process.
The second step consists of finding replacement tiles,
after having removed the damaged ones with the help of a chisel or a hammer.
You can still use your old tiles if they are in good condition, or you should
find new ones that fit the available space and pattern. Online stores
offer catalogues with a large variety of
tiles for you to choose from, but you can also order custom-made tiles for a
perfect match. Visit this page to know more about us.
Finally, you will have to install the new tiles by
mixing mortar and water as indicated on the packaging. Cover the back of a new
tile with a layer of thinset mortar, and place it immediately into the desired
location. Repeat the procedure for all the other tiles. Keep the tiles dry for
one or two days, and then you can refill your pool and enjoy a swim.
