Replace cracked, stained, or dated pool tile with new glass, porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone, installed by a licensed crew across Miami, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and all of South Florida. Waterline tile, full pool re-tile, spa and spillway tile, and custom mosaics. Free on-site estimate before any work begins.
From a waterline refresh to a full pool re-tile, handled by one licensed crew.
Replace the band of tile at the waterline where calcium scaling and staining show first. The most common and highest-impact pool tile project in South Florida.
Complete tile replacement for the pool interior, steps, and walls, ideal when tile is failing throughout or you want a full aesthetic change.
Tile and mosaic for spas, raised walls, and spillways, the accent areas guests notice most, finished to match or complement the pool.
Custom glass mosaics, medallions, borders, and accent bands that give the pool a signature, high-end look.
Replace waterline tile and coping together for a cohesive edge, the cleanest and most cost-effective way to refresh the top of the pool.
Re-set popped tiles, repair cracked sections, and regrout deteriorated joints when a full replacement is not yet needed.
Professional calcium and scale removal and surface prep so new tile bonds correctly and lasts, not a quick cosmetic patch.
The right tile depends on your pool, your look, and South Florida's water and sun. Here is what we install and recommend.
Nonporous, fade-resistant, and stunning in South Florida light, glass tile resists staining and chemical wear better than any other option. The premium choice for waterline and full-pool tile.
Dense, low-absorption, and durable, porcelain handles Miami's water and sun with minimal maintenance. A great mid-range option in many finishes, including stone and wood looks.
An affordable, colorful option for waterline bands. Best used with quality glazes; we steer clients away from low-grade ceramic that fades in intense UV.
Travertine and natural stone for a high-end, organic look on raised walls, spas, and spillways. Sealed correctly for South Florida's water chemistry.
Small-format glass mosaics for shimmering, custom waterlines, medallions, and feature walls, the detail that makes a pool look custom.
Bargain ceramic without a quality glaze and improper thin-set are the most common reasons pool tile fails early here. We specify materials and methods rated for South Florida.
If you notice any of these, it is time for a free tile assessment.
A white, crusty buildup along the waterline that keeps coming back after cleaning, a sign the tile and grout are deteriorating.
Individual tiles cracking, chipping, or popping off the wall indicate bond failure or shell movement that should be addressed.
Deteriorated, stained, or missing grout lets water behind the tile, accelerating failure and risking the pool shell.
Permanent staining that will not clean off, or an outdated color and pattern, are the most common reasons owners re-tile.
Unexplained water loss can point to failed grout or tile joints at the waterline, worth an assessment before it worsens.
Our Process
Six coordinated steps from first consultation to final walkthrough, managed by one team.
We inspect your tile, waterline, grout, and pool shell condition, measure linear footage or full-pool area, and recommend a waterline-only or full re-tile.
You choose glass, porcelain, ceramic, stone, or mosaic with honest guidance on what performs in South Florida water and sun. We match spa, spillway, and accent tile.
We lower or drain the pool as needed, remove old tile and failed grout, and clear calcium scale, then prep the surface so new tile bonds correctly.
New tile set with the correct thin-set for pool use, straight lines and consistent spacing, with mosaics and accents installed to plan.
Waterproof grout applied, natural stone sealed where used, and the installation cured properly before refill.
We refill the pool, balance the water chemistry, and walk the finished waterline with you, followed by a written warranty.
South Florida pools face constant sun, hard mineral-rich water, salt air near the coast, and heavy year-round use. Over time that causes calcium scaling along the waterline, grout deterioration, popped or cracked tiles, and fading on lower-grade ceramic.
Glass and quality porcelain tile set with the right thin-set and grout hold up far better here. We assess your pool’s specific conditions and recommend tile and installation methods built to last in this climate, not just to look good on install day.

FAQ
Waterline tile replacement typically runs $2,500 to $6,000. A full pool re-tile runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on pool size and tile selection. Combined tile, coping, and resurfacing projects run $15,000 to $40,000+. We provide a written estimate after a free on-site assessment.
Waterline tile replacement usually takes 3 to 5 days including drain, prep, tile, grout, and refill. A full pool re-tile runs 1 to 2 weeks depending on size and scope. We provide a schedule before work begins.
Glass tile is our top recommendation, it is nonporous, fade-resistant, and holds up beautifully to South Florida's water chemistry and UV. Quality porcelain is an excellent mid-range option. We steer clients away from low-grade ceramic that fades and fails early here.
For waterline tile we typically lower the water below the tile line; for a full re-tile the pool is drained. We handle draining, prep, and refill, and balance the water chemistry when the pool is back in service.
Calcium scaling is caused by South Florida's hard, mineral-rich water and high evaporation. We remove existing scale, replace deteriorated tile and grout, and can recommend water-chemistry practices to slow it returning.
Yes, waterline-only replacement is the most common and cost-effective pool tile project. If the rest of the tile is sound, refreshing just the waterline band dramatically improves the look for a fraction of a full re-tile.
In many cases we can closely match existing tile for repairs or partial replacement. When an exact match is not available, we will show you complementary options, or a full waterline replacement for a consistent look.
If both are due, yes, doing tile, coping, and resurfacing together saves on drainage and mobilization and delivers a cohesive result. If only the tile is failing, a waterline or full re-tile alone is the smarter investment.
