Pool Tiles

[czedd]

Hi All, Im new to this forum and would like some advice on repairing some pool tiles that have come off. The pool is empty and there is an area obout 1 mtr square that will require replacing. Also the water line tiles will need to be replaced as these were a pattern type and some of the pieces are missing. Looks pretty involved and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chris.

hi it may pay to tap ( use a key ) the rest of the tiles to see is they are stuck or drummie (about to come off) no sighn of cracks//////// could be glue failure or a reaction with the mosaic backing mesh take some samples into nearest tile shop to see if still avalable plain square ones should be not sure on others cheers

On this one you need to chip away the broken tiles...it will be easier if you can remove the grout first , then you will not get shock cracks into the surroundind tiles when you chip away...you can use a grinder but don't go deeper than the grout depth as there could be tanking.









On this one you just need to clean any old adhesive and re-stick new ones....

Is the grout epoxy..?..if so then use the same...

Hi Guys, I have gone around the pool and tapped for that drumming sound and found a crack in concrete just below coping. Will remove tiles and take some pics and post. Not looking good?????? I have taken sample tiles to several tile shops and they are not available any more. Will look for a similar coloured tile to replace (50mm X 50mm) and will have to replace water line tiles with a different style. Not sure what type of glue was used so will check with tile shops.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions Chris

Hi Chris,
Not sure where you have taken your sample but this pattern dependent on size is still readily available.
