Waterline tile fails from the back forward: the bond behind it lets go, water gets in, and neighboring tiles start loosening one by one. A single popped tile is the early warning. We re-set loose tile, replace broken and missing pieces with the closest match we can source, and fix the bond problem that started it. Call (941) 555-0142.
Act when tiles sound hollow tapped with a pool pole, when grout lines crack or wash out, or when tiles have visibly shifted, cracked, or dropped to the pool floor. The waterline takes the worst of it — sun above, water below, and the beam behind it expanding and contracting. Winter is the classic loosener even in Florida’s mild version. Missing tile isn’t just cosmetic: the exposed beam absorbs water, and freeze-or-heat cycling turns one gap into a run of failures.
We survey the whole waterline first — the failed section plus everything sounding hollow — so the repair covers the real damage, not just the visible piece.
Loose and fallen tile gets removed, the beam cleaned and prepared, and tile re-set with proper thinset and grout rated for submerged life.
Broken or lost tiles get matched from supplier stock or salvaged from hidden runs when a pattern is discontinued; we show you the match before setting it.
The repair is documented in photos, waterline to grout lines.
Price scales with footage and tile availability — re-setting a short run is modest, matching a discontinued pattern across a long stretch costs more. Photos of the damage and a wide shot of the waterline get you a free quote, usually same day. Every number is approved before work starts.
