What Is Pool Tiling?
Pool tiling is the installation of specialized ceramic, porcelain, glass, or stone tiles in and around swimming pools. These tiles must withstand constant water exposure and chemical treatments.
This specialized trade requires understanding of waterproofing, proper adhesive selection, expansion joint placement, and grout chemistry for underwater applications.
• Substrate Evaluation & Preparation
The surface must be sound, clean, and properly prepared. We assess existing conditions and address any structural issues before tiling begins.
• Waterproof Membrane Application
Behind-tile waterproofing prevents water penetration into pool shells and surrounding structures. This critical step prevents future problems.
• Specialized Adhesive Selection
Regular tile adhesive fails underwater. We use only approved pool-grade products that maintain bond strength despite constant immersion.
• Precision Tile Layout & Installation
Proper spacing, alignment, and pattern matching require skill and experience. We ensure consistent grout lines and perfect corners throughout.
• Flexible Grouting & Sealing
Pool grout must flex with temperature changes without cracking. We use chemical-resistant, flexible grouts formulated for pool environments.
Whether you need new waterline tiles or complete pool tiling, our certified installers deliver quality that protects your investment and enhances your property.

We discuss your vision, show tile samples, and help you select materials that suit your pool type, budget, and style. Proper planning ensures cohesive results that exceed expectations.

Complete Pool Tiling Material Comparison Guide
Choosing the right pool tile material affects durability, safety, maintenance, and long-term performance. Not all tiles are suitable for constant water exposure, chemicals, and UV conditions. Here’s a clear comparison to help you choose confidently.
Porcelain Pool Tiles
Porcelain tiles are dense, low-porosity, and extremely durable. They resist water absorption, chemical damage, and staining, making them one of the most reliable options for pool interiors and waterlines. Ideal for modern designs and long-term performance.
Best for: Full pool interiors and waterline tiling
Pros: Very low absorption, high strength, colour stability
Considerations: Requires precision installation for best results
Ceramic Pool Tiles
Ceramic tiles are a cost-effective option commonly used on waterlines. When pool-rated, they offer good durability and design flexibility. However, they must be installed with proper waterproofing and adhesives to prevent failure.
Best for: Waterline bands and decorative sections
Pros: Affordable, wide design range
Considerations: Higher porosity than porcelain
Glass Mosaic Pool Tiles
Glass mosaic tiles deliver a premium finish with exceptional visual depth. They are non-porous, highly resistant to chemicals, and excellent for feature areas. Professional installation is critical due to their detailed layouts.
Best for: Feature walls, steps, spas, and luxury pools
Pros: Zero porosity, vibrant colour, premium look
Considerations: Higher cost and labour intensity
Natural Stone Pool Tiles
Stone tiles such as travertine or marble offer a natural, elegant appearance. They require sealing and careful placement, particularly in submerged areas, to prevent water absorption and surface wear.
Best for: Feature areas and shallow zones
Pros: Natural aesthetics, timeless appeal
Considerations: Requires sealing and maintenance
Mosaic Feature Tiles
Small format mosaic tiles provide flexibility for curves, steps, and complex pool shapes. They create visual interest while allowing better movement accommodation.
Best for: Curved pools, steps, ledges
Pros: Design flexibility, detailed patterns
Considerations: More grout lines require skilled installation

Common Pool Tiling Problems and Warning Signs
Pool tile issues rarely appear overnight. Early warning signs often indicate deeper waterproofing or installation problems that can lead to costly repairs if ignored.
Loose or Drummy Tiles
Tiles that sound hollow or move under pressure indicate adhesive failure. This allows water to travel behind the pool shell and compromises structural integrity.
Cracked or Missing Grout
Cracked grout allows water infiltration and chemical damage. This is often a sign of poor grout selection or insufficient movement allowance during installation.
Waterline Staining and Scale Buildup
Persistent staining at the waterline may indicate tile porosity or incorrect tile selection. It can also suggest early surface degradation.
Tiles Lifting or Popping
Tiles lifting away from the surface are a serious warning sign of waterproofing failure or substrate movement. Immediate attention is required to prevent widespread damage.
Sharp Tile Edges or Chipping
Chipped or sharp tiles create safety hazards and often signal material fatigue or improper cutting during installation.
Discolouration or Fading
Colour changes can indicate UV degradation, chemical damage, or poor-quality tile materials not designed for pool environments.
