Solid tips for tile repair for your pool or deck

Tile repair is inevitable

As sure as water is wet, you will eventually need tile repair for your pool or deck.Perhaps you have a pool party, and you need to temporarily repair a tile or two. Examine the area where the tile(s) are missing. If the mortar is still intact, you can simply use grout to hold the tile into place until you can make a proper repair. Be sure that your tile grout is designed for swimming pools; mix it in a small container according to the directions.

Permanent tile repair

When you are ready to permanently replace the tile, completely remove the old mortar carefully, using a chisel, or with a handheld oscillating tool that is fitted with a blade for grout removal. Brush out the dust and mortar particles with a dry paintbrush. Mix thin set tile mortar in a small container according to directions on the bag or box. Spread the mortar about 1/8-inch thick with a notched trowel. Place the appropriate tile in the mortar and apply pressure. Be sure that the new grout joint is uniform with the neighboring tile joints. After the mortar dries, apply the swimming pool tile grout as mentioned above, and allow it to dry before refilling the water level.
