Pool tiles begin to crack after sometime has passed, and most of them just simply break apart due to the force put on them by stepping; your only approach to a repair like this is to remove those damaged times and begin to plan for repair.
Replacing the times may be your most permanent solution rather than just repairing them with grout like some people do to save time and also to save some money too.
When you tiles simply crack without breaking, you may get away with a repair method rather then a replacement; if your budget allows it though just change them instead.

I began this swimming pool tile repair project with removing all the cracked times first. I then continued into carefully cleaning my surface area. Doing the cleanup will allow the thin-set to stick stronger due to its dry clean surface.
The smart approach here is to remove the grout in between good and bad tiles first, that way when you get ready to chisel the cracked tile out it does not damage the good one next to it; do this step with a flat tool to fit perfectly in between the two.
When you have all the tiles removed, and you also have the surface areas cleaned; you may now lay the thin-set across the surface and after the tiles side by side using the spacers. When you have giving the thin-set at least 1 hour to cure, you may now grout the tile lines and also after at least 15 minutes you may then wipe the dried grout with a wet Sponge.

good instructions, but it will be great to actually show how the critical steps are done, e.g. chipping off the broken tiles, or applying the grout ....
great suggestion and I do plan on future videos to be more present on how to once I hire an assistant to follow me along while doing the job. at this time in the business I am doing my best to grow the channel by myself. thanks for watching and for your feedback
We had some pool tiles pop off during the Texas freeze 2021, our only damage so far. Pool repairs are backlogged, but I am confident I can do the repair myself. Beautiful result, Alain! Excellent instruction! Thank you!
thanks for sharing. working with tiles is a step by step workflow. do one thing first. wait. then the next. wait. and so on. the end result should be consistent.
Thank you for taking the time to video the process. Helped a lot!
Glad it helped! subscribe please for future videos
I must have watched 5 or 6 videos on this subject. This by far the most detailed and comprehensive. It answered all the questions I had from other videos. Thank you for taking the time to make it for people like me.

Thanks so much for this great video, You made it easy to follow and I did such a good job, that I can’t even tell which tiles, I fixed, thank goodness I took before and after pictures. Couldn’t have done it without you and thanks for saving me the money on having somebody else do it.

MasterMind HandyMan , I subscribed right after watching that video.
Very nice pebble Chipping.
hehe glad you like.
Great video, I have a couple of tiles that have pushed out from behind, I guess maybe the concrete shifted a little bit or expanded and pushed them out, they are still partially on. I’m not sure what pushed it out but hopefully when I chisel I’ll be able to get it nice and flat. Thanks for making this great video.

I do tile professionally , 20 years however I have never worked on pools. Now that I have a home with a pool, this year we opened the cover to discover tiles had come off. We dropped the water level well below all tile last fall. We did not buy an automatic pool cover pump which turns on automatically. There was a lot of water from Winter that built up and the froze on the cover. My guess is the weight of the ice and water on the cover pushed down and the pool water rose up underneath because of the weight on top. This cased a freeze thaw situation which popped the tile off. I wont make that mistake this year and I will buy the automated pump. I am a little concerned with using customs speed set in this application as I have heard Granny Rapid is better for pool and outdoor Situations. Isn't a situation where thin set mixed with water can have problems outdoors and cause a freeze thaw situation? There are also much better chemical resistant grouts than normal sanded grout especially the polyblend grout. I would think Quartz grout would be better or Mapei Ultra color FA ? Would love your feed back as I am now looking for the best materials to make sure my repair is going to last. This is a gunite pool about 13 years old.
hi. thanks for stopping by. you had great points as to which product to used. one thing I learned is that depending on the water. salt or regular. also depending on if the pool is screened in or opened. there are different types of materials for different enviroments. i can't suggest specific one considering how many options there are at the store. i do recommend when yo uare ready use customs products. go with a grout and a thinset you can mix in yourself rather than already mixed. this will allow for a fresh application rather than a sitting on a shelve wet product. always go with the professional grade as these are special chemicals for long lasting.
I would have used white thinset and undercut the waterline tile and the scum gutter tile would have made removing a breeze no flat blade by a pool ever alos pool looks like it has a lot of copper staining nice job end result 👍
great tip. i guess it comes down to we are all used to our methods.
Thank you
welcome. thanks for stopping by. please subscribe.
great video how did you keep the trash/waste from falling into pool water?
hi. good question. I used a simple technique. floating carboard. so as pieces fell it fell on it and then I cleaned it and kept going.
@@MasterMindHandyMan I was thinking about using the 1" rigid foam board. Thanks
@@bigtexajd yes sir. great idea. anything that floats is perfect.
Now that’s a great question! 👍
Wonderful video explain how to do and do a good job also
Thank you very much. sorry for responding late. still reviewing and responding to hundreds of comments. please forgive me as I'm trying to learn and grow the channel and a business lol.
What's the difference between Custom SpeedSet and E-Z Patch 3? E-Z Patch 3 is marketed as pool tile cement, but does it have any significant differences?
hi. in fact they do. the speedset is designed for pros. needing to install tiles in a quick manner. where as other cement products cure in its normal time frame. sorry for responding late. still reviewing and responding to hundreds of comments. please forgive me as I'm trying to learn and grow the channel and a business lol.
@@MasterMindHandyMan no problem, thanks for the reply. RUclips doesn't make it easy to see responses to comments. I did the job using SpeedSet and it seems fine.
@@chinagoer9863 glad you did is the best. please subscribe for future handyman videos.
Do you need to seal the grout
yes. the steps shown on the video are to be followed. first you use the thinset to stick the tile onto the wall. once 30 minutes at least have passed then grout it. after 15 minutes or less then wipe down the grout before it fully dries.
What is the name of that style tile? I have similar that i need removed and replaced.
I wish I knew the name of the tile sorry I do not.
It looks like a daltile sapphire 6×6
Hi where can i get this pool tile ? I need to repair my pool which has same tile on the edge of the pool.
i wish I knew the name of it and would be happy to tell you. I recommend to look up home depot inventory and sorting through the material and hope you get lucky
How do you clean up all the grout you have floating in the pool now?
that is a great point of concern. I personally did my best to not allow much to fall into the pool. however the small portion that does is normal. the solutions of the pool, just like the sweat of people. will eventually clean it. besides that though I had the pool guy scheduled to come in after me and cleanup the pool before opening on monday. If you do not have such person to cleanup after, then of course go in and pickup as much as possible to minimize the grout from disolving.
Bubble wrap works really well taped under the tile line as it floats on the water and allows you to catch most of the debris
same type & color tile I have. Trick is not to crack the good tile next to the bad one.
great point. that was the whole intention of the part where I showed how I removed the cracked tile. in the effort to not damaged the one next to it. you may though by mistake which is human error and so just remove that too. overall I probably cracked 1 un intentional and the rest turnout ok lol. thanks for sharing. glad you liked the video. subscribe for future home improvement and handyman videos.
@@MasterMindHandyMan Yes, I'm subbed!!!
17k views, yet nobody gives you credit to send a like? Not cool.
i know right lol. the only explanation could be that people are so excited to watch and learn that they do not care about the like button. lol not cool. would you be the first?
why didn't you show the actual work on the tile? i hear you explaining what you're going to do, then you just skip to the edit of the finished work. do you know what i'm talking about? it's like saying look at my very dirty car, then you talk about how to wash a car, then skipping all the washing part, edit to a clean car....look, we're done.
my apologies for now spending 3 hours showing step by step. i am new with youtube and videos plus running a business so doing the best I can. I figured if explaining it then showing it done gives the viewer a sense of what I said. the idea is to guide you not to do it for you. thanks for the feedback and will take that into consideration on future videos.
