How Fast Can We Get to You?
We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours. If you send photos, our reply will usually include what we think the problem is and how urgent it looks.
From there, we book an on-site assessment at a time that suits you, then schedule the repair. Simple repairs can often be done soon after the assessment. Bigger jobs that need the pool drained are planned around curing time and your schedule.
Spring is our busiest time, as owners get pools ready for summer. If you’ve noticed a problem, get in touch early so it’s fixed before swimming season starts.
Is Your Pool Tile Problem Urgent?
Not every pool tile problem is an emergency, but some can’t wait. Here’s a quick guide.
Fix now:
- Broken tiles with sharp edges in areas people swim or walk
- Tiles on the pool floor
- Large patches of hollow-sounding tiles
- Water level dropping faster than usual
Fix soon:
- A few loose tiles at the waterline
- Crumbling or missing grout
- Cracked tiles that are still in place
Keep an eye on it:
- Light staining on tiles
- Fine hairline cracks in grout
Every week a loose tile stays loose, water gets further behind the tiles next to it. A small repair now is almost always quicker and cheaper than a bigger one later.

Pool Tile Repairs Near You: Areas We Cover
Eastern Suburbs
Vaucluse, Double Bay, Bellevue Hill, Rose Bay, Point Piper, Bondi, Coogee and Randwick. Coastal salt is hard on grout here. See our local pages for Vaucluse, Double Bay and Bellevue Hill.
North Shore and Lower North Shore
Mosman, Cremorne, Neutral Bay, Chatswood, Willoughby, St Ives and Wahroonga. Many older pools here have original waterlines starting to lift. See Mosman pool tiling.
Northern Beaches
Manly, Dee Why, Freshwater, Collaroy and Avalon. Saltwater pools and coastal exposure mean grout and waterline repairs are common.
Hills District and North West
Castle Hill, Kellyville, Bella Vista, Baulkham Hills and Norwest. Family pools with loose steps and waterline tiles.
Western Sydney
Parramatta, Penrith and Blacktown. Summer heat puts extra stress on waterline tiles.

Repairs We Can Fix Fast
- Loose and drummy tiles. Removed, cleaned back and rebedded with full-coverage adhesive.
- Cracked tiles. Cut out and replaced without disturbing the tiles around them.
- Regrouting. Failed grout raked out and replaced with epoxy.
- Waterline sections. Loose waterline tiles repaired, often by lowering the water rather than fully draining.
- Coping tiles. Cracked or rocking coping rebedded or replaced. See pool coping and tile.
- Step and bench tiles. Chipped or loose tiles in high-traffic spots.
- Calcium lines. White deposits removed and the water path sealed.
We always check why the tiles failed before we fix them, using pool-rated epoxy grout and immersion-rated adhesive. Otherwise you’ll be calling someone again next summer.
What to Do Before We Arrive
A few simple steps help keep the damage from spreading and make the repair easier.
- Don’t pull off loose tiles. You can damage the render and the tiles next to them.
- Keep any tiles that have fallen off. They can sometimes be reused or used for matching.
- Take photos. Close-ups and a wide shot showing where the damage is.
- Keep the water balanced. Unbalanced water speeds up grout breakdown.
- Don’t drain the pool yourself. Draining at the wrong time can cause other problems. Let us advise first.
- Keep the pool barrier closed. It must stay compliant even when the pool isn’t being used. Read the NSW Government rules for pool owners.

When It’s More Than a Repair
Sometimes what looks like a few loose tiles is the first sign of a bigger problem. We’ll always tell you if that’s the case. Watch for:
- Hollow tiles spreading beyond the obvious damage when tapped
- Loose tiles in several different areas of the pool, not just one spot
- Repeated repairs in the same place over a few years
- Render coming away with the tiles
- A pool that’s 20 to 25 years old or more with its original tiles
If that’s what we find, we’ll explain your options, from a waterline replacement to a full retile. See our pool tiling service for full retiles.
Best Time of Year for Pool Tile Repairs
You can repair pool tiles any time of year, but timing helps.
- Autumn and winter. Quieter periods, and the pool isn’t in daily use. Ideal for repairs that need draining.
- Early spring. Book early to have the pool ready before swimming season.
- Summer. Urgent repairs still get done. Waterline repairs by lowering the water are often the quickest option mid-season.
Whatever the season, a loose tile left alone only gets worse.
What Will My Repair Cost?
It depends on how many tiles are affected, why they failed and whether the pool needs to be drained or just lowered. A few waterline tiles is a quick job. Drummy tiles across a wall is a bigger one.
Photos help us give you a faster, clearer answer, and we’ll confirm the price in writing after we’ve seen the pool. Read more in our pool tiling cost guide.
How to Choose a Pool Tile Repairer Near You
The closest repairer isn’t always the right one. Before you book, check:
- They’re licensed. Check any NSW licence free on the NSW Government licence check.
- They ask why the tiles failed. A repairer who just re-sticks tiles without checking the cause will be back.
- They use epoxy grout and immersion-rated adhesive.
- They tap-test the surrounding tiles. To see how far the problem goes.
- They give a written warranty on repairs.
- Their Google reviews mention pools.
