Pool being retiled with glass mosaic

Pool tiling and resurfacing.

Pool tiling Dubai that starts under the tile — stripping the old finish, re-tanking the shell and testing it before new mosaic goes anywhere near the water.

Tiles come off for a reason — find it first

Waterline tiles debond, mosaic sheets lift and plaster finishes stain. Sometimes it is age; often it is a waterproofing failure beneath, movement in the shell, or years of unbalanced water chemistry eating the grout.

We strip the old finish, inspect and repair the shell, re-tank and pressure test, then retile. Skipping straight to new mosaic over a compromised substrate gets you the same failure in two years, with the cost of draining and refilling paid twice.

What pool tiling covers

Full retiling and targeted repairs.

Strip-out and inspection

Removing the failed finish and assessing the shell, fittings and waterproofing beneath.

Structural repair

Crack repair and spalled concrete reinstatement before any finish is applied.

Re-waterproofing

Cementitious tanking to the shell with pressure testing before tiling.

Glass mosaic tiling

Full-pool mosaic in blends chosen for water colour and reflection.

Ceramic and porcelain

Larger-format pool-rated tiling where a plainer finish is wanted.

Waterline tiling

Replacing just the waterline band where the rest of the finish is sound — the most common targeted repair.

Quartz plaster finishes

Aggregate plaster resurfacing as an alternative to full tiling.

Coping replacement

Renewing cracked or slippery coping and detailing the junction to the deck.

Why pool finishes fail here

Water chemistry and sun do most of the damage.

Scale and hard water

Calcium builds along the waterline, degrades grout and eventually loosens tiles.

Water balance

Aggressive or unbalanced water attacks grout and plaster. Chemistry management is part of protecting a new finish.

UV on grout and sealants

Sun degrades everything above the waterline faster than below it.

Thermal movement

Big day-night swings stress the shell and coping joints, opening paths for water behind the finish.

How the work runs

01

Inspection

Pool assessed drained or partly drained to establish the cause of failure.

02

Quotation

Strip-out, repair, tanking and finish priced as one scope.

03

Strip-out and repair

Old finish removed, shell repaired.

04

Tanking and testing

Waterproofing applied, cured and tested.

05

Tiling and refill

New finish laid, grouted, then fill, balance and handover.

Only the waterline band failing? That is often a targeted repair rather than a full retile.
