Pool regrouting and tile repair
Missing grout and loose mosaic tiles trap dirt, leave sharp edges and let water reach the render beneath. We drain the pool to regrout tilework, replace broken tiles and retile worn fibreglass bowls.

Standard and epoxy pool regrouting
We carry out underwater tile and grout repairs in a drained, dry pool.
We offer both standard pool grout and epoxy grout. You decide which option fits your property after we inspect the tile type and explain how each performs in tropical water.
- Standard pool grout for ceramic tiles and mosaics that need a tidy, practical refresh
- Epoxy grout for glass mosaic, heavily used hotel pools, waterlines and steps where stain and wash-out resistance matter most
- Draining, cleaning, refilling and start-up water balancing organised as part of the job
Spot tile repairs versus widespread delamination
Localised ceramic or mosaic damage may suit spot repairs. We inspect the walls, floor and steps to assess how far loose areas extend and whether replacement tiles can blend with the existing finish.
Widespread tile delamination can indicate a problem with the render or waterproofing. Inspection helps establish whether local repairs or surface renewal in tile or PebbleCrete is appropriate.
- Tap-testing across the drained floor, walls, steps and waterline
- Honest advice on whether spot repair is sensible or full resurfacing is needed
Retiling old fibreglass pools
An older fibreglass pool with a worn surface may be suitable for tiling. We assess the shell with our specialist partner and agree the scope for work in a drained pool.
Because the pool must be empty for any tile or grout work, we coordinate the shutdown around your bookings and agree the programme for the individual project.

Where we have done this
- Mai Khao Dream Villa Resort — After the old tiling came out, we re-tiled, grouted and laminated the resort pools.
- Private Residence, Bang Tao — failing mosaic replaced — Where the old mosaic had started to lose tiles, we chipped it off the walls and floor and laid a new finish.
- Private Villa, Laguna — French Grey — We tiled the pool in large-format tiles and finished the coping and steam room seating.

Questions we are asked
Can you regrout or fix loose tiles underwater without draining?
No, underwater adhesives and grouts do not form a reliable bond on wet, algae-coated substrates. We always drain and dry the pool so the repair holds properly.
Should we choose standard grout or epoxy grout?
Standard pool grout suits straightforward maintenance on ceramic tiles. Epoxy grout resists chemical erosion and staining much better, making it well suited to glass mosaic and busy hotel pools.
Why are tiles falling off in large patches?
Mass tile delamination usually means water has penetrated behind the bed or the waterproofing has failed. When we see that during an inspection, we recommend stripping the loose layer and renewing the surface.
