Plaster to a fully tiled interior

An older concrete pool converted to a fully tiled interior. One of the earlier jobs in our record, kept here because the method has not changed.

Long-standing experience, shown through the work itself.

Historic Pool Care LA work

Re-tiling an existing concrete pool

Retiling an existing pool is entirely possible, and on an older concrete shell it usually beats another round of plaster — which in water this hard means going through the same job again in eight to twelve years.

This one was finished around 2011. The original had a plaster interior, a waterline band, tiled steps and brick paving. The renovation converted the interior to full tile and dealt with the surrounds at the same time.

It stays in the gallery because the photographs are old and the method is not. Preparation, set-out and finishing are the same today.

The photographs are old. The method is not.

Burbank & the Foothills

Pool tiling for established Foothills homes

As plaster, painted render and early pebble reach the end, the choice is another consumable surface or a permanent one.

Burbank has a lot of older homes with pools originally finished in plaster, painted render or early pebble.

Our work covers fully tiled interiors, steps, waterline bands, preparation, repairs and the detail work that brings an older pool back into step with the house around it.

If you are looking for pool tilers in the east Valley, this is one of the earlier records that the work has been part of what we do for a long time, not something added to a service list recently.

My pool heater stopped working in October when the water was just getting to cold to use without it. Called Pool Care LA and they came out within a couple of days, the technician diagnosed the problem, a faulty igniter and a gas valve issue and explained everything clearly before starting any work. They had the parts and got it fixed in one visit. What I really appreciated was that they gave me options and explained what each repair would cost before doing anything. No surprise charges the heater has been running perfectly since then. If your dealing with a heater issue dont wait on it, call these guys.Read in full

House is off Magnolia, near the 5. Pool is from 1982 and the plaster had never been touched. Got to the point were the rough spots were actually scratching my kids feet when they pushed off the wall. Called Pool Care LA, they came out, assessed it, gave me a fair quote and got it on the schedule. Replastering went smooth and they explained the curing process so there were no surprises. Feels like a completely different pool now and the chemistry has been way more stable to. Should of done it three years ago honestly.Read in full

Came home from a two-week vacation and our pool was basically green. The previous company told us we needed to drain it, which sounded crazy. Pool Care LA came out, tested everything, explained what was happening and started the cleanup. Took a little time but now the water looks better than it has in years.Read in full

We had another pool company for almost five years and slowly the service got worse. They would say they came but the pool was always dirty. Jake from Pool Care LA has been completely different. He actually checks the equipment and lets us know if something needs attention.Read in full

Our pump stopped working on a Friday afternoon and we were worried because we had family coming over that weekend. Robert came out, found the problem and got everything running again. Honest guy, and he explained everything before doing the repair.Read in full

I don't usually leave reviews but these guys deserve it. My pool was a mess and I was tired of trying to fix the chemicals myself. They came out and took care of everything. Water is clear now and I don't have to worry anymore.Read in full

Bought a house in Beverly Hills with an older pool and honestly had no idea how to maintain it. The equipment was old and everything was confusing. They walked me through what needed to be done first and what could wait. No pressure. That was appreciated.Read in full

What this Burbank retiling shows

Can an existing plaster pool be retiled?

Yes. Retiling an existing pool is entirely possible, and on an older concrete shell it usually beats another round of plaster — which in water this hard means going through the same job again in eight to twelve years.

Why keep photographs from 2011 in the gallery?

Because the photographs are old and the method is not. Preparation, set-out and finishing are the same today, which is the whole reason this job is still in the record.

Do the surrounds have to be done at the same time?

On this pool they were. The original had a plaster interior, a waterline band, tiled steps and brick paving, and the renovation dealt with the interior and the surrounds together rather than opening the edge twice.
