Pool tiling · Silver Lake
An older concrete pool and spa taken from a failing painted interior to a two-tone tiled finish, with new spa seating and sandstone coping.
Tile is only as reliable as what is under it.

Painted pool to tiled pool
The original pool had a painted plaster interior with hollow and cracking render underneath. Waterline tile was starting to release, the old coping was cracking, and the whole thing had reached the point where patching was throwing money at it.
The failed material came off so the shell could be judged and prepared for a permanent submerged tile system. That meant repairing the interior, preparing and waterproofing, and dealing with the fittings before any tile.
On an older shell that means the render, the cracks, the fittings, waterproofing compatibility and immersion-rated adhesive — none of which is visible in the finished photographs.
A long-standing Westside project
This is one of the earlier sets in our archive. Fewer photographs than a recent job, but it records something worth recording: converting old painted concrete pools to tile is not a service we added last year.
Our own crews do the tiling rather than passing it to a subcontractor. On a job that involves hollow render, rust and fittings, that continuity is the difference between one person owning the result and three people each owning a quarter of it.
For anyone in Silver Lake weighing a tiled renovation: the surface is the visible quarter of it. What it costs and how long it lasts are decided by preparation, immersion-rated materials and set-out.

A two-tone tiled pool and spa on a shell that was made sound first, with the edge changes marked in a darker tile so you can read them from the water.

We restore concrete pools with the preparation, tiling and coping work a durable tiled finish actually needs.
