From painted to fully tiled
An aging painted concrete pool and spa, converted to a pale blue ceramic interior with a deeper blue band inside the spa and sandstone carried down into the water.
Tile was chosen for the reason most people choose it: it does not need doing again in eight years.
Before and after
The whole job in one frame
The stripped shell and the finished interior, from the same corner of the yard.
Before the renovation
The painted pool, and the shell under it
Stripped back as far as the paint would come, then rendered flat before anything was laid.

Why the owner chose tile
The pool dated from the early eighties and had been painted more than once. The owner wanted it usable again for grandchildren, and after looking at the options chose a fully tiled interior.
It was a large job with a lot of detail — the spa was enlarged as part of it, which meant structural work before any finish went on.
After renovation
The finished pool and enlarged spa
A pale blue ceramic through the interior, with a deeper blue band along the top row inside the spa.
From painted to fully tiled
Retiling a pool and spa in Eagle Rock
Converting an old painted pool into a tiled one is far more than swapping the surface.
The failing paint was stripped back as far as it would come, loose waterline tile was removed, and the walls were rendered flat before anything was laid.
A fern had rooted between the steps and the shell — small, and a direct route for water into the structure, so it was cut out and the area repaired.
Carrying sandstone below the waterline needed extra work. Natural stone is porous, so it was sealed several times and bedded with a high-strength adhesive rated for permanent immersion.
Ordinary paving sandstone would absorb water, stain and eventually spall. It is a different product and a different price.

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 fullCollapse

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 fullCollapse

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 fullCollapse

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 fullCollapse

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 fullCollapse

We thought we needed a completely new pool system. Turns out it was just a few issues with the pump and filter. They saved us a lot of money by fixing what actually needed fixing.

We have two kids and keeping the pool safe is important for us. Since switching to Pool Care LA the water has been consistently clean and balanced. It is nice knowing someone is actually paying attention every week.Read in fullCollapse
