Swimming pool tiling & refurbishment

A pool is the harshest environment in tiling: permanent immersion, chemical water, thermal cycling. We're one of the few NZ installers who work to written specifications that meet manufacturer warranty requirements in exactly these conditions.

Pool tiling is where system knowledge stops being a nice-to-have. Submerged glass mosaics, waterline bands, coping and surrounds all sit in constant contact with treated water, and every product in the build-up — render, waterproofing, adhesive, grout — has to be rated for it and installed in the right sequence with the right cure times. We've developed site-specific pool specifications written to meet manufacturer warranty requirements for exactly these conditions — and where the specification qualifies, a tiled pool surface can carry a warranty of up to 20 years. We install to that same standard on every pool.

We take on full refurbishments of older concrete pools — strip, re-render, waterproof, retile — as well as tiling packages on new pool builds, waterline tile replacement, and repair of drummy or delaminated areas before they spread.

One pool, three stages

How a pool should be built. This one, start to finish.

Swimming pool shell rendered and prepared for immersion service

01 · Prepare

The shell is rendered and corrected for immersion service — geometry, falls and detail formed before anything else happens.

02 · Waterproof

An immersion-rated membrane system goes on with full documented cure — the step a schedule can never be allowed to compress.

03 · Tile

Glass mosaic set in pool-rated adhesive and epoxy grout — the finish that lasts because of everything underneath it.
