Replace loose tiles on the waterline of my pool that were falling off due to a crack wall behind them which was allowing water to seep through and dissolve the setting cement. I cleaned the wall, sealed the crack, set the tiles, and grouted.

Thank you for making this video. I now feel confident that I can replace the little 5 tiles that fell off my pool.

@movingman07 thanks for watching. Yes, I’m sure you can do it. Just clean the tiles up and test the ones next to it to see if they are loose.

What I’m trying to figure out is what do you do if don’t have all the tiles that fell off. Mine is an older pool like yours where there are very intricate pieces.

@handyhomerepairs 27 күн бұрын

I was missing a couple of the small tiles so I just filled those parts in with all grout but it’s only about 3/4” square. You can see it inside the skimmer. Otherwise maybe you can get something close and maybe a solid color and try to put it in an inconspicuous place like the skimmer walls if you can get those offer to switch

@fishrmn25 11 ай бұрын

I am considering this project myself, did you use the putty for larger gaps and the drylock for smaller cracks? Thank you for documenting this process!

@handyhomerepairs 11 ай бұрын

@fishrmn25 I used the drylok for all of the cracks. I had tried using hydraulic cement previously but it just cracked again so I used a seal that would have some movement instead this time

Still happy with the results of the Pool Patch Tile Grout Repair Kit?

@handyhomerepairs Жыл бұрын

@TheBoxFitter yes. I liked that the grout contain the glue to make it a little stronger and add some waterproofing. It was textured but still fine enough that I was easily able to work it into the narrow areas that were about 1/8”

@handyhomerepairs, excellent video. I have the same exact tiles. Unfortunately, i have lost some of the broken pieces. Do you know where I could get them?

@adnen.benali 8 ай бұрын

The residue of the products falling into pool water, that’s ok? Does it mess up water chemistry? Do you just let the pump take care of cleaning it through the drain? Also, I have large areas that fell off the pool line, maybe 30%, with cracks etc. I am thinking next year of removing all of it, and buying a new style of tiles. There’ll be dirt and residue I’m sure. Do u recommend I completely drain the pool? That’s what I’m thinking. And maybe repaint it while at it.

@handyhomerepairs 8 ай бұрын

@adnen.benali I spent too much time trying to catch any falling residue. When I was done I vacuumed as much as I could off the floor so I don’t think it had any impact to the water. Polaris robot picked up the rest. It is definitely more work trying to do it upside but cheaper than draining and paying for refill, but you can decide the benefits depending on how much effort you want to put into the job. If your pool color is looking older then you could combine the jobs and repaint or acid wash if it makes sense money and time wise.

@karaa3594 11 ай бұрын

do you have a video on sealing the crack?

@handyhomerepairs 11 ай бұрын

@karaa3594 I forgot to record it. It was a hairline crack so I used the Dremel tool with a carbide tip to widen it a little so the sealer could have a little more to hold on to. I then used the wire brush to make sure there wasn’t any loose material. I then used the material to seal the crack and left it over night to make sure it was completely cured.

What do you do if you have the plastic strip at top of tile? Do I just replace that space with grout? I would like to remove the plastic strip altogether

@handyhomerepairs 9 ай бұрын

@user-ou8zb4lr1e I have never seen that before. I searched around and it looks like it is called a tile strip. If this is the correct item you are talking about it appears to be embedded in the concrete and you can’t get it out

@debrafoster-brunst8582 3 ай бұрын

Does the grout patch that fell into the water adhere to the pool surface? How do you clean up particles which fell in ? I’m concerned about clogging the drain pipes and filter.

@handyhomerepairs 3 ай бұрын

@debrafoster-brunst8582 I did not have any filter issues. Unless you dropped really big pieces, it will mostly fall apart with all the water around it. I was opening my pool so I already had the vacuum out and used it to clean up. Then I ran the Polaris pool vac to clean everything else. I also did not have anything stuck to the wall and used the pool brush to push everything around and break it up a little before I vacuumed

My pool tile grout is not white. It is actually concrete/ cement like grout. Any product suggestion?

@handyhomerepairs 11 ай бұрын

@grxmrme it looks like EZ Patch and Pool Patch have colored grout. Neither look like they have the gray you may. Looking for if it’s just cement in the grout. It may be a thinset but probably not concrete. You could try mixing some of their colors together and see if you can get the color correct. Another option is epoxy-based grout. I have a video where I use Starlike EVO grout in my shower I remodeled . Epoxy grout should not be permeable. If you go with epoxy, you have to work quick because it usually starts setting up around 45 mins to 1 hour. You also have to do a good job cleaning the grout from the tiles since the epoxy sticks a little more than the cement base grout

@TheBlackDahlea 9 ай бұрын

How did you get the tile off without it breaking?

@handyhomerepairs 9 ай бұрын

@Elizabeth__Smith water was leaking through in a crack behind and dissolved the thinset mortar on the back of the tiles so they loose. Some had fallen off and others were loose enough to scrape off with a trowel. If they are held strong to the wall still, you probably don't need to remove them. You may just need to redo the grout to clean them up.

@BernardPhelan 2 ай бұрын

How do you keep the tiles flush and even as you piece it together so its a smooth surface?

@handyhomerepairs 2 ай бұрын

Use a level or other type of straight edge that is a long as workable in the space you are tiling. Check each row and across multiple tiles so you are not just making them level to the one next to it and end up making gradual mistakes. I have a couple videos on tiling in my playlists for the bathroom remodel that may help demonstrate. I tile the wall and the floor.

@BernardPhelan 2 ай бұрын

@@handyhomerepairs Thank you. Another question - there are large cracks along the wall surface where the thinset would go. What did you use to fill those in?

@handyhomerepairs 2 ай бұрын

It is in the video description but you can find at Home Depot or anywhere. It’s just drylok crack filler. The same company that makes the paint for sealing cinder blocks. My walls of pool had cracks (which is what caused the tiles to fall off) so I sealed the cracks.

@BayArreaMami Ай бұрын

I've tried everything and they continue to fall off after a long while

@handyhomerepairs Ай бұрын

You are using the tile set and not the grout product? If you are using the tile setting, when the tile falls off is the mortar still wet? If so, you are either mixing it a little too wet or the surface you are trying to stick to is too wet. Maybe water is leaking from the other side of the concrete?

How much would someone charge for that repair?

@handyhomerepairs 3 ай бұрын

Not really sure, but around me the contractors don’t want to do any work under $2,000 USD. It would be more than a 1 day job.

@luissonoma6255 3 ай бұрын

@@handyhomerepairs Well I just did 4 3”x3” for $60 for an old lady. 🤷🏿‍♂️ it took me 15 minutes so I would feel bad charging any more than that. They rest of the tiles need grout so that would be a separate price I guess if she wants to regrout the whole pool.

@handyhomerepairs 3 ай бұрын

Yes. If you can find a reliable handyman like yourself that will charge a fair rate by the hour then that is great. It’s the overhead of companies that have to support staff and the business. Most times they just farm it out to a subcontractor anyways and just take profit off the top so they overcharge
