How to remove, install and Grout Waterline and Accent tile in a pool. This video shows demolition, preparation installation and grouting of the tile. The accents will not be grouted, because the diamond brite will be the filler.

Why not cut along the bottom edge of the tile to avoid the damage to the pool wall?

@TomLeeman 2 жыл бұрын

Where replastering the whole pool but probably that would’ve been a better idea thanks for the tips and thanks for watching

How would you make that cut? Angle grinder and thin blade?

angle grinder and a diamond blade

When the plaster guys come in, they will cut a straight line about 4 inches below the tile line and chip it to the concrete to be able to tie in the new finish flush to the new tile.

What those teeth on the trowel are actually for is to ensure you have the proper amount of thin set on the wall prior to laying the tile. I enjoyed this video. The job turned out beautiful. I love the concrete work you had done and the tile color you chose. If you don’t mind can you post what color/brand you went with for the tiles

Tom, your videos are great. I am curious given the fact that there have been some criticisms about technique and materials used by your team as to how your pool is holding up. Does it still look this good? Are your tiles still intact?

@TomLeeman 2 ай бұрын

Pool still looks great, but on the bottom, you can feel like a little bumps and they did seal my light in so I could not change the bulb which I was a little freaked out about. I tried to get them to come back and fix the things that were screwed up, but they blew me off.

Can you do this to a pool that is filled with water? Can we still change the upper boarder to something more modern

@TomLeeman Жыл бұрын

I think you can put tile over tile. You would have to drain the pool down low enough to change your waterline tile.

It’s been a while since I purchased this. It was an aqua green glass tile and I think I paid about $1500 but I can’t remember the name sorry

We grind the excess grout down, which makes it easier to set the new tile

is it possible to do without emptying the pool? upside down? using battery tools to avoid electric accdient? any suction cups that can hold tarp to collect the debrees?

@TomLeeman 3 ай бұрын

I guess if you pulled the water down underneath it, you might be able to do it if you’re just laying the tile over the old tile, but I don’t know if that’s a smart way to do it. Thanks for watching.

We resurface the whole pool. We tore out all of the bubbles and bad spots and put the tile up first and then put on the diamond right after I have a video on that also thanks for watching.

Hello. Thank you for sharing this. I just had my pool finished 3 weeks ago (brand new pool) but I absolutely hate my waterline tile. My pool builder did NOT tell us that our waterline tile could range from 0-100 in color variations so now we are stuck with literally white tiles, cream tiles, and brown tiles around our pool. It literally looks AWFUL. Is it possible to replace the tiles without needing needing plaster at all since we just had plaster done (we have StoneScapes)? Any suggestions?

@TomLeeman 2 жыл бұрын

You can lay tile over tile but then you’ll have a little edge on the bottom it’s better to do it when they re-plaster the pool good luck thanks for watching

@dutchvanderlin5556 Жыл бұрын

Don't listen to this hack. First of all, they didn't waterproof the beam before they laid the glass tile which is negligent, and that tile will be popping off soon for sure. Second, he isn't using the correct thinset, he is using the $15-a-bag home depot special thinset that is not made for glass tile. Third and most importantly, YOU CANNOT TILE OVER TILE!!!!! Jesus Christ they'll let any idiot make a how-to video. Yes, you can replace the tile without having to replaster but you will have a grout line between the plaster and the tile which will not look normal and if the mason doesn't have a sturdy hand the bottom grout joint will look horrible. My advice would be not to rush a build, all tile will have color variation and so will coping. The only way to ensure the colors are closer to matching is to literally buy way more tile than you need so you can hand pick them and no you can't return the unused open boxes. Good luck.

Agree with Dutch. The Custom-brand Versabond from Home Depot is a general purpose mortar that is not rated by the manufacturer for submerged use. He also mixed it with water and not the polymer admix as prescribed by the manufacturer for submerged. As Dutch said he did not apply a waterproof membrane like RedGard under the thinset, as prescribed by Custom. And he did not use a thinset rated for glass tile. It looks good when done but will not hold up to time when not following manufacturer’s instructions.

I was told to use 254 Platinum as your thin set or mortor

@laverneeisenhart599 Ай бұрын

254 platinum is good brand, very tacy and hard to get off your hands and clothes. But I would not use that rubber water sealer behind the tile, because it does peel off when it gets water behind it

All the research I’ve seen said you “should” remove the old thinset before leveling out a new mortar bed then applying new thinset and the new tile.

What kind of cement is he using? And how much of it do you need vs water to mix the concrete and the thin set?

It’s a thin set and he just poured water in and mixed it until you got the right consistency thickness I’m not sure exactly what the ratio is but I do believe in the package it gives you some direction when you buy it thanks for watching

You asked if it will damage the tiles when they take off the other coat of the base. Why don’t they do it in the opposite order? Do the base coat first and then the finishing tiles? Just like my house……
