loose pool tile

Right now, we’re going to show you how to remove and replace loose tile from the edge of your pool deck. As you can see, we are removing the excess thinset that was left from the last layer used to pack in the tile by getting rid of it with a screwdriver and water. Next get your tile and put a lot of thinset on the back so that when you push it down the thinset will push out from the edge of the border of the tile.

As you can see, the thinset is pushing out from the tile and it acts as its own sealant locking in the thinset. You’re going to want to wipe it off with water but make sure none of it falls into the pool, as this thing can cause damage to your drain.

Now as you can see, we’re wiping it off with a wet sponge to make sure it’s clean and packed in. We’re going to be doing the same thing with the top tile, putting a lot of grout slash thinset on the back and packing it in nicely with a screwdriver. Once again, we get water and a wet sponge and we wipe down the surface making sure to pack it in with the tiles. Finally, we’re just going to wipe it down fully with the wet sponge one last time to make sure that it’s all clean. As you can see this amazing job was done by Platinum Pavers.
