Pool Tile Replacement in Highland Park
Waterline retile, full retile, and exact-match tile work for Highland Park and University Park pools. Glass mosaic, natural stone, and custom patterns.
If you are looking at the waterline of a Highland Park pool, it is usually one of a few things: tile that has cracked or popped loose, grout that has washed out and gone porous, a hard calcium line that brushing will not remove, or a pool that was retiled years ago and now looks dated. On a lot of Park Cities pools the tile has been redone once already, so the real job is matching the new work to the existing design without leaving a visible seam. That is exactly the tile work we do.
We have retiled pools across Dallas for 20 years, and the Park Cities is where the match has to be exact. There is no margin for off-color grout lines or a patch you can pick out from the deck. Many of these projects run through a designer or landscape architect, and we work from their specs, bring our own read on what holds up in the climate, and plan the tile before the pool is ever drained. Matching original 1950s tile, sourcing imported glass mosaic, designing a custom waterline band, we sort all of it up front.
The work itself is straightforward when the prep is right. We drain the pool, strip the failed tile and old grout off the bond beam, cut back to a sound surface, and set fresh tile dead level along the water to NTCA standards. Glass mosaic is the most requested look here, often iridescent or hand-blended so it catches light and gives the water depth. Natural stone keeps the line consistent on pools with stone decks. Porcelain stretches the budget. We bring samples to the house and lay them against your plaster and deck in real daylight. A waterline retile baseline runs about $15 to $30 per linear foot, with premium glass and stone landing higher; a full retile runs more. Plan on 3 to 5 days for waterline work, 1 to 2 weeks for a full pool.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A waterline retile baseline runs about $15 to $30 per linear foot, which puts most pools in a few thousand dollars. Premium glass mosaic, imported tile, and natural stone run higher, and a full retile costs more than the waterline alone. We measure on site and give you a fixed price.
Usually, yes. We source matching or close-matching tile and stone from a wide supplier network. If your tile is discontinued, we show you the nearest options before ordering so you can decide whether to blend the new section or redo the full waterline so it all reads the same.
Regularly. Most Park Cities projects involve a designer or landscape architect, and we work from their specs while flagging anything that will not hold up in Dallas heat and freeze cycles.
A waterline retile is usually 3 to 5 days on site plus dry time before refilling. A full retile runs 1 to 2 weeks depending on pool size and detail. We never rush the prep, since that is where most tile failures start.
