The tool that I have designed to give anyone the ability to tile without having any knowledge or skill in tiling. It can be expanded to suit whatever tile that you are working with and the system that I have developed for working with the Super Spreader will give you a professional finish that you will be proud of.

The way you work is a case study in economy of movement. Every action has a purpose and there is no wasted effort.
Working many years in the same trade and you turn into an efficiency guru. Small tweaks in the way you move add up and can really mean the difference of getting your knees replaced at age 40 or never. Its fascinating to watch and go through the process of learning and realization yourself.
I've never seen a pool made of all tile like this very beautiful job!
Amazing man. Truly gifted. I’m much younger and physically unable to do what he can.
As an old mud set tile setter I can only say WOW! I saw you dump that thinset out and thought "what the heck?" then you screeded with your ultraspreader and I said "shut the front door!" The cutting the tile was really clever way of going about things...a small makita demo hammer would have made the cut tile removal easier...Kudo's to you ...thanks for sharing!
This is so helpful! Man I never thought to cut the wall I work on interior tile and once was asked to finish a paper face glass jacuzzi because the main tiler was busy on another job now I know next opportunity I get I'm doing it this way! I'm doing it right!
You are an absolute hero of mine! This is pure art! I'm actively searching for a pool to install full glass. I watch your video daily and see something new every time!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece!

"glue"...love it. This at least his second rodeo. Great job.
You are real master! Thanks for education!
Your videos are magical.
Nice work in Croatia we lay smaller mosaic tiles mostly 2,5x2,5 cm (1“x1“). Because of that cutting the tiles requires a lot more precision and is more time consuming. But with the right tools you can get the job done.
Great job Roy
Absolutely amazing and easy

You are amazing
เป็นตัวอย่างที่ดีมากๆครับ ขอบคุณครับ.
Hello Roy,
Hope all is well! Just wanted to ask you if you would be able to make a video of how to set a 6”x35x1/2” wood plank style of a porcelain rectified tile on a concrete 14’x24’ slab that is not perfectly level. Hopefully by using the super spreader.
Thanks,
I very much enjoy watching your videos.
PARABÉNS tio
Estamos juntos 🇧🇷
Nice
Hi Roy, I love your video, can you tile onto a galvanised steel sided pool (the bottom is concrete)?
can I use tiles in a salt water pool and can you show us a recent picture of the pool before & after
Hello Roy, you do nice work. Is there any reason you cant use large tiles on the floor and walls and small tiles at pool bottom edges ???????
Super my tiles work
Just wondering if you did waterproofing prior to tiling?
If I build a pool exactly like a block basement, rebar/grout in every block core, plaster the block walls with mortar, pour the base of the pool then tile the entire pool will it hold water?
bravo
Great professional job, but what happened with watterproof treatment when you re cutting with diamon blade? thx for your usefull professional advices sir!
There is no waterproofing
@@MrJFoster1984 the plaster underlayment and waterproof mortar he uses are the waterproofing. No rubberized compound needed like in a bathroom.
How did you tile the sides w/o the tiles falling off?
That poor guy and his back. Seems like an awesome guy. Probably makes bank tho
Great video. This appears to be a new build. What if I am renovating an old pool with an existing pebble mix base. Should I grind it back to concrete or tile over the existing pebble mix?
If it’s sound the tile straight over it. Watch this video
czcams.com/video/kXHE8lMnsM0/video.html
Wondering why you’re not using a rubberized roll on membrane to make the concrete watertight. I understand tile alone can’t do this. Have you ever used watertight membrane?
These are glass tiles.
What didbyou put to stick with floor.
Cement and sand.. And what else chemical you put inside.
And 2nd i want to ask you how long warranty for these tiles
Please reply.
And thanks very
Dear sir, why the part or the wall and the bottom intersect, you don't glue a whole plate to avoid cutting and you will have a good alignment
I keep hearing not to use mesh backed tiles. You think they are ok?
I'm beyond blow away and I specialize in tile!!!
What the hell are you talking about
الله يعطيك الصحة والعافية يا حج
خالد عمري شكرا جزيلا
hello roy I work doing pools congratulations is interesting what it does I would like to join your team
How much did you end up charging for a job like that
I believe your website may need some tending. There seems to be a couple of bugs and the source code is displaying instead of what was intended. Awesome video by the way. This is encouraging me to do the same thing to my pool.
Hi saw your video on tiling pool using the ultraspreader. Interested however I was wondering did you have to remove the existing plaster. If not what adhesive did you use to tile on top of the existing plaster.
No we’re lucky in South Australia that we don’t have to plaster the walls but sometimes I will give the walls a thin coat of adhesive to fill any nasty holes. The adhesive I use on the walls is Kemgrip Super and Quickbond on the floor
What waterproofs the pool? The grout?
You are amazing!
Can I hire you ?
You used ceramic or porcelain tiles ?
Pool tile are porcelain.
Where can I get pool tile in the U.S. for a reasonable price. It is around $18 per square ft min.
Good luck
I an love father, that God to bless 🇵🇪👍👍👍🙏👏👏💪💪💪👋👋👋💓
Do u need to add a membrane on the cement before tiling? Is it okay if small bits of old paint are still in the pits of the wall? We scrapped and used orange peel to remove as much paint as possible. Thank you.
as long as the paint shows no sign of flaking you will be ok
@@roysouthby1 Thank you so much. Putting a membrane can be expensive. Thank you for solving a headache.
Roy amazing would you be interested in doing a 5m x 7m kidney shape pool more challenging for video.
Hi Sasha I started tiling swimming pools in 1972 and most pools were called freeform with a lot being kidney shaped. The major difference there is that you first cut the walls so that there is a nice even line and then lay the bulk floor as I just did in the video and then you have to cut the floor into the walls. It’s not hard just takes more time
What a talented man. I wish he could tile my pool.
Ultraspreader… should be the name of a movie a from 2020
How far up the curve do you finish the floor tile? One third way up?
Yes that’s about right
I Wanna See You Grout That Pool.
Where can you get these tiles?
What tiles were used
Can you help me renovate my pool please in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺🙏
whats the best mortar for tiles on pools
I prefer Kemgrip Super but most people are using Mapai Ultralight S2
Dear Roy: I am retire at this COVID19 time. I want to redo my swimming pool. Before put tile, how to prepare the surface of pool? My pool has a lot small bubble and if you scrap it, it will fall off. Do I need redo the whole surface with Gunite or just patch up? Also will your method work on glass mosaic tile? Thanks Peter
Hi Peter once you’ve emptied the pool go over the entire surface to find any drummy spots. These have to be removed and repaired using an acrylic bonding agent and a sand and cement mortar mix
The Ultraspreader is only good for the floor so you will have to use a small notched trowel on the walls
Sir leakg huha to kya kare
Roy, Did you use the superspreader for the walls of the swimming pool.
No I only tiled the floor and only up to the coves
@@roysouthby1 hey Roy, can I tile a pool with existing plaster or does it need to be sandblasted? Thank you!
Antonio Estrada the marblesheen has to be sound. Anything drummy has to be removed and repaired before tiling
@@roysouthby1 thank you much Roy!
How big is that pool?
Where can I get that tool you use to spread the thin set
diytilingtools.com
In know I'm 5 years late to this video, but I have a question for anyone who may want to respond.
Is it more or less expensive to do a tile pool then to have a pool replastered ?
I'm currently looking into having my pool redone. Its an ingrown pool currently plastered I'm considering having it done in tile instead of plaster. Nothing fancy, just ceramic or porcelain mosaic.
I understand it last a lot longer than plaster and easier maintenance.
Thanks for anyone who may reply, I've got 2-3 months of pool season left before getting serious about redoing the pool.
Where can I purchase that little metal box spreader?
Go to my website diytilingtools.com and buy there
Hallo wo hast du dieses Gerät für den kläber gekauft ?
Gehen Sie einfach auf meine Website diytilingtools.com
Roy, is that fibre glass?
No it’s concrete. You can’t tile on fibre glass unfortunately, there is too much movement
I found this interesting, because I tiled my pool after finding it impossible to keep the plaster looking good. I had to make it up as I went along, so generally laid the straight bits (fast, even with a normal trowel), but for the angled bits, I offered up a sheet, marked, and then cut it. It was much more time consuming than as above. However, the most time-consuming were the four corners, which I dealt with as above (although indistinct ate the deep end), but which were more graduated in slope, and the angle at the external edges of the Roman end, with narrowing tesserae. What's more, the pool wasn't wholly symmetrical, as formed by gunite and then plastered in cement and marble, which was then ground smooth.
However, the tiles were variegated (white, pale, blue, darker blue, with very dark blue in lines), so less-than-perfect workmanship don't show up.
It was very hot work, when the sun shone (UK!), so I had to rig a sun sail sometimes, and pump out the water from the sump when it rained at other times, also, insects liked to embed themselves when grouting.
However, I've been extremely pleased with the result with many years comparatively trouble-free, following years of anguish over the plaster. In sunlight, it looks wonderful with the light refraction, and it night, it looks wonderful when floodlit.
Hi that's amazing! I live in UK too. Have a kidney shaped gunite pool and the stones/guntie are coming away from the walls so it's in need of a refresh. Did you use any primers prior to adhesive? Looking like tiling the pool is going to be the best possible option. But don't fancy paying out for someone to do it. Have experience tiling bathrooms and the like, but nothing with curved sides lol. Did you have any tiling experience before doing yours? Any tips would be helpful thanks :)
@@MC-eq3pm My first comment is that I don't understand how stones/gunite are coming away from the walls, so there may be a difference in construction, or perhaps quality; I did not know, but apparently some gunite pools aren't done well (I've just read that, anyway). However, mine was, although I don't think they did the final top edge as well as they should, because I had to repair it. (It tends to take a beating from winter weather, and I once had ice ~4" thick, although I'm now careful to keep the water level lowered in winter. On occasion, it has overflowed.)
With my pool, they carefully dug the hole with a back-hoe, fixed rebar in place, then brought a lorry from which the concrete was pumped through a long hose so as to create a concrete shell about 2" thick. I was told it is extremely strong, and I believe them. They then rendered it with white crushed marble and white cement, finally grinding it smooth. Within about 2-3 years, it was looking dingy. One can empty the pool and regrind it clean and smooth, but do that a few times, and one'll reach the concrete. I tried this a little, and a few other things, which were worse than useless, so resolved on tiles.
I used Mapei waterproof tile adhesive, which is widely available, directly onto the render, which was extremely sound, one might almost say ideal. It was only unsatisfactory through discolouration. I should think primer worse than nothing.
I bought the 1' by 1' sheets of mosaics from internet website. They're made in Iran. The supplier gave a good price, but when I checked quite recently, I found the same tiles cheaper from someone else.
Although mostly variegated, I have some dark blue lines, and a pattern around the frost line, making up sheets using purpose-made mesh (from craft shops) and a jig. I wish I had had the time to incorporate a mosaic in the bottom, like a Roman dolphin, but I didn't want to spend the time.
predominantly
The pool is 32' x 16' with a 5' radius Roman end, and the cost (many years ago) was about £1,000, and perhaps 3 times that now (guess). I think any professional tiler would have charged many many £'000s to do it.
I spent another £1,000 on new coping stones. I didn't think I could lay them well, and was going to pay someone to do it, but the cost made me do it myslef, and it worked, although I can see one place which a pro would have done better (the bedding too thick, where exact level was needed).
I often wonder that I had the foolhardiness to think I could do it, as I admire the appearance, and ease of cleaning.
Currently tiling a kidney shaped pool at the minute. I’m just wondering did you put any expansion joints in the interior of the pool and also did you use epoxy grout or cement based thanks
@@user-nf6fp8ns8t I used no expansion joints on tiling, and have seen no adverse result after many years.
The grout was cementitious, and swimming pools was included in its list of suitable uses.
thats awesome! how long did it take you to do?
how much is the cost all that? im about to doit by my selft
Go to my website diytilingtools.com it costs 28 Australian dollars
2 things. 1.great, comfortable shoes. I have some just like it.. 2. My back would be killing me with all that bending, great looking pool though.
4x4 cm ??
Is a tiling tool available for purchase?
there is an adress in the discription.
Tschombes Yes. I already ordered it. Thanks
