- Join lovable professional tiler Roy Southby from roytiles.com as he takes you through how to re-tile and renovate your concrete swimming pool, and give your pool water an inviting new look.
How much does it cost to renovate or re-tile you concrete pool? Well the cost can be affordable if you do it yourself with the help of Roy Southby as your DIY pool tiling teacher. You could even tile your new pool as part of your pool installation.
Roy starts with the preparation of the pool surface, and a detailed run through of the tiling tools including the time-saving UltraSpreader, notched trowel, and tiling supplies needed for the completion of your project.
The tile installation is started by marking the wall of the pool at the water line, and using blue mosaic ceramic tiles, or you could choose the color of tile to suit your interior design choice.
Detailed techniques are explained in Roy's entertaining manner on how to remove pool lights, pool return 'eyeballs', as well as easy to follow methods for measuring and cutting tiles for pool steps.
When it comes to the floor, Roy uses his own UltraSpreader, available to purchase from roytiles.com/collections/tili..., shipping worldwide. This tool is a real time saver and allows the floor tiles to be laid in quick time. It allows the professional tiler to save time and money by completing the job quick time, and the DIY tiler to get a more professional job.
Some of the tile cutting processes are for experienced contractors and care should be taken by inexperienced people trying DIY tiling.

I have a job coming up soon, and this video has been invaluable in helping me understand how to do it better, thanks for uploading it 👍🏻
What a pro. Beautiful result that comes from years of experience
Thanks so much Roy! Perfect timing for us to reno our pool with the tools and techniques you've explained and demonstrated.
Enjoyed that Roy. You may have saved me bundles of money with your tutorial. Reckon taking your time is the key at first. Thank you 👍👍
I salute you sir. Much respect for you. I'm a pool contractor from the Philippines.
Roy;
Colossal work in explaining. Brilliant performance. Thank you!
Such beautiful craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing.
found your channel today, and i wanted to say thank you for taking some of the anxiety away from the thought of doing this work myself. appreciate it!
Great craftsmanship was a pleasure and great experience to watch a true profecional completing a pool, Congratulations Roy
pleasure watching you Roy, great experience and great advise with not a spot of glue on you. had to show you to my mates that it was possible!
Thank you Troy for sharing such a rich Knowledge
I like this guy!!!
Thanks Herb, I love your channel, it brought back heaps of childhood memories ( I subscribed)
AMAZING JOB!!! Thanks for your time and into 👍🏻
Fantastic job Roy. You are very relaxing to watch. (Bruce Forsyths young brother.) I'm a british guy here woking on pools in florida where all they use is stucco, for the finish. After nine ytears, finally somebody has asked me to tile a pool, but it is a kidney shaped freeform gunite pool. This video is helping me to decide if its even possible. Im guessing there will be a lot of splicing.
Where in Florida
Thank you Roy! You ARE amazing!
Beautiful work! Makes it look easy.
Outstanding! Best ways are the most simple highlighting technique and experience.
AMAZING JOB!!! Thanks for your time
I'm a renderer with the same D13 Hitachi drill I've been using for 20+ years. It looks exact same as yours, down to the worn out mixing bit. Fantastic drill. Few new brushes and 5-6 new leads from the labourers breaking it from getting it wrapped around the mixing bit is all its needed.
Fantastic instruction, no substitute for patient quality tradesman
Actually really enjoyed this video. Thanks Roy
Roy you absolute star 🤩🤩🤩
Very greatful for doing this... you are a legend!
Nicely done Roy...respect frm algeria.
Fantastic work and loved the video Roy! All the best from a pool guy in Australia :)
Beautiful work!

Im an ametuer tiler I do a few of my own projects you make it look easy Roy but it takes alot of patience and practice and a few tiles being smashed out and redone hahaha , i have got a few tips from your videos so thankyou very much
Thank you for sharing Sir.
Nice work!
superb Thanks Roy
Mashallah, you are an artist, may God protect you. I hope to be with you and learn from you
Excellent job 👏
saludos maestro Roy desde México
You are amazing!!!
Thank you
GR8 video, Pool are an insane amount of work. I had my concrete freeform pool sandblasted then sealed and epoxied my own 20 yrs. ago. Now I'm looking to Pebbletec or similar versus a plaster finish. Tile will last the longest but I doubt I will go there.
Haha this guy is hilarious. Thank you for the video.
Amazing work Roy. Can you retile over a fully tiled pool? How do you deal with air bubblers pipes in spas, and secondly the existing spa/therapy jets (as there is no insert like there is in pool returns)
You are a legend. Watched your videos of pool renovations multiple times. I just wanted to get your advice. I have Quartzon pool. Some supply specialists have indicated I need to chip out all the Quartzon, render again, moisture barrier and waterproof prior to tiling. If as in this video I just fix the dummy spots and adress any cracks is it a suitable finish to tile over the top (deals with hydrostatic pressures okay?).
Amazing
you are insane !!
I envy u , man. What a great back u got.
Excellent video, thanks a million! I have a pool with a similar sand/quartz finish as this one and was looking at tiling it with mosaic tiles, so this was enormously helpful! Happily the pool is rectangular so should involve less cutting.
When I get around to doing it I'll be sure to order your special spreader!!
Thanks again!
😅p😢😊
I worked for Evans/Radford pool pool plastering in san diego . We were the origanle company who first started using jack hammers and striping the plaster all completely off to ensure the best bond possible!! And they were right they removed EVERY SPEC OF WHITE FROM THE GUNITE recently 2as at a house where I bricked a d tiled a pool tbeen Evans/ Radford plastered it over 35 years ago a t it looks new still ot a loose brick tile Ora single thing g ever needed fixing !!!it was maintained by someone who knew how to properly take care of it and that helps
Love your comprehensive videos, easy to follow. My question is concerning cement repairs. I have small sections that need some attention and don't know exactly what type of cement to put. And I have thousands of small indentations (smaller than a dime no thicker than 1/8 inch deep. I am painting over everything. What do I use to fill the indentations? Thank you!
Thank you for your very instructive video, you are a true craftsman. My only wish is to see how it was grouted.
Hello, good morning from Perú, I an love father, you love 🇵🇪🌎💘👍💪👋🖐️🙏
Obviously, hands of steel and a titanium back on this guy.
great work i have never seen a pool completely tiled before looks amazing. i would like to see the pool with the water in it. you would add same chemicals as usual.
Looks good. My pool walls are porcelain and floor is concrete. Will tile adhere to walls? also what glue and grout is needed?
Hello, Great video. I’ve got a 40+ yr concrete/plaster pool under renovation. The plaster is in really bad shape and I’m removing it all with hammer jack with flat chisel so it’s just taking the plaster off. Also taking off all waterline tile. How do I prep the slightly rough concrete for tile? Also it seems easier to use the 2 inch tiles when splicing/cutting is required. Mine is rectangular 2 ft shallow to 7 ft deep, and roughly 14ft wide x 38ft long with only 1 step. I’d really like to tile it myself but concerned about the concrete base prep work. Thanks for any feedback/suggestions. So you used skimmer for initial vertical run. Did you just take perpendicular of skimmer vertical line for floor chalk line? How did you determine floor centerline or does it really matter as long as it is close?
Roy when your tiling over tiles do you need to bond the tiles or score them 🤔
Hi Roy, is the super spreader ok to use on the 300 x 300 mosaic tiles to do my pool, I purchased on of you but since noticed you were using the ultra on your floor, thanks in advance
Great video. Can you tell me if I can install glass tiles over the diamondbrite pool? If so what would you recommend? Thanks in advance.
I wish you can help me with my pool. You are excellent.
Great video Roy. Thank you. Could you recommend a supplier of tiles?
Great video! Question, while the tile will last "for my life time", what about the grout? Don't i have to regrout every 5 to 10 years? Does that mean i have to go line by grout line, taking it off to apply new grout?
Well, thank you. I would like to have the descriptions of your tools, please thanks
Amazing skills and workmanship Sir., But, - How on earth do you manage to do this strenuous work without dislocating 5 disks? How's your lower-back coping? Its a genuine question & I am probably half your age.
Such a great video. Thank you. Quick question please. In your experience, If tiling over pebble creek surfaces, do you need to apply a primer and a waterproof coating before tiling? Many thanks
I'm about to do mine. Some people say just tile over it. Like here. Others says prime and waterproof 3 coats.
Hello, Mr. Roy. Do you need to add HYDRO BAN Cementitious Waterproofing before adding the cement? I am trying to do my own pool, thank you.
Great video where can I find this tile stile thanks
How long did those tiles last? Are they still secure after a few freeze-thaw cycles?
You’re an inspiration Sir! I do have a question, is there no need for grout of any kind? I’ve laid tons of tile before becoming a fireman. Never in a pool though! Sorry for the dumb question.
I’m sorry but the section on grouting was left out. I don’t know why but yes it has to be grouted
@@roysouthby1 could you give me a idea how much something like this would cost it’s so nice great job Sir
I would like to use glass tile, I am in California and will use a salt filter. What advice would you suggest. I have done many intricate tile projects over 40 years.
Our pool needs re-plastering but the tiles look good do I need to replace them because I am re-plastering?
Sir: What brand or type of grout is to be applied in between the tiles.
Looks slippery. I'm about to remodel a pool now and it's used primary for volleyball and things like that I just don't think this would be appropriate because it's too slippery have any thoughts on that?
Great video. How do I know when I have filled far enough down the wall and start on the floor?
Hi Shane you tile just past the cove You’ll find that as the pool gets deeper the rows of tiles get longer
Roy, I am impressed. My grandfather was a Polish pool builder and built many of the pools in my neighborhood and, of course, I now have inherited one of the largest pool in my backyard. This pool is 20’ x 40’ and about 10’ deep hand dug and built in the early 50s in So. Cal. It’s solid but needs work. Do you think this DIY’er chick can tile the entire pool? I’ll need to pop out some old plaster that’s lifted but I’m guessing it’s all doable even for me! What do you think?
I’m sorry to tell you that it only does the floor but it does it very quickly
Cool man, but as well as glasses, I'd say where an n95 (especially when flat blading those glazed tiles) super silicosus
Do you need a general contractor licenses to do swimming pool tile ?
Better if you do the repairs before cleaning the pool. You have to clean the grinder dust by cleaning the pool again.
Please can someone tells me the name of this tile, and where can I purchase it?
Hi Roy. Great video. I have a question for you. I have a pool with a poured concrete box structure. I covered the inside with a rubber coating so that I was sure it was waterproof. On top of that I glue 60x90 cm natural slate tiles. After.a year or two we started getting problems with efflorescence and tiles coming loose so I am going to have to redo the whole thing.
1/ I only left the glue (Ardex tile glue) a week or two before I filled so perhaps the glue didn't have enough time to cure?
2/ I called Ardex and they said that the glue should be OK but I'm not so sure
3/ I grouted with Ardex grout (which is v hard) unlike the old glue which seems powdery. I didn't put enough expansion joints which pushed the loosish tiles to pop off
4/ I noted the glue you use you added some white liquid as you mixed it - what was that?
5/ I empty the pool during the winter but the efflorescence is almost impossible to remove so it builds up. Do you think it's coming from the glue or the underlying concrete?
What do you think?
Hi Kieth I’m afraid the problem you have is very common and it’s difficult to overcome. Google tells me that it’s caused by hard water but I don’t know. It seems like you’ve taken every precaution but still it happens. Once upon a time , let’s say 30 years ago the problem didn’t exist so , let’s look at how we tiled a pool back then.
I booked into a motel a while ago and it had a pool which, once seeing it, I realised that I did it 40 years ago. It was in perfect condition and no loose tiles and no cracks and no calcification whatsoever. The glue I used was Kemgrip Super the same as today but I didn’t add Kemcrete to it as you saw me do in my video. The grout I used was my own concoction of sand and cement. I used one part foundry sand ( brushing sand ) and six parts cement. It was a beautiful creamy grout and I only offered the customer 2 choices , grey or white If they chose white then I’d use pure white cement. Nowadays the grout we buy has got all sort of chemicals in it so , GO FIGURE
@@roysouthby1 Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. We have hard water here but that's not the problem. I've got the same tiles elsewhere which are not under water from the main supply, just rain water.
After thinking about it, I suspect that the cause is rain water running down behind the tiles before it gets below the pool water level - the majority of the deposits are on the wall that rises 1.5m above the water. I'm going to re-lay the tiles this spring and will direct rain water directly into the pool water. I'll also do some more research into glues and leave the glue and grout 6 weeks to cure.
Thanks again.
I'm thinking I want to use iridescent glass pool tiles. Would you recommend those or are the porcelain pool tiles preferred ?
Glass pool tiles are small and thin so the surface that your putting them on has to be perfectly even. Also they tend to chip when you cut them. I tend to steer away from glass and if I have to work with them my price is tripled
I have a question guys, what is the name of the cutting tile tool?
Love your video's. I have a project where i need to insatall water line over fiberglass pool. What do you recommend to glue porcelan or ceramic tile over the fiberglass pool. Thank you.
Because fibreglass is so flexible you can’t permanently glue tiles on it. I think that there are vinal
I meant vinyl tiles that would flex with the fibreglass but I suggest that you try googling it

Roy can you add tiles to a corrugated siding. This is on the walls of my pool.
Hi Andrew can you send a photo to +61414999970 and I'll see what can be done
