Pool tile and coping replacement in porcelain, glass and travertine, priced by the foot.
New Pool Tile and Coping, Done Together
Blue Lagoon replaces pool tile and coping in Gilbert and across the East Valley. Most homeowners do both during a remodel, because the tile and the interior finish wear out at the same pace.
We replace full tile lines, and we repair a few loose tiles when the rest are solid. After we tap your tile line, we will tell you which one your pool needs.

Pool Tile Repair or Replacement: How We Decide
We repair when only one to five tiles are loose and no others are hollow. Before any repair, we knock on each tile in the pool to check the rest. If many tiles are hollow or loose, it is better to replace them all.
Pool Tile Replacement Cost
| Job | Price |
|---|---|
| Waterline tile, done with a pool chip-out | $19 per lineal foot |
| Waterline tile only, keeping the interior finish | $22 per lineal foot |
Both prices include standard-priced tile. Glass and upgraded tile cost more.
Pool Tile Options: Porcelain and Glass
Porcelain is the standard pool tile, and it costs less than glass. Glass looks more elegant and stands apart from other choices. The brands we install most are NPT and Aquabella, which are popular across Arizona.
You can browse styles on the NPT website. Then we bring tile samples to your home, so you can hold them up to your deck and coping.
Can Pool Tile Be Replaced Without Draining?
We recommend draining the pool for tile replacement. With water in the pool, thin-set and grout drip down the wall, and they are harder to clean up. Once the pool is empty, we lay tarps to catch debris so it does not damage the surface.
Calcium on Pool Tile Does Not Mean New Tile
Calcium builds up on every waterline in Arizona, because the water is hard. But you do not need to replace tile over it. We have the equipment and media to remove calcium from tile and other materials. See pool tile cleaning for that service.
Travertine Pool Coping
Coping is the cap along the pool edge. We install travertine, which stays cooler than concrete or brick and comes in many color variations. It is also the more affordable option.
| Travertine coping edge | Price per foot |
|---|---|
| Eased edge | $32 |
| Bullnose edge | $35 |
Replacing Pool Tile During a Resurface
The tile is the same age as the interior finish. When we chip out old pebble, it is hard not to break a tile, and older tile is often discontinued. So replacing the tile during pool resurfacing gives you a matched look, and it costs $3 less per foot.
Our workmanship carries a two-year warranty. For the full price list, see pool remodeling.
