Looking for professional swimming pool tile replacement in Cape Town?

Why Replace Your Pool Tiles?
Over time, pool tiles can fade, crack, or fall off due to age, poor water chemistry, or structural movement. Damaged or outdated pool tiles not only reduce visual appeal—they also lead to water loss and safety risks. Replacing your pool tiles is an investment that restores waterproofing, boosts curb appeal, and adds long-term value to your property.
Common Reasons for Tile Replacement
- Loose, cracked, or missing tiles
- Discoloured or dated aesthetics
- Persistent leaks or waterline damage
- Upgrading to non-slip or eco-friendly materials
Replacing tiles also offers an opportunity to refresh your pool’s overall design, align it with modern trends, or improve safety in family pools.

At Pools Reno, we work with a wide range of pool tile styles and finishes, ideal for both new pools and renovations:
- Glass mosaic tiles – vibrant colours, smooth texture, and long-lasting shine

- Ceramic tiles – budget-friendly and versatile
Cost of Pool Tile Replacement in South Africa
The cost of replacing your swimming pool tiles can vary based on the type of material, pool size, and condition of the current surface. It’s important to plan your budget accordingly, especially if you’re upgrading to more premium finishes.
📊 Average Tile Installation Costs
Below are typical price ranges based on material type:
- Porcelain or ceramic: R600 – R1,000 per m²
- Glass mosaics: R1,000 – R2,000 per m²
- Natural stone finishes: R1,200 – R2,500 per m²
These figures include supply and installation but may vary depending on pool shape and accessibility.
Additional Cost Factors to Consider
While selecting tiles is a major decision, it’s also important to budget for extra work such as:
- Removal and disposal of old tiles
- Surface preparation and levelling
- Application of waterproofing layers
- Grouting and sealing for long-lasting results
- Post-installation cleaning and polishing
For example, if your current tiles are heavily damaged or your pool surface is uneven, additional labour may be needed, which can increase the total cost.
