Pool Tile Repair in Richardson, TX

Richardson was one of the first Dallas suburbs to boom, and it shows in the housing stock—and the pools. Some Richardson pools date back to the 1960s and 1970s, making them among the oldest in the metroplex still in active use. The tile on these pools has stories to tell, and often needs help to keep telling them.

We have a soft spot for these older Richardson pools. There is craftsmanship in many of them that you do not see in modern construction. Our job is to repair tile in a way that respects that original work while addressing the realities of age and wear.

Working With Vintage Richardson Pools

A pool built in 1972 is over 50 years old. The tile installation has survived half a century of Texas weather, chemical exposure, and soil movement. When we approach these pools, we consider factors that do not apply to newer installations.

Original materials: Tile, grout, and adhesive from that era differ from modern products. Repairs need to be compatible with what is already there.

Availability: Finding matching tile for a 1970s pool can be a treasure hunt. We maintain relationships with salvage sources and specialty suppliers who stock vintage pool tile.

Structural context: Older pools have been through more soil cycles than newer ones. The cumulative stress means tile problems often coincide with other structural issues that should be evaluated.

Tile Repairs Across Richardson

Richardson’s neighborhoods reflect different eras of development. Canyon Creek and Prairie Creek have pools from the 1970s and 1980s. Northrich and Reservation are even older. Each area presents its own tile repair challenges based on when the pools were built and what materials were standard at the time.

The portions of Richardson that extend into Collin County—near UTD and along Campbell Road—tend to have somewhat newer pools and different soil characteristics than southern Richardson in Dallas County. We adjust our approach based on these local factors.

How We Approach Tile Repair

Assessment

We evaluate the extent of tile damage and look for underlying causes—shell cracks, structural movement, or active leaks behind the tile area. We verify whether water is escaping before sealing everything up with new tiles.

Tile Selection

We help you choose replacement tiles that match or complement your existing design for a seamless look after the repair.

Surface Preparation

We remove damaged tiles and old adhesive, clean the substrate thoroughly, and ensure proper bonding surface. This step determines how long the repair lasts.

Tile Installation

We use appropriate thinset for underwater applications and maintain proper grout coverage. We match existing tiles when possible or help you select complementary replacements.

Verification

We confirm the repair is watertight and the finished appearance meets your expectations.

Richardson, TX Tile Services

We handle everything from single tile replacement to complete waterline restoration. For vintage pools, we take extra care to preserve the character of the original installation. For newer Richardson pools—yes, they exist—we apply current best practices for materials and installation.

Before any tile work, we check for underlying leaks. Older pools in Richardson have higher leak risk simply due to age, and repairing tile over an active leak wastes money.
