Swimming Pool Regrouting or Retiling? Factors That Can Influence Your Decision

April 13, 2018

A beautiful tile design can be ruined when the grout holding it all together starts to discolour and break apart. While we love the tiling in and around our backyard swimming pool, we sure don't like having to deal with the extra work that comes by way of maintenance. Today, we are going to take a look at one of the most common problems that swimming pool owners everywhere have to face: to grout or re-tile a swimming pool. We'll break down the benefits of both approaches while detailing a few aspects that might influence your decision during the process. Grab your favourite pair of swim trunks and a pen to take some notes, let's begin.

Re-grouting vs. Re-tiling: A Swimming Pool Problem

Alright, so the first thing you are going to want to do is to take a moment to honestly appraise the state of your grout and tiling. The most common issue that people will have, and the easiest one to fix, is the appearance of discolouration in their grout. Sometimes you will find that grime can build up on your grout, thus causing it to give off an unpleasant colour. This is an easy fix that requires only some elbow grease and grout cleaning material. Unfortunately, this isn't the end of the lien for some people. When your grout needs more than just a simple scrub, you have to start asking yourself: am I going to have to re-grout the entire pool or re-tile it all?

1. Benefits of Re-Grouting - Re-grouting is going to be the easier option of your two choices. Before deciding to re-grout, appraise the status of your tiles and the grout. If there is only minor, superficial, damage then you can go ahead and bust out your tools to refresh your grout. If the damage goes deeper, then keep on reading.
2. Benefits of Re-tiling - Sometimes you can't simply wash away a problem, and that is often the case with bad grout. When breakdown goes deep into your pool you run the risk of having mould and mildew begin to build up underneath the tiles. In this situation, factors are leading you toward a complete overhaul which will require extensive re-tiling.
