salt water pool plaster

Once the thinset dries, the tiles may be grouted. Tile installation is simple and can be done by anyone. However, tiles cannot be installed in pools unless the plaster substrate is in good condition.

You may need to replace both a pool's bottom and its surface in some cases. This will cost you about the same as building an entirely new setup. Depending on your pool size and the material you choose, you might need to spend $35,000 to $65,000.

Materials costs for tile start at about $4/sq.ft. Ceramics can be as high as $7-$50 per square foot. For stone and glass tile, the price can go up to $80-$50/sq.ft. Add in the cost of installation, and the price can reach six figures.
