Pool Services & MoreWhat affects pool tile cleaning cost
Pool tile cleaning: Starting at $650
Every pool is quoted individually from your photos. The main things that change the price are:
- Length of the tile line (the linear feet of waterline tile on the pool and spa)
- How heavy the calcium buildup is
- Tile type: glass and iridescent tile vs. porcelain, ceramic or stone
- Raised spa walls, spillways, waterfalls and rock features
- Access to the backyard
The water is lowered about 6 to 12 inches below the tile line, and the pool is never drained, so there is no drain-and-refill cost for tile cleaning.
Cost to remove calcium from pool tile
Calcium removal: Starting at $650 (calcium removal is done as part of tile cleaning)
Light white film and thick gray scale are different jobs. Heavier, older buildup takes longer to blast off, so it affects the quote. Most pools are done in 2 to 4 hours; heavy buildup can take 5 to 6 hours.
See bead blasting pool tile for how the calcium is removed, and how to remove calcium from pool tile for what you can try yourself first.
Pool acid wash cost
Pool plaster acid wash: Starting at $850
An acid wash is a plaster service, not a tile service. The quote depends on the size of the pool, the kind of staining and the condition of the plaster. The pool is drained, washed, neutralized and refilled.
If the plaster is worn thin, a replaster may be the better value, and we'll tell you honestly. More on the acid wash page.
What is included
Tile cleaning covers the waterline tile on the pool and spa unless your quote says otherwise. Raised walls, spillways, waterfalls and rocks can be added. Coping, grout or tile repair, toe tiles on steps and benches, plaster stains and chemical startup are not included.
