Retiling your pool transforms how it looks and feels. Get expert guidance on pool retiling in Paphos — costs, tile choices, and what the process involves.
When to Retile Your Pool
Pool tiles in Cyprus typically last 15–25 years, but signs that retiling is needed can appear much sooner:
- Missing or cracked tiles
- Persistent staining that won't clean
- Outdated style (80s/90s small blue tiles are very common in older Paphos villas)
- Rough surfaces that snag swimwear or feet
- Significant grout deterioration
Tile Options for Paphos Pools
Glass Mosaic Tiles
The premium choice. Stunning visual effect, highly reflective, available in hundreds of colours. More expensive but transforms the appearance completely. Popular in high-end developments around Paphos and Coral Bay.
Ceramic Pool Tiles
The workhorse option. Durable, non-slip, and easy to clean. Available in larger format sizes (20x20cm, 30x30cm) for a more modern look. Most cost-effective for full retiling.
Porcelain Tiles
Between ceramic and glass in cost and appearance. Extremely low water absorption — important in Cyprus's temperature cycles. Very popular for waterline tiles combined with plaster/liner below.
Natural Stone
Travertine, limestone, or marble. Beautiful and unique but requires sealing and more maintenance. Suits high-end villa pools in rural Paphos areas.
The Retiling Process
- Drain pool completely
- Remove old tiles (mechanical or manual depending on adhesion)
- Prepare substrate — repair any cracks in the shell
- Apply waterproof adhesive
- Lay new tiles
- Grout with waterproof, pool-grade grout
- Cure for 48–72 hours before refilling
