In-ground
pools may be subject to ground shifts, in which the pool shifts
position slightly as it ages, causing cracks to appear. If ignored,
the water can easily seep into the cracks, and eventually, out of the
pool, causing the water level to recede. This is normal in pools,
even with properly-constructed ones, which is why it's important to
seal the cracks as soon as possible. Even without visible cracks,
missing pool tiles can be costly in the long run.
Replacing missing or cracked
pool tiles may be the most ideal solution, but looking for the right
tiles is easier said than done. Bring an image—or better yet,
provide an actual sample—of the pool tile to a tile store to
provide you with the closest, if not the exact, matches. Meanwhile,
refrain from using the pool until the crack can be remedied,
especially if you're losing water for no reason. Constant refilling
of the pool may hurt your budget.
Experts advise against using
tiles other than pool tiles for this job. Pool tiles, in general, are
designed not just to look beautiful but also resist outdoor
conditions, from the hottest of days to the coldest of nights.
Bathroom tiles, for example, don't hold as much resistance and may
crack under the pressure more easily.
