Tile is often used to border a pool's watersline. However, ceramic, porcelain and stone tiles, as well as glass tile, can be placed over any pool surface in any design. Tile is applied over plaster in the same manner as in a bathroom. Thinset is used to glue mats of smaller tiles or individual tiles to the plaster substrate.

Epoxies, while not an easy task to do yourself, are much easier to apply. Prices can vary from $1500 for epoxy to $15,000 for the polymers depending on the size and location of the pool.

In order to repaint pool walls, it is important that the plaster be in good condition. The plaster surface should first be cleaned with muriatic Acid. Next, rinse the plaster with TSP (trisodiumphosphate). Take extreme care when using TSP or muriatic and follow all manufacturer's directions. The old paint must also be compatible with new paint. Rubberized latex paint won’t adhere to epoxy, but vice versa.
