Restore the Beauty of Your Pool with Professional Tile Cleaning by GID Pools
Over time, even the most beautiful pool can start to look dull or neglected when waterline tiles accumulate calcium, stains, and mineral deposits. In Central Texas, where hard water, heavy pollen, and intense sun exposure are part of daily life, this buildup happens faster than most homeowners expect. Calcium scale, dirt, and chemical residue can cling to your tile line, changing your pool’s appearance and eventually causing long-term surface damage if not treated properly.
At GID Pools, we specialize in professional pool tile cleaning that removes stubborn buildup and restores the original shine, color, and smooth finish of your pool’s surface. Using commercial-grade equipment, non-abrasive blasting media, and industry-best techniques, we safely eliminate years of scale and grime without damaging your tile, grout, or surrounding surfaces.
Whether your home is in Sunfield, Plum Creek, Mountain City, Garlic Creek, Shadow Creek, Manchaca, or anywhere else throughout Buda, Kyle, and the South Austin region, our expert technicians are ready to bring your pool tile back to life. We understand the unique water conditions in this area, and we tailor our cleaning methods to ensure your tile not only looks new again—but stays cleaner for longer.
Our tile cleaning service is designed to enhance your pool’s beauty, improve the overall look of your backyard, and protect your investment from the long-term effects of scale buildup and staining. When you choose GID Pools, you’re choosing a team committed to quality, safety, and lasting results.

Why Do Pool Tiles in Central Texas Get So Dirty?
Pool tiles in Central Texas face a unique combination of environmental challenges that make buildup and staining especially common. The local water supply is naturally high in calcium and other minerals, and as pool water evaporates—particularly during hot Texas summers—those minerals are left behind. Over time, they form a white, chalky calcium scale along the waterline and on raised features like spillways, fountains, and decorative tile bands. Add to that the region’s heavy oak and cedar pollen, strong UV exposure, frequent windy days, and fluctuating weather, and it’s no surprise that buildup happens quickly.
Daily swimming also contributes to waterline discoloration, as sunscreen, body oils, cosmetics, and lotions cling to the tile surface. Dirt, dust, and fine debris carried by Central Texas winds settle along the tile line as well. Without proper water chemistry, these contaminants bond to the tile, accelerating mineral deposits and algae growth. Over time, this buildup doesn’t just dull the appearance of your pool—it can stain the tile permanently, loosen grout, and cause long-term damage to the pool’s structure if left untreated.
The Dangers of DIY Tile Cleaning
Scrubbing pool tiles yourself may seem like a quick fix, but DIY methods often cause more harm than good. Harsh chemicals can strip the tile’s finish, remove grout, or cause surface etching. Steel brushes or abrasive scrubbing pads can scratch ceramic, porcelain, or glass tile. High-pressure washers—especially those designed for patios or house siding—can crack tiles, damage coping, or chip plaster.
At GID Pools, we use a professional media-blasting technique specifically designed for safe pool tile cleaning. This method removes calcium scale, stains, and built-up residue without damaging the tile surface, grout, or plaster. Our process is gentle, effective, and trusted by homeowners throughout Buda, Kyle, Manchaca, Mountain City, and surrounding Hays County communities.
Our Tile Cleaning Process
We follow a detailed, step-by-step process to ensure your pool tiles are cleaned thoroughly, safely, and without compromising the integrity of your pool.
Tile Inspection
We begin with a full inspection of your waterline tile, identifying the type of tile material—such as ceramic, porcelain, glass, or natural stone—the severity of buildup, and any pre-existing damage. This allows us to choose the correct cleaning media and pressure settings for optimal results.
Water Level Adjustment
We lower the pool water just enough to expose the tile and spillway surfaces. This gives us full access to remove calcium and staining along the waterline and several inches below it, where scale often starts to form.
Media Blasting
Using environmentally safe blasting media—such as glass bead or mineral salt—we gently remove calcium deposits, mineral stains, algae, and surface contaminants. Our equipment is calibrated specifically for pool tile, ensuring a powerful clean that won’t scratch or dull the finish.
Rinse & Detailed Cleanup
After blasting, we rinse the tile line thoroughly and vacuum any residual media from the pool floor. We then wipe and detail the edges for a polished, like-new finish.
Optional Sealant Application
For long-term protection, we can apply a specialty sealant designed to resist future calcium buildup, making routine maintenance easier and keeping your tiles looking clean for longer.
Instant, Noticeable Results
Most pool owners are stunned by how dramatically their tiles improve after a professional cleaning. Years of dull, chalky buildup disappear, and the tile’s original color and shine are restored. Clean tiles instantly elevate the look of your pool and enhance the overall appearance of your backyard.
You’ll see improvements such as:
Brighter, whiter grout lines
Sharper tile color and clarity
A clean, polished waterline
A fresher, newer-looking pool
This transformation can refresh your entire backyard space without the cost of renovation.
How Often Should You Clean Pool Tiles in Buda Texas?
In the Buda–Kyle–South Austin region, we recommend professional tile cleaning every 12 to 18 months, although some homes may need more frequent service depending on:
High calcium content in local water
Direct sun exposure
Wind-blown debris and pollen
Elevated water levels from splash-out
Heavy bather loads, especially during summer
Irregular brushing or inconsistent water chemistry
Spillways, raised spas, fountains, and sheer descents often require more frequent cleaning due to constant water flow and mineral evaporation.
Tile Cleaning for All Pool Types
We provide tile cleaning for every style of residential pool found in Central Texas, including:
Inground concrete/gunite pools
Pools with raised walls, spillways, and fountains
Pools featuring decorative or mosaic tile bands
Attached spas and hot tubs
Waterlines finished with natural stone or travertine
From classic ceramic tile to modern glass mosaics, we know exactly how to clean each material safely and effectively.
