Our Step-by-Step
Tile Cleaning Process
-
Prep & Protect:
We lower the water just below the tile line, inspect the surface, and cover nearby features to make sure everything stays safe during cleaning. -
Blast Away Buildup:
Using fine glass media and low pressure, we remove calcium, grime, and algae without damaging your tile or stone. No harsh acids, no shortcuts, just proven results. -
Rinse & Reveal:
After cleaning, we carefully rinse every surface and polish the tile to restore its original color and shine. Most pools look brand new the same day. -
Seal & Finish:
For long-lasting protection, we can apply a water-safe sealer that prevents future buildup and keeps your pool sparkling longer. Then we walk you through the results before refilling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my pool tile cleaned in San Antonio?
Hard water and high calcium levels in San Antonio usually mean tile cleaning every 2 to 3 years. Some homeowners schedule annual cleanings to prevent heavy buildup and staining.
Why does calcium build up so quickly in San Antonio pools?
Our region’s limestone-rich water leaves behind calcium deposits as it evaporates. Those white, chalky rings are a natural result of the minerals in South Texas water.
Can you clean my pool without draining it?
For light buildup, yes. But for full tile restoration or heavy calcium removal, partial draining is usually needed so we can clean safely and thoroughly.
Will the bead blasting damage my pool tile or stone?
No. We use fine glass bead media and low-pressure systems designed specifically for pool surfaces. It is tough on buildup but gentle on tile, grout, and stone.
How long does a typical cleaning take?
Most jobs take less than one day. Heavier buildup or larger pools may require a second visit, but we will let you know before we start. That is also very rarely the case.
Can you remove stains from waterlines, grout, or coping too?
Yes. Our process removes calcium, algae, and metal stains from tile, stone, and grout. We can even clean decorative features like waterfalls or raised spas.
