Pool Tile Cleaning & Calcium/Scale Removal

Why Calcium Builds Up

If you live in Cibolo, you have probably noticed white or gray deposits forming along your pool tile line. This buildup is calcium scale, and it happens because our area has hard water. Hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that leave deposits on pool surfaces when water evaporates.

Over time, these deposits get thicker and harder to remove. They make your pool look dirty and neglected even when your water is clean. Calcium buildup also makes tile surfaces rough, which is uncomfortable to touch and can snag swimsuits.

Regular brushing helps slow down calcium buildup, but it will not remove existing scale. You need professional tile cleaning to fully restore your pool tile and keep it looking great.

Our Tile Cleaning Process

We use specialized tools and techniques to remove calcium and scale without damaging your tile or grout. Here is what our service includes:

We take care to protect your pool tile during the cleaning process. Our methods are safe for all tile types including ceramic, porcelain, glass, and natural stone. When we finish, your tile will look like new and feel smooth to the touch.

Benefits of Clean Pool Tile

Clean tile does more than improve your pool's appearance. It also makes your pool more enjoyable and easier to maintain. When calcium is gone, your tile looks bright and polished. This makes your entire pool look cleaner and more inviting.

Removing scale also helps prevent long-term damage. Thick calcium deposits can trap moisture and cause tile or grout to crack over time. By keeping your tile clean, you protect your investment and avoid expensive repairs later.

If you combine tile cleaning with our weekly pool cleaning service, you can keep calcium buildup under control. Regular water balancing and brushing slow down scale formation, which means less frequent deep cleaning.

When To Schedule Tile Cleaning

Most pools in Cibolo benefit from tile cleaning once or twice a year depending on water hardness and usage. If you notice visible white or gray buildup on your tile line, it is time to schedule a cleaning.

You should also consider tile cleaning before hosting events or pool parties. Clean tile makes a big difference in how your pool looks in photos and to guests. It shows that you take pride in your pool and maintain it properly.

If your pool has heavy calcium buildup, do not wait too long to address it. The longer scale sits on your tile, the harder it becomes to remove. Early cleaning is faster, easier, and less expensive than dealing with severe buildup. If you also need other services like deep pool cleaning, we can bundle them together to save you time and money.
