Expert Pool Tile Cleaning In Charleston, SC
Restore the Beauty of Your Pool with Professional Tile Cleaning by 843 Pool Service
Over time, even the most stunning pool can begin to look dull or neglected as waterline tiles accumulate calcium, stains, and mineral deposits. In Charleston, South Carolina, where heavy pollen, high humidity, coastal winds, and strong sun exposure are part of everyday life, this buildup happens faster than most homeowners expect. Calcium scale, dirt, organic debris, and chemical residue cling to your tile line, affecting your pool’s appearance and eventually causing long-term surface damage if left untreated.
At 843 Pool Service, 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 cleaning techniques, we safely eliminate years of scale and grime without damaging your tile, grout, coping, or surrounding plaster.
Whether your home is in Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Goose Creek, Hanahan, Ladson, Daniel Island, James Island, Johns Island, Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms, or anywhere else throughout Charleston County, our expert technicians are ready to bring your pool tile back to life. We understand the unique coastal water conditions of the Lowcountry, and we tailor our cleaning process 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, elevate the look of your backyard, and protect your investment from the long-term effects of staining and scale buildup. When you choose 843 Pool Service, you’re choosing a company committed to quality workmanship, safe practices, and lasting results.

Why Do Pool Tiles in Charleston, South Carolina Get So Dirty?
Pool tiles in Charleston, South Carolina, face a unique combination of environmental challenges that make buildup and staining especially common. While Charleston water isn’t as hard as in other areas, the local supply still contains minerals that accumulate over time. As pool water evaporates, especially during hot, humid Lowcountry summers, those minerals are left behind, forming white, chalky scale along the waterline and on raised features such as spillways, fountains, and decorative tile bands. Charleston’s environment adds even more factors that accelerate buildup, including heavy pollen from live oaks and pines, strong UV exposure, high humidity, and coastal winds that blow in sand, dust, and fine debris. Frequent weather shifts also affect water chemistry, allowing contaminants to bond to the tile surface more easily.
Daily use contributes as well. Sunscreen, body oils, cosmetics, and lotions cling to the tile line, creating a film that attracts dirt and organic material. When left unchecked or when the water chemistry drifts out of balance these substances combine with minerals to create stubborn staining, algae, and hard-to-remove deposits. Over time, this buildup doesn’t just make your pool look dull; it can permanently stain the tile, loosen grout, encourage algae growth, and even cause long-term structural issues if ignored. Regular tile cleaning and balanced water chemistry from 843 Pool Service help protect your pool, keeping it clean, vibrant, and beautiful year-round.
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 protective finish, weaken or remove grout, and cause permanent surface etching. Steel brushes or abrasive pads can scratch ceramic, porcelain, or glass tile, leaving visible marks that are expensive to repair. High-pressure washers, especially those meant for patios or siding, can crack tiles, damage coping, and even chip plaster, turning a simple cleaning task into a costly restoration project.
At 843 Pool Service, we use a professional media-blasting technique specifically designed for safe and effective pool tile cleaning. This method removes calcium scale, stains, algae, and built-up residue without damaging the tile surface, grout, or surrounding plaster. Our process is gentle where it needs to be and powerful where it counts, delivering results homeowners can trust. We proudly provide this service to pool owners throughout Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Goose Creek, Hanahan, Ladson, Daniel Island, James Island, Johns Island, Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms, and communities across Charleston County.
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 Central Texas?
In the Charleston, SC 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.
