Here is a little update -
I had bought the adhesive & planned to do the repair, BUT, the first time my daughter went in the pool many, many more tiles came off, SO, we have decided to have all tiles removed & replaced.
I have spoken with 3 different companies so far.
#1 - Mentioned he will fix & reset any loose coping as well as do the job.
Water will not be removed from pool - just lowered 6" or so.
$2300 complete including materials
#2 - My regular pool guy - he does my opening & closing & is good with equip repairs - not very chatty & sort of old school with technology.
He is very cheap for open / close.
He said around $2400 Water will not be removed from pool - just lowered 6" or so.
Didnt mention coping
I just bought the house 2 years ago & got him because the previous owner told me he has used him for 13 years & knows my system well.
#3 - Big pool renovation company - coming Tues p.m. to give estimate
He seemed quite knowledgable
He said you definitely want to drain ALL water from the pool - then he will reset all loose coping, & do tile job in 1-2 days & then refill pool which will take 1-2 days.
He said if you dont drain pool it would be sloppy job from someone doing tiling upside down from above - he also warned of all old mortar etc getting into water. Of course he may be much more expensive.
I sort of want to stick with my guy only because I think he would be offended if I went elsewhere.
What are your thoughts?
