Thought there'd be more posts on this topic, but I couldn't really find anything specific, so apologies if posts exist and I just missed them....
I have a few tiles in and around my skimmer area that have come off, and wanting to know the best way to repair them. Saw a few YouTube videos making it seem pretty simple with the use of thin set products and grout. Is it really that simple, or are there some specific products available for pools that I should be looking at? I've seen products by E-Z Patch. Is that a good choice?

While I'm at it, I've noticed some cracks in the grout just above the tile line where it meets the underside of the coping tiles - all around the pool. Would a bead of good waterproof silicone do the trick, or should I be looking at something better for that as well?

Started opening the pool today and realized I should address all of this before I bring the water level back up, so looking for a quick DIY solution! :)
 
I believe EZ patch is good. I have used Novagard silicone grout. It will act as both an adhesive and grout.
