Hey friends, can I please get some info on waterline tile repair? Recently I had about 5-6 waterline tiles fall in the pool and I plan to fix them this week. I am a very competent DIYer but this is new territory for me. My plan is to use main drain only to drain pool a few inches under tile and run pool only through main drains for a few days while repairing, then clean tiles/area with multitool and shop vac and prepare for re-installation. I could use some help from there...what products do you recommend for mortor/thinset then grout and is there anything special about laying them that I need to know? How do I keep the tiles from moving after you stick them? The following day I will grout them. I also need to re-grout around the whole pool, waterline tile to coping but that's another deal, I suspect that issue had a lot to do with the tiles falling off in the first place. Thanks for all the info. Pic is attached and pool is gunite.
