Retiling Questions: Current costs and where to get tiles?

[mrbookmanlibrarycop]

Hi All. I need to retile my pool, its just waterline tiles. Tired of having to reapply 10-20 tiles per season and it's time. Some mortar in problem spots is also failing that needs addressed. Couple Qs

Has anyone recently gotten a retiling? Looking to ballpark prices and what is reasonable before I start getting quotes next month. ~130 linear feet, 6x6 tiles. I am also in a HCOL (westchester, ny) so I know I will paying more off the bat
Where do you all get your tiles? Local shops or online? I am looking to get near-replicas of my current tiles (attached).

Thanks!

There are pool tile supply shops pretty much everywhere. I think I paid about $3k a couple years ago. Not hard to DIY though.

Make sure your tile is rated for pools and is submersible and frost-proof. Not any bathroom tile will do.

Be prepared for some possible plaster work along the tile line.

And be prepared for sticker shock when you get estimates. Pool renovation and resurfacing prices have gotten out of control since Covid!
