Can you replace coping without draining pool and replacing tile?

Yes, it is possible to replace coping without draining the pool or replacing the tile. Many pool professionals can remove and replace coping stones or bricks by carefully cutting them away and installing new ones without disturbing the pool water. This method helps minimize disruption and can be a more cost-effective solution. However, it's essential to ensure that the new coping matches the existing design and is properly sealed to prevent water infiltration.
