What adhesive for coping tiles on fibreglass pool lip?

I need to replace a broken coping tile on the edge of our fibreglass pool and wanted to check suggestions for the best adhesive that will bond to the fibreglass. It's a 300 x 300 terracotta tile and fits over the fibreglass lip of the pool plus where it meets the concrete surround (approx 80% fibreglass then 20% concrete). There appears to have been a gritty grey/black adhesive layer applied previously. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @preid 

 

Thank you for your patience. I suggest using Dunlop 310ml Tile-All Plus Premixed Tile Adhesive. You can use it on aluminium, concrete, fibre-cement sheet, fibreglass, glass, glazed and unglazed ceramic tiles, metal, plasterboard, plastics, polystyrene foam, plywood, timber, wood.

 

It's a multi-purpose adhesive and sealant in one. It's suitable for replacing tiles underwater in swimming pools and water features. Plus, it has excellent strength and is highly flexible.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
