7 signs your Mallorca pool needs renovating

Pools age, especially under Mallorca’s sun and hard water. The good news is that a tired pool can usually be brought back to life for far less than a new build. Here are seven signs yours is due for renovation.

1. Cracks in the shell or surround

Hairline cracks can be cosmetic, but spreading or deep cracks can mean structural movement or leaks worth investigating.

2. You are topping up more than usual

If the water level keeps dropping faster than evaporation explains, you may have a leak in the shell, plumbing or fittings.

3. Rough, stained or flaking surfaces

A surface that snags your feet, or that is stained and patchy, has reached the end of its finish and is ready for re-tiling or re-rendering.

4. Dated tiles and coping

Sometimes the structure is fine and the look is simply old. New tiling, coping and lighting can transform a pool completely.

5. Old, inefficient equipment

An ageing pump or heater quietly wastes energy. Modern, efficient equipment pays for itself and runs quieter.

6. Constant chemistry battles

If the water is a struggle to keep balanced, worn surfaces and old equipment are often the cause.

7. It simply does not get used

If the pool no longer fits how you live, a renovation can add a spa, a shallow lounging zone, better steps or heating to make it a pleasure again.
