Pool Rust Stain Removal in Mallorca
Brown or orange stains on the pool shell? Vetted specialists remove rust stains and repair the cause, across all of Mallorca.
Why pools rust on Mallorca
Rust stains have three usual sources on the island: metal objects left in the water, hairpins, furniture feet or garden tools, iron rich well water used for filling, and in older concrete pools corrosion of the steel reinforcement working its way to the surface. The first two are cosmetic. The third is structural and should be inspected early.
How stains are removed
Local spot stains are treated in the water with targeted acid treatment, often without draining the pool. Widespread staining from well water is handled with a sequestering treatment and a filtration plan. Where reinforcement is rusting, the affected area is cut back, the steel treated and the surface rebuilt, invisible when done well.
Honest advice before any work
A stain caused by a forgotten hairpin should not cost like a renovation. The specialists in our network diagnose first and quote in writing. If the shell does need structural work, a full pool renovation typically runs 8,000 to 20,000 EUR and solves staining, leaks and tired surfaces in one project.

Frequently asked questions about pool rust stains
Can rust stains be removed without draining the pool?
Often yes. Local spot stains are treated in the water with targeted treatment. Draining is only needed for structural repairs or very widespread staining.
Are rust stains dangerous?
Stains from metal objects or well water are cosmetic. Stains that keep returning in the same spot on an older concrete pool can signal rebar corrosion and should be inspected.
What does removal cost?
Spot treatments are minor jobs quoted after a quick diagnosis. Structural repairs fall within normal renovation ranges, typically 8,000 to 20,000 EUR for a full renovation.
How do I prevent new stains?
Keep metal objects out of the water, balance the water regularly and use a sequestering agent if you fill from a well with iron rich water.
