Pool Skimmer, Overflow and Pipe Repair in Mallorca
Cracked skimmer, blocked overflow or a suspect pipe run? Vetted technicians repair the hidden plumbing of pools across Mallorca.
The most common hidden leaks
The skimmer body is the single most common leak point on older Mallorcan pools: the joint between skimmer and shell works loose over the years and lets water escape just below the waterline. Overflow channels and return fittings follow close behind, and buried pipe runs crack where the ground has settled.
How repairs are done
Skimmer joints are cut back and rebuilt with flexible sealants or the skimmer body is replaced. Overflow drains and channels are resealed and regraded. Pipe sections are repaired locally at the marked spot, relined from the inside, or bypassed, and full excavation is the last resort, not the first suggestion.
Not sure where the water goes
Start with pool leak detection, which finds the exact point before anything is opened. If several elements are tired at once, a full renovation at 8,000 to 20,000 EUR renews skimmers, fittings and surfaces in one project.

Frequently asked questions about skimmer and pipe repair
How do I know the skimmer is leaking?
A classic sign is water stabilising just below the skimmer mouth with the pump off. A dye test at the skimmer joint confirms it in minutes.
Can pipes be repaired without digging up the terrace?
Often yes. Located leaks are opened only at the marked spot, and some runs can be relined from the inside or bypassed without touching the terrace.
What does a skimmer repair cost?
Joint repairs are minor jobs quoted after diagnosis. A full skimmer replacement is bigger but still quoted in writing before any work starts.
Why does my overflow pool lose water?
Overflow channels and balance tanks have their own joints and valves, all of which age. A specialist checks the whole circuit, not just the visible channel.
