Fibreglass pools, in and swimming sooner in Mallorca

A fibreglass shell is made in a factory and craned into a prepared hole, so the messy on-site weeks of a concrete build largely disappear. The surface is smooth and non-porous, which means less algae, fewer chemicals and easy cleaning, and a good shell lasts for decades. The trade-off is choice: you pick from set shapes and sizes rather than drawing your own. Tell us your plot and access and we match you with builders who fit fibreglass every week.

Fibreglass is fast, but the groundwork still has to be right. Your builder handles survey, excavation, base, crane delivery, levelling, backfill, plumbing and the terrace around it, with one point of contact throughout. Access for the crane and the shell is the thing to check early. Weighing it against concrete? Our guide to concrete versus fibreglass pools lays out the trade-offs.
