Swimming pool repair and maintenance in Girona, Costa Brava, Figueres and Maresme

A pool in poor condition does not always show obvious signs. Sometimes a small leak, or a filtration system losing performance, can become a serious problem if we don’t act in time. At Piscines Ramser we specialise in swimming pool repair and preventive maintenance in Girona, Figueres, Costa Brava, Vallès Oriental and Maresme.

How to tell if your pool needs repair?

These are the most common signs that a technical inspection is needed:

• The pool loses more water than normal. A loss of more than 2-3 cm per week (excluding evaporation) may indicate a leak.
• Visible cracks or fissures appear in the shell, on the edges or at the bottom of the pool.
• Damp patches on the walls, floor or areas near the pump room usually indicate a leak.
• The filtration system loses pressure or performance are symptoms that need to be checked.
• If the water frequently loses clarity despite regular chemical treatment, it may signal a filtration or circulation problem.
• The pool has not been inspected for more than 8-10 years. Preventive maintenance is key to avoiding major breakdowns.
• The water bill increases without explanation. Unusually high consumption may indicate a leak.

FAQs about swimming pool repair and maintenance

How often should pool maintenance be carried out? A full technical inspection is recommended at least once a year, ideally before the start of the season. Pools that have gone more than 8-10 years without a structural inspection should be prioritised.

How do I know if my pool has a leak? The clearest sign is a water loss greater than normal evaporation — around 2 to 3 centimetres.

How much does pool repair cost? The cost depends on the type of problem, the size of the pool and the materials required.

Can a pool be repaired in winter? Yes. In fact, winter is the best time for maintenance and repairs.

What is the difference between repair and rehabilitation? Repair aims to solve a specific problem (for example, a leak). Rehabilitation is a broader intervention.
