How Much Does A Pool and Spa Repair Cost to Fix a Leak?
Pool and Spa repair cost can vary widely, but the cost of not taking action could be even higher when your pool leaks. Fixr.com says the average pool repair is $500-$1500. On this page, we’ll show you precisely what our swimming pool and spa leak repair cost is because we believe that by offering our pool repair price upfront, you will see that transparency and honesty are the right ways to do business.
Pool Epoxy Repair Cost
$35
We use epoxy for all minor cracks, as it provides a quick and effective way to address small issues before they escalate into larger problems. Epoxy is not a permanent fix, and while it offers durability and resistance to moisture, it should be viewed as a temporary measure. It is an excellent solution for small cracks, especially when immediate repairs are needed to prevent further damage. We do not guarantee that it will hold for any amount of time, and it is something you may have to continue to apply to your leak, particularly in high-stress areas or extreme weather conditions. Regular maintenance and inspection will help ensure that any potential issues are caught early, allowing for timely interventions that can save you time and money in the long run.
Pool Crack Repair Cost
$125 per foot
We use a specially formulated injection foam to effectively fill in your pool crack, ensuring a durable and longer-lasting repair. This foam expands upon application, reaching into even the tiniest crevices, creating a robust seal that prevents further water infiltration and damage.
Although this is the most permanent solution, due to the nature of the type of soil your pool sits on, we can not warranty any crack repair.
Skimmer Injection Cost
$400 per skimmer
Skimmer injections consist of injecting an expandable foam into the crack and cavities of your leaking skimmer. However, it is typically much longer lasting than epoxy and much cheaper than a skimmer replacement. This has no warranty.
In Dirt Pipe Break Cost
$700 Per Break*
When a broken pipe is located in the dirt with no concrete over it, we charge $700.
*This price could change if the break is encased in roots, concrete, or other pipes, making the repair much more complex and time-consuming.
Under Concrete Pipe Break Cost
$1200 Per pipe
This is a leak that can happen for both your pool and spa repair cost. If we have to go through concrete, dig through roots, or other obstacles that make this repair more complicated, the repair will cost $1200.
We do not guarantee an exact match to your decking. Unique decking will need a concrete specialist. But in most cases, we can get pretty close.
Spa Wall Pipe Repair Cost
$1,800 Per Break
This repair is tricky. It isn’t easy. Because this is one, if not the most challenging repair we do, we charge $1800.
Typically a spa wall pipe break is encased in concrete, so this repair is complicated and can take some time.
Skimmer Replacement Cost
$1800 Per Skimmer
A Skimmer Replacement is one of the more labor-intensive repairs. The skimmer is embedded into the concrete around the pool and must be jackhammered out and replaced. This repair typically takes one day but can take two or more.
Main Drain Repair Cost
$1500
This is another potential repair for both your pool and spa repair cost. A main drain repair is similar to an under-deck repair but typically is embedded into the pool’s concrete shell. This is a more delicate and time-consuming repair.
Potential Long-Term Savings Through Early Detection and Repair of Leaks.
In addition to the swimming pool and spa leak repair costs, taking measures to prevent and detect leaks early may provide long-term savings. Regularly scheduling a professional inspection of the pool’s structure is essential to identify potential problems before they become expensive to repair projects. Taking proactive maintenance measures such as frequently checking the pool’s surface, equipment, and plumbing, and doing your own dye testing can also reduce costs associated with minor issues or signs of a problem before it worsens.
