If you own a villa in Ciudad Quesada, chances are you have a pool. And if that pool is 15 or 20 years old — like most in the area — chances are it needs some serious attention.
We work in Quesada all year round, and pool refurbishments are one of our most common jobs in spring and summer. Here’s what can be done, what it costs, and the warning signs that your pool is due for a renovation.
Quesada pools share a common story
Most pools in Ciudad Quesada were built between the 1980s and 2000, together with the villas themselves. That means we almost always find the same picture:
- Original mosaic tiling (gresite) worn out, with loose tiles or rough patches
- Artificial stone coping cracked or faded by the sun
- An ageing pump and filter that costs a fortune to run and filters poorly
- Small leaks quietly inflating your water bill
- Old halogen lights instead of modern LED
None of these problems means rebuilding the pool from scratch. A proper refurbishment leaves the pool looking brand new for a fraction of the cost of a new build.
Pool renovation prices in Ciudad Quesada (2026)
| Job | Guide price | Timescale |
|---|---|---|
| New mosaic tiling (8x4m pool) | €4,500 - €7,500 | 2-3 weeks |
| New coping (stone or porcelain) | €1,800 - €3,500 | 1 week |
| New filtration system, installed | €1,200 - €2,500 | 2-3 days |
| Salt water chlorination conversion | €1,500 - €2,800 | 2-3 days |
| LED lighting (2-4 lights) | €600 - €1,400 | 1-2 days |
| Full refurbishment (all of the above) | €9,000 - €16,000 | 3-5 weeks |
What a full refurbishment includes:
- Draining and deep cleaning of the shell
- Crack repair and leak treatment
- New mosaic tiling (wide range of colours and finishes)
- New non-slip coping
- New filtration system sized to the actual pool volume
- Energy-efficient LED lights
Signs your pool needs renovating
- You’re losing water: topping up more than 3-5 cm per week (beyond evaporation) means there’s a leak
- The tiling feels sharp or rough: lifted tiles are guaranteed cut feet
- The water is hard work to keep clean: an old filter forces you to use far more chemicals
- Stains that won’t shift: black or ochre stains on the bottom usually mean the lining has reached the end of its life
- The coping burns your feet: old stone stores heat; modern coping stays cool
Is salt water chlorination worth it?
It’s the upgrade we get asked about most in Quesada, especially by British and Scandinavian clients who are used to it back home. Short answer: yes, almost always.
- The water doesn’t smell of chlorine or irritate eyes and skin
- Weekly maintenance drops dramatically
- Chemical costs fall by 70-80%
- You add salt once or twice a year — that’s it
The investment pays for itself within 2-3 seasons on chlorine savings alone.
When to renovate: the smart calendar
The best time to renovate a pool in Quesada is October to April:
- The pool isn’t in use, so the work doesn’t disrupt anything
- Our schedule has more availability (summer books up completely)
- The pool is ready to enjoy from May
If you contact us in summer, we can do the survey and have the whole project agreed and booked to start as soon as the season ends.
