How Much Does Swimming Pool Repair Cost?

September 15, 2020

Having your own backyard pool isn’t just relaxing, it also brings a ton of great benefits! That is, of course, unless it springs a leak or has another problem.

If this happens, your source of happiness can quickly turn into a stressful situation. After all swimming pool repair is super expensive – right?

Not necessarily! Here’s what you need to know about pool repair costs.

Common Swimming Pool Repair Needs

Whenever you buy something, whether it’s a new car, a major appliance, or a swimming pool, it’s a good idea to know what could potentially go wrong and how much of a hassle it will be to repair it. Here are some of the most common reasons you might need inground swimming pool repair.

Pump and Motor Replacement

If your pool pump and motor go out, you’ll notice that the water appears murky. You may also get low-pressure readings, or the pump may become very noisy and/or start to leak.

This is one of the simple pool repairs you should be able to do yourself. A new pump and motor will likely cost you somewhere around $140 to $250.

If you have to hire someone to put it in, you’ll have to pay labor costs as well. The national average for this service is typically around $85 an hour. One the low end, you can expect to pay between $65 and $80 and on the high end between $95 and $120.

Heater Replacement

Have you noticed that your pool takes a long time to heat up, or isn’t heating up at all? You might have a problem with your pool heater.

If your pool heater starts to go bad, you could be looking at an expensive repair. But that depends on the type of heater you use. For example, you can install solar panels for about $80 while a natural gas heater could run you over $4,000.

Filter Replacement

Not only is it easy to replace your pool’s filter, but it’s an important maintenance task. A new filter will run you anywhere between $150 and $1,000.

You’ll know you need a new filter if you’re noticing that the pressure keeps increasing. Obvious signs of wear—like frayed or ripped pleats, crushed materials, or cracked end caps are also signs that you’re overdue for a replacement.

Liner Replacement

Is your pool losing water? Have you noticed that your liner is wrinkled, has rips, or is faded, stained, or cracked? It’s probably time for a new one!

Repairing a pool liner is a job you’ll want to leave to the pros, so you’ll have to pay labor costs. In addition, the liner itself will run you somewhere in the range of $300 to $700.

Skimmer Replacement

Although proper maintenance can help prevent problems with your pool skimmer, this is a common pool repair. How much does it cost to replace pool skimmer? Anywhere from $50 to $300, plus labor costs.

Prepare for a Pool Emergency

Now that you know the average cost of a swimming pool repair, you can start putting away a bit of extra cash to cover an unexpected pool emergency.

Don’t worry, though, we’ve got lots of money tips to help you take control of your finances. Take a look through a few more of our blog posts now!
