How much exactly will it cost to build an 8x4 pool in 2026?
Breakdown of Costs by Category
Excavation and soil removal cost between 2,000 and 4,500 euros, depending on the type of terrain, accessibility for machinery, and distance to the disposal site. On rocky terrain, this can exceed 5,000 euros. This includes the transportation and disposal of the excavated soil.
The shotcrete and rebar structure costs between 5,000 and 9,000 euros, which is the largest expense of the project. This includes the supply of rebar, its installation, and the shotcrete work. Pools with curves or complex shapes are more expensive than rectangular ones.
The installation of filtration equipment, a pump, skimmers, drains, and return jets costs between 3,000 and 6,000 euros. If a salt chlorinator is included, an additional 900 to 1,500 euros must be added.
The waterproof lining is the item with the greatest variation in cost depending on the material chosen. Epoxy paint costs 1,500 to 2,500 euros but requires repainting every 3 to 5 years. Ceramic mosaic tiles cost 3,500 to 5,500 euros and require periodic grout maintenance. Reinforced PVC sheeting costs 4,000 to 7,000 euros, comes with a warranty of over 20 years, and has no joints to maintain. Microcement or resin costs 4,500 to 7,000 euros and offers a more delicate finish.
The 2-meter-wide perimeter flooring around the pool costs between 2,500 and 5,000 euros, using non-slip porcelain tile, natural stone, or stamped concrete, at a price per square meter of 20 to 60 euros.
Additional costs include the technical design and municipal permit, ranging from 600 to 1,500 euros, which is mandatory in many municipalities. A stainless steel ladder or integrated steps cost between 400 and 800 euros. An isothermal cover with a reel costs between 800 and 1,500 euros. Underwater LED lighting costs between 300 and 800 euros, and automation and home automation systems cost between 500 and 2,000 euros.
Approximate total budget
A basic pool with epoxy paint costs between 13,000 and 20,000 euros. A standard pool with mosaic tiles costs between 18,000 and 27,000 euros. A premium pool with reinforced liner costs between 20,000 and 32,000 euros.
Prices may vary by 15 to 25% depending on the province in Spain where you build, with Madrid, Catalonia, and the Basque Country being the most expensive regions compared to Andalusia, Murcia, or the Valencian Community. Although the initial cost of reinforced membrane is slightly higher than that of mosaic tiles, its total cost over 20 years is lower because it does not require periodic grouting or increased use of chemicals.
