A small tear or pinhole doesn't always mean you need a full liner replacement. We repair above-ground and in-ground vinyl liners with professional underwater patches, seam fixes, and bead repairs that hold for years.
Not every liner problem requires a $2,000+ replacement. Many tears, pinholes, and seam separations can be repaired professionally for a fraction of the cost — buying you years of additional life from your existing liner.
Sharp objects, pool toys, or even aggressive vacuuming can puncture a liner. Small tears up to 6 inches can usually be patched underwater without draining the pool.
Factory seams can separate over time, especially on older liners. We use vinyl-to-vinyl adhesive and professional patching to reseal seams that are still structurally sound.
Liner popping out of the bead track? We reseat the bead, replace damaged track sections, and use liner lock where needed to prevent recurrence.
Leaks around the skimmer, return fittings, or light niche are often gasket failures — not liner problems. We replace the gaskets and faceplates to stop the leak without touching the liner itself.
Repair makes sense when: The liner is under 10 years old, the damage is localized (one or two tears), the vinyl is still pliable and not brittle, and the overall liner is in good shape.
Replacement is better when: The liner is 12+ years old, multiple areas are failing, the vinyl is faded/brittle and cracking, or there's significant stretching and wrinkling. In those cases, a full liner replacement is the smarter investment.
We'll always be straight with you about which option makes more sense. If a $75 patch will hold for 3+ years, we'll tell you. If the liner is on its last legs and patching is throwing money away, we'll tell you that too.
Honest diagnosis, fair pricing. We fix what's broken — nothing more.
Underwater patch repairs typically run $75-$200 depending on the size and location of the tear. Seam repairs and fitting gasket replacements are similar. Full liner replacement starts at $1,500+ if repair isn't viable.
Yes — most liner patches are done underwater using vinyl adhesive that cures in wet conditions. There's no need to drain the pool for most repairs, which saves time and protects the liner from shrinking.
A properly applied vinyl patch can last 5-10 years. We use professional-grade vinyl cement and matching patch material — not the stick-on patches from the hardware store.
Yes. We repair both above-ground and in-ground vinyl liners. Above-ground liners are especially cost-effective to repair since replacements involve more labor.
