Punctures and tears
Wet patches bond underwater without draining the pool, so you lose no swim days.
Pool Liner Repair and Patching
Liner repairs we make
Seam separations
A lifting seam can often be re-bonded if the surrounding vinyl still has flex in it.
Fitting leaks
Leaks at skimmers, returns and lights are usually gasket or faceplate problems, not liner problems.
Step and corner wear
High-traffic wear points get reinforced patches sized to take the abuse again.
Wrinkle assessment
Wrinkles are a symptom. We check for groundwater and floor washout before blaming the vinyl.
Leak location
If we cannot see the hole, we find it. Dye testing and pressure testing come before any patch.

Patch or replace a liner
Patch it
Vinyl is still soft and flexible, the pool is under about ten years old, and the damage is a clean, isolated tear.
Replace it
Vinyl is faded, brittle and stiff, or you have patched three times in two seasons. New tears will keep appearing.
Look deeper first
Repeated tears in the same area usually mean something behind the liner is failing. Patching that is a treadmill.

Liner repair questions
Ask us a liner repair question
How long does an underwater patch last?
On healthy vinyl, years. Often the rest of the liner life. On brittle vinyl, sometimes a single season.
Do you have to drain the pool?
Almost never, and we avoid it. Draining a vinyl pool risks shrinking the liner and floating the shell.
Will the patch be visible?
Slightly. We match pattern stock where we can, but a patch on a printed floor is never invisible.
How do I know the liner is the leak?
A bucket test compares pool loss to evaporation. If you are losing more, we come out and find the source.
What does a repair cost?
A single located patch is a modest service call. Leak detection is priced separately when the hole has to be found.
