Vinyl Pool Repair — From People Who Specialize in This.

Why Pool Patchers

Founded in Hickory — read our story.

Vinyl Repair Specialists

We specialize in vinyl pools — no replacements, no plumbing, no decking. Specialization means faster diagnosis and longer-lasting fixes.

Trained to Work Underwater

Most repairs happen below the waterline — no draining required. Our team is PADI- and TDI-certified and trained by a retired Navy EOD diver, so underwater patching is second nature. We use heavy-duty commercial adhesives built to bond and hold underwater.

Above-Ground & In-Ground

We repair both above-ground and in-ground vinyl pools — same expertise, same all-inclusive rate, whichever kind you have.

We Work All Winter

Winter leaks don't wait, and neither do we. Even when it's snowing, we're getting in the water — we repair year-round, not just in season.

Most Repairs in One Visit

The majority of vinyl liner tears, patches, and seam repairs are done the same day. We arrive ready for the full repair.

Transparent, Flat Hourly Rate

$185/hr cash price or $190/hr card price — Labor, Parts, Travel, and Taxes are included in the rate.

Liner-Match Advantage

We partner with pool suppliers to source vinyl, so we can often match the patch to your existing liner pattern and color — not just cover it with a generic, mismatched patch.

Family-Owned & Accountable

When you call, you reach us — not a call center. We stand behind every repair and want to be the pool service your neighbors recommend.

Patch Kit or Professional Repair?

Patch kits can mask a problem temporarily, but they rarely hold underwater.
