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.

Very professional and prompt service. The team is super knowledgeable on pool repairs and properly tracked my problems and had them repaired very fast.

Patch Kit or Professional Repair?
Patch kits can mask a problem temporarily, but they rarely hold underwater.
