Vinyl Pool Liner Repair
Most vinyl pool liner damage — tears and failing seams — can be repaired without draining the pool, at a fraction of the cost of a new liner. Registered and family-owned, our PADI- and TDI-certified team works underwater to patch tears and reseal seams with minimal disruption to your swim season. Repairs come with a 1-year warranty. We carry a full range of patch materials and handle everything from a single pinhole to full corner reconstruction.
Our Liner Repair Services
Underwater Patching
We apply a heavy-duty commercial adhesive made to bond underwater and cut-to-fit vinyl patches directly in the water — no draining required for most repairs. Fast and minimally disruptive.
Tear Repair
Rips and punctures from pool toys, sharp objects, or animal claws can grow quickly once water gets underneath the liner. We prep the surface and apply a flush patch that bonds to the liner for a lasting seal.
Seam Repair
Factory seams and field-welded seams both fail over time — typically due to UV exposure, chemical imbalance, or age. A failing seam is one of the most common sources of liner leaks. We re-bond and reinforce the seam to restore a watertight seal.
Corner Repair
Corner creases — especially on step units — concentrate stress and are prone to pinhole leaks and small tears. We repair and reinforce these high-stress areas to prevent recurring damage.
Liner Color Matching
We partner with pool suppliers to source vinyl — which means we can often match the patch to your existing liner's pattern and color. Most repair companies apply a plain white patch and call it done. We take the extra step to source material that blends with your liner, so the repair is less visible and the pool looks right.
Exact color matching depends on liner age and manufacturer availability.
Do You Need to Drain the Pool?
For the majority of vinyl liner patches — including tears, seam repairs, and underwater patches — we work in the water. No draining, no disruption to your swim season.
When draining is needed — for structural corner repairs — we only ever lower the water partway. We never fully empty the pool, because a dry vinyl liner can shrink and crack. We'll tell you exactly what's needed before we start.
