Pool Liner Patching in
Empire Pools repairs vinyl liner tears and pinholes in — from backyard pools near the Route 112 corridor
and Medford’s residential side streets to areas closer to NY-347 and the Patchogue–Yaphank roadway network. Open, sunny yards and more
sheltered, tree-lined backyards can stress older vinyl differently (seams, corners, step areas, and fittings).
We plan each repair around your yard access, sun pattern, and water conditions, then handle precise surface prep,
underwater patching with professional adhesives, and careful edge rolling for a clean, long-lasting seal.

We time patching and surface prep around your site conditions and verify fittings, faceplates, and liner seams before we seal.

Liner Patch — FAQs
Can you patch a liner underwater?
Yes. Most vinyl liner patches in are completed underwater using professional adhesives and firm edge rolling so the patch bonds flat.
Do you need to drain the pool for a patch?
Usually no. We patch with the pool full. If the tear is right at a step or faceplate and a small level adjustment helps, we’ll explain it before doing anything.
How long does a liner patch appointment take?
Most jobs run about 45–90 minutes per area, depending on location (floor vs. wall vs. step seam) and the condition of the surrounding vinyl.
Will the patch be noticeable?
We keep the profile low and place patches cleanly. On patterned liners we align placement to help it blend; you’ll still see it up close, but it should look neat.
How durable is a vinyl liner patch?
If the surrounding vinyl is healthy and chemistry is balanced, patches can last multiple seasons. If the liner is brittle or shrinking, we’ll tell you honestly if a patch is only a short-term fix.
What does liner patching cost in Medford?
Repairs start at $285 + tax. Multiple areas, large tears, or seam repairs are quoted on site after we assess the liner condition and access.
