LINER PATCH •
Pool Liner Patching in
Empire Pools provides professional vinyl pool liner patching in for
tears, punctures, seam separations, and small leaks—including underwater patching when the repair area is below the waterline.
Every patch starts with proper prep: we inspect liner condition and seam integrity, confirm the leak area, clean and prep the surface,
apply a pro-grade adhesive patch, remove bubbles, and edge-roll for a tight, low-profile seal that holds.
We also check nearby fittings/faceplates and explain chemistry targets that protect vinyl over time.
In , we commonly run routes near Merrick Road,
Sunrise Highway, Merrick Avenue, Hewlett Avenue, and Wantagh Avenue.
If you’re close to local anchors like Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve or the Merrick LIRR Station area, we can typically schedule quickly and patch cleanly without overcomplicating the job.

Liner Patching Tuned to
In backyards, temperature swings and windy weather can turn small scuffs into pinholes—especially around steps,
shallow ledges, and return fittings. We patch with placement and prep that’s designed to hold under normal brushing, vacuuming, and swimmer traffic.
homeowners count on us to work around local weather cycles so your liner looks right and stays watertight after the patch.

Liner Patch — FAQs
Can you patch a liner underwater in ?
Yes—most pinholes and small tears can be patched underwater. We prep the surface, apply a pro-grade vinyl patch, remove bubbles, and edge-roll for a tight, durable seal.
What’s the most common cause of small liner leaks?
The usual culprits are tiny punctures from sharp debris, stress at seams/corners, and wear around fittings like returns, skimmers, lights, and steps.
We inspect those zones first before placing the patch.
How long does a liner patch appointment take?
Most visits run about 45–90 minutes per repair area depending on access, whether the patch is below the waterline, and how much prep the liner needs for a clean bond.
Will the patch show on my liner?
Patches are visible up close, but we keep them neat and low-profile. We place them thoughtfully (especially on patterned liners) and roll edges to avoid lifting.
What should I avoid after the patch is installed?
Avoid aggressive brushing directly on the patch edges and keep water chemistry balanced (especially chlorine and pH) so the vinyl stays flexible and the bond lasts longer.
We’ll leave you simple care notes.
What does liner patching cost in ?
Repairs start at $285 + tax. Multiple areas, larger tears, or tricky locations are quoted on site after we assess the liner condition and access.
When is patching not the right option?
If the liner is brittle, heavily faded, repeatedly tearing at seams, or failing around multiple fittings, a patch may be temporary.
We’ll tell you straight if a bigger repair or liner replacement makes more sense.
