Pool Liner Replacement & Repair in Lexington, SC

Your vinyl pool liner is what keeps water in your pool and protects the underlying structure. Over time, liners fade, become brittle, develop leaks, and lose their elasticity. When that happens, you’re dealing with water loss, potential structural damage, and a pool that doesn’t look or feel right.

Sands Pool Care provides professional vinyl liner repair and replacement services in Lexington, SC and the Midlands. Whether you need a small patch or a complete liner replacement, we’ll assess your situation honestly and get the job done right.

Signs Your Pool Liner Needs Attention

• Visible cracks, tears, or holes in the liner
• Fading or discoloration that won’t clean up
• Wrinkles or stretching, especially along the floor and walls
• Water loss that points to a liner leak rather than plumbing
• Liner pulling away from the track or bead at the top edge
• Staining that chemical treatment can’t remove
• The liner is more than 10–15 years old

Liner Patching & Spot Repair

Not every liner problem requires a full replacement. Small tears, punctures, and minor seam separations can often be patched effectively, extending the life of your existing liner by several years. We use underwater-rated vinyl patch materials that bond securely and hold up over time.

Patching is a good option when the liner is still in overall good condition and the damage is localized. We’ll inspect the full liner and give you an honest recommendation.

Full Liner Replacement

When a liner has reached the end of its useful life — widespread cracking, multiple leaks, severe fading, or loss of elasticity — replacement is the best path forward. A new liner restores your pool’s appearance, eliminates leaks, and protects the shell underneath.

We handle the full process: draining the pool, removing the old liner, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure if needed, and installing the new liner with proper fit and finish. We work with a range of liner patterns and thicknesses to match your pool and your preferences.

When to Repair vs. Replace

If your liner is under 8–10 years old and has a single tear or small area of damage, a patch is usually the smart choice. If the liner is older, has multiple problem areas, or is showing widespread wear, replacement will save you money in the long run compared to repeated repairs.

We’ll lay out both options with clear pricing so you can make an informed decision.

Leak Detection Around Liners

Liner leaks aren’t always obvious. Sometimes the water loss is slow and the damage isn’t visible. We use dye testing and visual inspection to locate liner leaks precisely, including around fittings, seams, and areas where the liner meets the pool wall. Accurate detection means we repair only what’s needed — no guesswork.
