Pool Liners

[SamuiHomemadeFood]

Greetings all. I have a friend who is computer illiterate, hence me asking here, that has a small fountain pool with a leaking pool liner. He needs to patch it if this is possible ? maybe around the 1 X 1 metre. any ideas on whether he can do it this way or will it require a whole new liner. Cheers in advance S-H-F

Hi, we just tried replacing a liner on Ekamai Soi 22 (pictures on our site - look for "liner repair")

unfortunately, the underlying structure was gone, so the project turned into a major repair renovation. There is always uncertainty when replacing a liner, no telling what we will find under it. When in doubt (even if it costs us a large job) we recommend trying to patch first. You might try patching with a fiberglass repair kit that auto body shops use. I think you can also pick up fiberglass and resin at any Home Pro. Send us pictures, we can look at the issue for you.

Best,

Gil

Pictures of what we discovered upon removal of the liner...will post after pictures in about 3 weeks...

These pictures give a good sense of what happens when the client is not around during construction...

Here is the final product after the liner removal, and re-build. About 3 weeks start to finish including all new piping, pump, filter, etc.

Shocking job by whoever built the pool originally.

Can anybody give me a rough price to replace a liner 3.5 m by 2 m. Cheers It also has a 80cm by 80 cm fountain and 2 30cm by 1.7 steps if that is important ? Cheers
