Restore Your Pool's Surface and Stop Leaks

Vinyl Pool Liner Installation and Replacement in Lakeland

Vinyl liners in Lakeland pools fade, wrinkle, and tear over time from sun exposure, chemical imbalance, and daily use. When the liner starts leaking or looks worn, Florida Aquascapes replaces it with a new liner that fits properly, restores the pool's appearance, and prevents water loss.


The process involves draining the pool, removing the old liner, inspecting the walls and floor for damage, and installing a new liner that is measured and cut to fit your pool's exact shape. Liners are available in different patterns, thicknesses, and textures, and proper installation prevents wrinkles and ensures the liner sits flat against the walls and floor. A well-installed liner extends the life of the pool and improves swimmer comfort by eliminating rough spots and uneven surfaces.


If your pool in Lakeland, Eagle Lake, Plant City or a neighboring community has a faded, leaking, or damaged liner, contact Florida Aquascapes to schedule a replacement.

How Liner Replacement Improves Your Pool

The pool is drained and the old liner is carefully removed without damaging the walls or floor underneath. The surface is inspected for rust, cracks, or foam deterioration, and any issues are repaired before the new liner is installed. The liner is unfolded, positioned, and secured along the top edge, then vacuumed into place to remove air pockets and ensure a tight fit.


Once the new liner is installed, you'll see brighter colors, a smoother surface, and no more leaks or wrinkles. The pool holds water properly again, and the risk of punctures or tears from rough spots is reduced. A properly fitted liner also makes cleaning easier because dirt and algae don't collect in folds or gaps.


Liners are available in different thicknesses, with heavier gauges lasting longer in high-use pools. Patterns range from solid blue to tile or stone looks, and textured liners provide better grip on steps and benches. The liner is the pool's waterproof barrier, so proper installation affects how long it lasts and how well the pool functions.

Questions Homeowners Ask About Liners

Most homeowners want to know how long a liner lasts, what causes damage, and how to choose the right replacement.

How long does a vinyl pool liner last?
Most liners last seven to twelve years depending on sun exposure, chemical balance, and maintenance. Thicker liners and proper water chemistry extend lifespan.
What causes vinyl liners to leak?
Leaks are usually caused by tears, punctures, or seam failure. Sun damage and low water levels can also weaken the liner and cause cracks along the waterline.
How is a liner measured and installed?
The pool's dimensions are measured, and the liner is custom-cut to fit. It's positioned in the pool, secured along the top rail, and vacuumed into place to remove wrinkles and air pockets.
What liner thickness should I choose?
Standard liners are 20 to 27 mils thick, while heavy-duty liners are 28 to 30 mils. Thicker liners resist punctures better and last longer in pools with heavy use or rough surfaces.
Why do liners wrinkle after installation?
Wrinkles form when the liner isn't vacuumed properly during installation or when water chemistry causes the material to shrink. Proper fitting and balanced water prevent this.

A new vinyl liner installed by Florida Aquascapes in Lakeland stops leaks, restores the pool's appearance, and makes swimming more comfortable. You'll notice the difference immediately when the water stays clear and the surface feels smooth.
