What Factors Affect The Cost Of Swimming Pool Liner Replacement?
There are two main factors that influence the cost of pool liner replacement:
- Pool Surface Area
- Pool Type (Above or Inground)
The larger the pool and the greater the surface area, the more expensive liner replacement will be. This is because more liner material is required and it will take longer to install.
Above ground pool liner replacement tends to be much cheaper than for inground pools. It is much easier to access, remove and refit a liner to an above ground pool, so the labour costs are much lower here.

Is There Any Way To Reduce The Cost?
When getting a liner replacement company to come out and inspect your pool, you can discuss with them the possibility of you doing some preliminary work to help reduce costs.
For example, they may be happy for you to drain the water yourself before they arrive to carry out the vinyl liner refit. This will save them time and can result in a lower cost for you.
