Pool Liner Replacement in Aurora, IL
Aqua Vida Custom Pools replaces vinyl liners throughout Aurora, IL. Aurora is the largest city we serve and its pools span the widest age range, from newer builds in the Fox Valley Villages to east-side pools that are decades old. On the older ones the liner is rarely the only thing that needs attention, which is why the base and walls are assessed the day the old liner comes out rather than after the new one is already going in.
What pool liner replacement looks like in Aurora
What is under an old liner is the part nobody can quote in advance, and pretending otherwise is how liner jobs go wrong. On a pool that has been leaking slowly for years, the floor beneath the vinyl has been washing out and the walls may have rusted where water sat against them. Both are fixable and neither is visible until the liner is off, so we look before setting anything and tell you what we found.
The upside on an older Aurora pool is that the drained window is the cheapest access you will ever get. Main drain fittings, return eyeballs, the light niche, and the skimmer throats are all reachable with the water gone, and doing that work now costs a fraction of doing it as its own project later. A liner replacement on a thirty-year-old pool is really a chance to reset everything the water normally hides.
What's included
On-site measurement and custom liner order
Draining the pool and removing the old liner
Inspecting and rebuilding the floor base and wall panels
Replacing skimmer, return, and light gaskets
Setting the new liner with vacuum and seating the bead
Refill, equipment restart, and full water balancing
Liner price depends on pool size and depth, liner thickness and pattern, shape, and what the floor and wall panels need once the old liner is out. That last part is only visible after draining, so we measure first and confirm your exact price before ordering.
Pool Liner Replacement FAQs for Aurora, IL
We tell you before setting the new one and price the repair then. Floor washouts and wall rust are common on pools that have been losing water slowly, and both are straightforward to fix while everything is exposed. Setting a new liner over a compromised base is how you end up paying for the job twice.
Ten to fifteen years is typical. Where you land depends far more on water chemistry and how well the winter cover fits than on the liner itself. Water held chronically below 7.2 pH thins and hardens vinyl noticeably faster.
