Longevity - In Ground Vinyl Liner Swimming Pools

In ground vinyl liner swimming pools will last ten to twenty years before most will require an extensive renovation including leak detections, pipe repairs, coping and liner replacement, pump and filter replacement. At the time of renovation the pool will likely last for another ten to twenty years with proper care and maintenance. The quality of the installation will likely dictate how long your pool will last before requiring extensive repair or experiencing structural failure.



Vinyl liners are susceptible to damage and are costly to replace. Replacement cost for your vinyl liner will be approximately 10% the total cost of your pool installation. A $40,000 vinyl pool installation would likely cost in the range of $4000 to replace the liner should it get damaged beyond what a quick patch can repair. This is moderately better than the 15% to 20% to be expected for concrete pool resurfacing, however a vinyl liner will require replacement more often than a concrete pool will need to be resurfaced.
