If your inground pool's vinyl liner is leaking, torn, faded, or pulling away from the wall, we replace it, start to finish. A typical replacement runs around $8,000, and we will tell you honestly whether a new liner or a more permanent surface is the right call for your pool.
Your Pool Surface
The Service
Full vinyl liner replacement means draining the pool, removing the old failing liner, fitting a new custom liner to your pool's exact shape, then refilling and getting your water balanced. We handle the complete job, not a patch. Here is the sequence you can expect. First, we measure your pool and order a liner made specifically for its dimensions. Then we drain the pool and pull out the old liner. Before the new liner goes in, we inspect the wall and floor carefully, because a new liner is only as good as the surface behind it, and any problem hiding back there needs to be addressed while we have access to it. Once the wall and floor are sound and smooth, we fit and set the new custom liner to your pool's shape. Finally, we refill the pool, balance the water, and you are back to swimming.
How We Do It
That principle shapes how we approach every liner replacement. It would be easy to drain the pool, pull out the old liner, and stretch a new one in as fast as possible. But a liner fitted over a soft spot, an uneven floor, or a rough wall is a liner that will wear unevenly and fail early. We take the time to get the surface right before the new liner goes in, because that is what makes the difference between a liner that lasts and one that gives you problems again in a few seasons. We are local to the Kansas City area, and the team that installs your liner is the team that would come back if something needed attention. That is a real accountability. We do the prep right the first time because we are the ones who would have to return if we did not.
Before anything new goes in, we assess the pool's wall and floor once the old liner is out. That is when you see what was hiding underneath. We check for soft spots, surface damage, or anything that would compromise the fit or wear of the new liner. If we find something that needs attention, we address it while the pool is open, not after the new liner covers it up.
The new liner is made to fit your specific pool's shape and dimensions exactly. We set it, secure it to the wall, and confirm it is seated right before we start filling. Once the pool is full, we balance the water chemistry so it is safe and ready. From there, you are swimming.
Because we are based in the Kansas City area, the same crew that handles your liner is the team you could call back. Chris and the crew will not cut corners on prep because they know they are the ones on the hook if they did. That is a simple accountability that shapes how every job gets done.
Why Probuilt
Our team is based in Riverside, MO, about 30 minutes from most of the Kansas City metro. The crew that replaces your liner is the crew that would come back. That proximity matters when you need accountability, not a call center.
We inspect and prepare the wall and floor before the new liner goes in. A liner is only as good as what it sits against, so we do that step properly rather than skipping it to save time.
Probuilt Renovations is backed by 10 years of Kansas City pool experience under the parent team, Probuilt Pool & Patio. That depth of local pool work means we have seen most of what a failing liner can hide.
We will tell you when a new liner is the right move and when a more permanent surface would serve you better. This is a small, family-run operation, and we would rather you do it once correctly than come back frustrated.
Cost and Warranty
A full vinyl liner replacement for an inground pool typically runs around $8,000. That is a typical figure, not a fixed price and not a quote. The real number depends on your pool: its size and shape, the condition of the wall and floor behind the old liner, and any repairs we find once the old liner is out. The only way to get your actual number is a free, no-pressure quote. On timeline: most liner replacements involve about a week of active work. The full job, including measuring, ordering the custom liner, installing it, refilling, and balancing the water, typically lands in the two-to-four-week range depending on scope and weather. Because the liner is made to fit your specific pool, the manufacturing lead time is part of that total. We will give you a realistic timeline during your quote so you know when to plan around your pool being out of service. One honest note worth raising here: if your pool's shell is failing, or if you are facing your second or third liner replacement in a short period, a more permanent surface may be the better use of your money over time. We will tell you if that is your situation, and we will point you to our gunite and fiberglass pool refinishing service or the ecoFINISH® polymer coating as the alternatives worth considering. We would rather give you the full picture than sell you a liner that is not the right long-term call for your pool.

Common Questions
A full inground vinyl liner replacement typically runs around $8,000. That is a typical figure that varies by pool size, shape, and the condition of the wall and floor behind the liner, plus any repairs found once the old liner is out.

The most common signs are steady water loss you keep topping off, tears or holes at corners, steps, or fittings, a faded or bleached waterline that cleaning will not fix, wrinkles or the liner pulling away from the wall, staining that will not come clean, and a liner that is simply old and has gone stiff or brittle. One important note: if you are losing water but cannot see an obvious tear, it may be a crack in the shell or a plumbing leak rather than the liner itself. That is worth diagnosing before fitting a new liner over a problem that will persist. We can point you to our pool leak detection and crack repair service if that sounds like your situation.
Most liner replacements involve about a week of active work. The full job, including measuring your pool, ordering the custom-fit liner, installation, refilling, and water balancing, typically lands in the two-to-four-week range depending on scope and weather. The liner is made to fit your specific pool, so its manufacturing lead time is part of that total. We will give you a realistic timeline when we quote your project.
A new liner is the right move for many inground pools, and it is what we will recommend when it fits your situation. But if the shell itself is failing, if you are on your second or third liner in a short span, or if you want a surface that does not get replaced on a cycle, refinishing the shell or choosing a polymer surface like ecoFINISH may serve you better over the long run. We will tell you honestly which fits your pool. You can learn more about the shell-refinishing option on our gunite and fiberglass pool refinishing page, or read about the ecoFINISH polymer coating on its service page.
