The pool liner is the finishing touch that gives your swimming pool its ultimate character. Today, you can choose from much more than just classic blue shades – we offer modern patterns that perfectly replicate natural stone, sand, or elegant marble. Premium 3D textured liners are also available, providing a unique, luxurious tactile feel. Ultimately, the most important decision is the color, as it will define the entire ambiance of your outdoor space.

 

  • Custom-Fit Precision Cutting and Welding of Pool Liners

  • Wide Selection of Modern Colors and Patterns for Pool Liners

  • Superior Waterproofing and 100% Leak-Proof Pool Liners

 

💡 Expert Tip: It is completely normal that the true color of your pool is only revealed once it is filled with water. Due to water depth and light refraction, the liner's color "comes to life" quite differently than it appears on a dry sample. For example, sand and beige-toned liners create a stunning turquoise sea color, while lighter grey shades give the water that highly sought-after, crystal-clear modern blue look.

Longevity & Easy Care

Long-lasting durability and easy maintenance of pool liners

We exclusively use premium multi-layered, reinforced pool liners that are factory-tested for long-term exposure to intense sunlight, UV radiation, and pool chemicals.

 

The main advantage of these modern materials is an additional protective layer of acrylic varnish. This layer acts as an invisible barrier, preventing the oils and grease from sunscreens and tanning lotions (frequently used by guests) from penetrating deep into the liner's structure.

 

While it is entirely natural for a waterline to show some signs of use over time, this advanced technology ensures that dirt and oils do not bond with the material. This allows you to clean the waterline much faster, easier, and with far less effort compared to older pool systems. A high-quality liner like this retains its strength, color, and elasticity for years, ensuring your pool remains immaculately clean with minimal need for harsh cleaning chemicals.

Ideal solution for new and existing pools

Professional swimming pool liner installation

Installing a swimming pool liner is one of the fastest and most reliable ways to ensure your pool is completely waterproof. Unlike tiles, the liner perfectly adapts to any shape and dimension, eliminating the risk of cracked grout or loose tiles. This process is especially popular for renovating old concrete pools that leak, as the liner can be installed directly onto the existing surface with minimal preparation.

Our experts use precision heat-welding techniques to achieve a seamless surface, ensuring that your pool liner installation results in a pool ready for use in record time.

  • Fast execution: Installing a liner takes significantly less time than tiling, meaning a quicker return to swimming.

  • Design flexibility: The ideal solution for irregular pool shapes, Roman steps, and internal corners.

  • Reliable renovation: The best choice for repairing leaking concrete pools without the need for heavy demolition.

A Fast and Effective Way to Renovate Your Pool

Pool Liner Replacement

For years, your pool has been the center of summer fun, but are you noticing the liner has lost its original color, feels rough to the touch, or worse, the pool is losing water? Don't worry, this is completely normal. Even the highest-quality PVC liners eventually succumb to the effects of UV rays, pool chemicals, and minor mechanical wear and tear.

The good news is that replacing your pool liner is the fastest and most cost-effective way to completely renovate your pool, without the need for heavy construction work and weeks of noise in your backyard!

Why shouldn't you delay replacing your old pool liner?

 

  • 100% Reliable Waterproofing: A new liner resolves all micro-cracks and leaks. This protects the pool's concrete structure from further deterioration and expensive repairs.

  • Superior Hygiene and Easier Maintenance: Over time, old, porous liners become an ideal breeding ground for algae and bacteria. A new, perfectly smooth surface makes cleaning significantly easier and reduces chemical consumption.

  • A Completely New Look: This is your chance for a redesign! Switch from classic blue to a modern grey, an elegant sand color, or choose an attractive 3D mosaic pattern. Your old pool can look like it was built yesterday.

  • Increased Property Value: If you rent out a villa or a holiday home, a modern and impeccably clean pool directly leads to better reviews and more bookings.

 

The experts at Arbeto Pools will carefully remove the old liner, prepare the surface, and precisely weld and install a new, top-quality PVC liner. Breathe new life into your pool in time and be ready for the swimming season!

FAQ

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

Installing a reinforced pool liner is currently the fastest and safest method for finishing a swimming pool. Compared to traditional ceramics, it offers three key advantages:

  • 100% Waterproofing: It creates a perfectly secure, watertight barrier that completely eliminates the risk of leaks.

  • Easy Maintenance (No Grout): Unlike tiles, liners do not have grout lines where algae, dirt, and bacteria can accumulate over time. Cleaning is significantly faster and easier.

  • Elasticity and Stability: Thanks to its flexibility, a liner can easily withstand micro soil movements and terrain settling without cracking—a common and expensive issue with ceramic tiles.

Installing a reinforced pool liner is a remarkably fast and efficient process. For a standard new swimming pool (for example, a popular 8x4 meter size), the entire installation typically takes only 1 to 2 working days.

This timeframe covers the complete, ready-to-fill service:

  • Detailed preparation and cleaning of the concrete pool shell

  • Installation of the protective antibacterial geotextile underlayment

  • Precision cutting and heat welding of the reinforced membrane

  • Final inspection and testing of all seams before filling the pool with water

Pricing depends on the pool's surface area, the complexity of its shape (e.g., Roman steps, irregular angles), the condition of the substrate, and the chosen thickness and design of the liner. Since every project is unique, we offer a free, no-obligation quote after reviewing your blueprints or conducting an on-site inspection.

Maintaining a modern reinforced pool liner is surprisingly easy if you follow two basic routines:

  • Weekly Maintenance (During the Season): We recommend lightly wiping the waterline (the edge where sunscreens, body oils, and dust accumulate) once a week. Use only a soft sponge and, if necessary, a specialized pool liner cleaner.

  • Annual Maintenance: The entire underwater pool surface only needs a thorough cleaning once a year, typically during the regular spring opening and preparation before the swimming season begins.

⚠️ Important Warning: Never use abrasive scrubbers (like the rough side of a kitchen sponge) or harsh household chemicals, as this will permanently scratch and damage the smooth, protective acrylic coating of your liner!

Not directly, but they do require some attention. The modern reinforced liners we install feature a special protective acrylic coating (varnish) that successfully prevents the deep absorption of cosmetic oils and greases into the material's structure.

However, to preserve the flawless appearance of your pool long-term, it is important to know the following:

  • Regular waterline wiping: Oils from sunscreens float and accumulate at the water's edge. Regular, gentle wiping prevents these oils (when combined with limescale and intense sunlight) from "baking" onto the surface and creating dark stains.

  • Gentle cleaning only: Never use rough brushes, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh chemicals to remove these oils! Scrubbing will permanently scratch and destroy the liner's most important feature—its protective acrylic layer.

Yes, safety is our absolute priority. We install a specialized anti-slip liner on all tread surfaces (steps, underwater benches, and shallow areas) as a standard practice. This liner features a specially designed textured relief that prevents slipping even when fully submerged, ensuring maximum safety and peace of mind for you and your guests when entering and exiting the pool.

Proper winterization is crucial for the longevity of your pool liner. The golden rule you must remember is: A pool should never be completely emptied for the winter! The water acts as a heavy weight that keeps the liner perfectly in place and protects the concrete shell from groundwater pressure.

The correct protection procedure involves a few simple steps:

  • Lowering the water: The water level must be lowered below the skimmers and upper return jets.

  • Ice compensators: Anti-freeze floats are placed in the water to absorb the expanding pressure of freezing ice, preventing damage to the liner and pool walls.

  • Winterizing chemicals: A specialized winter treatment is added to the water to prevent algae growth and limescale buildup during the off-season.

  • Winter cover: Finally, the pool is secured with a protective winter cover that shields the water from debris, leaves, and UV radiation.

The most obvious signs are faded colors, stubborn stains above the waterline, a stiff texture (the liner has lost its elasticity), and, of course, unexplained water loss. If your liner is older than 10 to 15 years, it's time for a detailed inspection and replacement.

Absolutely! That’s the biggest advantage of this renovation. The old liner is completely removed, and you can choose from our wide range of modern colors, textures, and 3D patterns to give your backyard a completely new look.
