Best Pool Repair Kits of 2026

"I accidentally tore my brand new pool liner, but this kit made the repair simple and effective. The patch held up perfectly with no leaks after refilling the pool, and the glue dried fast. I’m really satisfied with the results and glad I didn’t have to buy a new liner."

"After trying several other products that failed in the heat, I found this patch kit to be reliable and durable. The adhesive was a bit tricky to apply, but once set, the patch became part of my hot tub and hasn’t leaked since. Definitely worth the investment."

"I used this kit to seal a leak on my inflatable paddle board, and it worked better than expected. The repair was quick and held strong, allowing me to get back on the water right away. It’s more than just a quick fix!"

"I was impressed by how well this tape sticks, even on damp surfaces. The adhesive feels tough and creates a solid seal once you press it down firmly. I even tried it underwater and it performed better than I expected. The tape is flexible and contours around curves with no issues. It's definitely a great emergency repair solution for quick fixes, though I wouldn't rely on it for permanent jobs."

"If you need a tape that's incredibly sticky—almost like fly paper—this is it. I found it works even in wet conditions. Just make sure to get this specific waterproof version, because the other T-Rex tapes aren't quite the same. Once you press it down, it stays put and won't budge. It reminds me a bit of Alien Tape in terms of stickiness."

"Although many people recommended this for underwater use, I found that it doesn't always stick well underwater, even when the surface is carefully prepared. For my project, it just wouldn’t hold in place, so I had to switch brands. It might work for other uses, but underwater adhesion wasn't strong enough for me."

"I liked that this kit made it easy to spot the dye in my pool and helped me track down a slow leak in my spa. The fluorescent yellow-green color is very visible, and the kit includes plenty of dye with two different syringes. While I initially struggled because I didn’t dispense the dye close enough to the suspected leak, I’m confident that with a more precise approach, I’ll find the exact spot."

"I was really impressed by how visible and straightforward this dye was to use. Locating the leak was quick and simple, and I found the product to be very effective for my needs."

"This kit is a great value compared to hiring a professional. I used to pay $260 for leak detection, but with this dye kit and a little pool epoxy, I was able to find and fix the leak myself in about an hour."

"I used this on my inflatable paddleboard and raft and was really pleased with the results. After letting it cure overnight, the small crack was completely sealed—even at high pressure, no leak! The glue is flexible, easy to use, and a great value since it fixed more than one item for me."

"This product was my last hope for saving an air mattress that kept losing air. I followed the instructions carefully, and it worked perfectly—the mattress has stayed fully inflated after several uses. I would definitely recommend it for anyone needing a reliable fix."

"With a lake house full of rafts, paddle boards, and floats, this kit has fixed everything we've needed. Once cured, the patch stays flexible and never peels off—even works on kayaks and tubes. Highly recommend for multi-purpose repairs."

"After losing over 10 gallons a day, I decided to pull the filters and pour in an entire bottle. It completely stopped the leak—not a drop lost since! While I’m not sure if this is a permanent fix, it’s worked impressively so far. When a small leak returned after about three weeks, I used another bottle and will keep an eye on it. Just be sure to have spare filters, since mine clogged after treatment."

"I tried several methods to fix my 600-gallon fiberglass hot tub’s leak, but nothing worked—including this product. Unfortunately, the leak remained unchanged for me. However, I’ve seen positive results from others, so it may work depending on your situation."

"I was skeptical at first, but after following some YouTube advice and giving it more time, the product actually sealed a leak from a faulty gasket inside my pump motor. I had to try it twice, but eventually, everything was dry and the leak was gone. It took longer than the instructions suggested, but it did the job."

"This patch kit absolutely rescued my inflatable pool. The material feels really strong and waterproof, and I was able to easily cut it to the exact size I needed. It adhered perfectly, even under water pressure. Definitely a must-have for anyone needing quick repairs!"

"I tried this patch on a big tear in my inflatable Halloween spider, and it’s held up amazingly well, even after heavy rain and wind. I used a piece inside and outside, let it cure overnight as instructed, and it’s still going strong two weeks later. Super sticky and reliable!"

"Unfortunately, the patch didn’t stick well for me. I needed to use extra glue, and after a week or two, the edges started peeling. Not quite what I expected based on the product description."

"I help maintain our condominium's community pool and this product was a lifesaver for sealing deteriorated seams between fiberglass panels. Application was straightforward, even underwater, and the putty hardened quickly and completely sealed all leaks. Far easier and less messy than traditional caulks, I highly recommend this for anyone needing a reliable pool sealant."

"When I found a significant leak in my concrete in-ground pool, I used this putty underwater and it adhered instantly, eventually curing to a tough, durable finish. It was simple to mix and apply, and provided a solid fix until I could arrange for a permanent repair. Great value for anyone needing a fast pool repair."

"After struggling with cracks and holes in my pool tile grout for over a year, I finally tried this putty. It’s totally waterproof with excellent adhesive properties and was easy to use once I cleaned the area. The cracks are now perfectly sealed, and the product proved to be both durable and a great deal for the price. I wish I’d used it sooner!"

"I've used this patch kit over several summers to fix different holes in our pool liner, and it has never let me down. It even works underwater if you follow the instructions, and I’ve never had to re-do a patch. I highly recommend this product for anyone with a pool liner that needs repairs."

"After my Golden Retriever tore our pool liner, I gave this patch a try. I followed the directions, and after letting it set, I even added some clear tape over it for peace of mind. The tear was completely sealed, and we enjoyed the pool the entire summer with zero leaks. I'm confident it's a permanent solution."

"Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but this repair kit exceeded my expectations. The hole I patched was small, and after prepping the area and applying the patch, I couldn't even find the spot the next day. No leaks for months now—truly does what it promises."

"I used this vinyl cement for patching a hole in an inflatable bounce house and was amazed by the results. The patch held up perfectly for weeks, and the bond feels incredibly strong and reliable. It definitely saved us the cost of a replacement. I would totally suggest this for anyone needing to fix inflatables."

"After trying other patch kits with no success, I turned to this vinyl cement for my air mattress leak. The glue spread easily, bonded quickly, and the patch stayed sealed even after a full night’s use. I appreciate that it dries clear and is waterproof, making it perfect for various vinyl repairs. I highly recommend it for dependable, lasting fixes."

"I used this cement to patch a pretty big hole at the end of my pool. Followed all instructions and let it cure for 48 hours. The patch held for a couple of days before reopening, but I think that was mainly due to the size and location of the tear rather than the product itself. For smaller holes, I’d definitely recommend it."
