San Diego's Vinyl Pool Repair Specialists Since 1990
ABCO Vinyl Pool Repair is a second-generation family-owned San Diego company specializing in vinyl liner replacement, leak detection, and repair for existing in-ground vinyl pools across San Diego County. We do one thing, we've done it for over 40 years, and our liners last 30% longer than the national average.
Why do ABCO's liners last 30% longer?
Because we repair the substrate, rotted wood walls, corroded track, failing skimmer — before the new liner ever touches the pool.
Our Services
New Installations
For inground pool liner replacement projects we use elaborate, proprietary techniques to get the extremely precise measurements needed for a flawless fit. This in turn translates into a longer life span for your liner, because it minimizes the stresses that are caused by a poor fit.
Pool Repair
When in ground vinyl liner pools need repairs or renovations, San Diego homeowners count on ABCO to get the job done right. Having replaced thousands of liners and repaired countless others, we are masters of this craft. Nobody else even comes close!
What We Fix on Vinyl Pools
For over 40 years we have specialized in repair and replacement of vinyl pools
Pool Leak Detection
“Is my vinyl liner leaking?”
We locate pinhole vinyl pool leaks and repair them from the deck without draining your pool.
Vinyl Replacement
"Do I need a new liner?"
Custom-fit replacement liners with the substrate repairs that make ours last 11–13 years.
Vinyl Liner Repair
"Can you patch a small tear?"
Patches, seam repair, and small tears. We diagnose whether a patch or replacement is smarter.
Coping Repair
"The metal around my pool is rusted."
Replacement of the track and coping that hold your liner in place at the waterline.
Wall and Sunrot Repair
"My pool walls feel soft."
Rotted wood walls and waterline sunrot damage are fixed before your new liner goes in.
Skimmer and Plumbing
“My pump skimmer is leaking.”
The most common real source of vinyl pool leaks. We diagnose, then fix or upgrade.

In addition to amazing customer service, ABCO is also known for:
Longer-lasting liners – Nationally, vinyl inground pool liners last an average of 8 to 10 years. ABCO’s vinyl swimming pool liners last an average of 11 to 13 years, with many lasting even longer than that. How do we achieve this? Meticulous measurements…expert installation of high-quality liners…and a unique “Pool School” that teaches you and your pool servicing company exactly how to care for your new vinyl pool liner.
Encyclopedic materials knowledge – There’s a very hostile environment lurking behind your pool’s liner! We know which types of wood, screws, fasteners and other materials will last, and which will hasten the degradation and disintegration of your pool’s infrastructure.
Structural issues “crystal ball” – The best time to fix a structural issue and do other vinyl pool repairs is during the “window of opportunity” when the liner is out. After over 40 years in the field, we have the ability to predict what’s likely to fail before the next window of opportunity, and save you from having to prematurely replace your new liner by repairing or replacing these items as part of your inground pool liner installation
A San Diego Family Business
Nick Penna started building vinyl pools in Los Angeles and San Diego in 1971, at age 16. In 1990 he founded ABCO and moved the business to existing-pool repair — the work he'd watched so many other companies do poorly. Today his son Andrew runs ABCO as the second generation, still headquartered at the original Gifford Way shop in Kearny Mesa.
