For a small leak in a white vinyl pool liner, a pool-specific waterproof tape or peel-and-stick patch is the most directly relevant choice. Burro Adhesives tape is best for a longer strip-style repair, while the Scuba Patch kit suits localized damage. For a full liner replacement, the Smartline and Swimline listings provide pool-size details, but their supplied product information does not confirm a white finish. Check liner color, pool dimensions, and installation type before ordering.

Burro Adhesives Waterproof White Pool Tape
This is the most directly targeted product for repairing a white vinyl pool liner. Its 4-inch width is intended to cover leaks, tears, and other damage, and the listed features say it can be applied underwater or in dry conditions. The manufacturer describes it as heavy-duty PVC vinyl tape with a permanent adhesive bond.
Best for: Pool owners who need a broad strip of white repair tape and want an option described for submerged use. It was selected because its stated purpose specifically includes vinyl pool liner repairs. Limitation: Tape is a repair material, not a replacement liner; the product description does not specify the maximum tear size it can reliably cover.
Scuba Patch Heavy-Duty Liner Patches
This kit includes two peel-and-stick patches, each measuring 5.5 by 8.5 inches. The listed instructions are to clean the damaged area, peel the backing, and apply the patch. The product is described for use inside or outside a pool, including underwater application, and its listed uses also include inflatable pools, rafts, kayaks, and air mattresses.
Best for: Small, localized holes or tears where a rectangular patch can cover the damaged area. It was selected for its pool-liner focus and stated glue-free application. Limitation: The supplied description does not provide guidance on patching large tears or damage near seams, so inspect the damage and follow the product directions.
GORILLA Waterproofing Tape, White
This 4-inch by 10-foot white tape is described as a permanent, all-purpose sealing product. Its features state that it bonds to surfaces and seals out air, water, and moisture, and that it can be used indoors or outdoors, including underwater. The adhesive is described as conforming to surfaces to repair holes, cracks, gaps, and tears.
Best for: Buyers seeking general-purpose white waterproofing tape for a repair where a pool-specific product is not required. It was included because the stated features cover water exposure and patching. Limitation: Unlike the Burro product, the listed features do not specifically identify vinyl pool liners, so choose pool-labeled repair material when liner suitability is a priority.
Smartline 18-Foot Round Waterfall Liner
The listing identifies this as a Smartline 18-foot round swimming pool liner with a Waterfall design. That size and shape make it a candidate for a buyer replacing a liner in a matching pool. It was selected as a full-liner option rather than a patch product.
Best for: Owners looking for an 18-foot round replacement liner who can verify that the design and liner style match their pool. Limitation: No product features were supplied beyond the listing name. The name does not confirm a white finish, wall height, gauge, or installation style, so verify those details before purchase.
Swimline 12-Foot Round Bedrock Liner
The product name specifies an above-ground overlap liner for a 12-foot round pool, a 48- or 52-inch wall, and 25-gauge construction. These details make it easier to compare against a pool with matching dimensions and wall height. The Bedrock pattern is named in the listing.
Best for: Buyers replacing a liner on a 12-foot round above-ground pool with a compatible 48- or 52-inch wall. It was selected because the listing provides useful sizing and construction details. Limitation: The listing does not confirm a white finish. Avoid assuming that the Bedrock design is plain white; check the product images and current specifications.
Buying Guide: Choosing A White Vinyl Pool Liner
Should you repair the liner or replace it?
Choose a repair product when the damage is localized and the liner otherwise remains usable. A patch is designed to cover a specific spot; tape may suit a strip-shaped repair. Consider a replacement liner when the existing liner has widespread damage or when a patch cannot adequately cover the problem. The product information here does not establish a repair-size limit, so use the manufacturer’s guidance.
What dimensions should you confirm?
For a replacement, match the pool’s shape and diameter, wall height, and liner installation style. The Swimline listing specifies a 12-foot round pool and 48/52-inch wall, while the Smartline listing specifies an 18-foot round pool. Confirm all other required measurements with the pool or liner manufacturer rather than relying on diameter alone.
How can you confirm the liner is white?
Do not treat a white repair patch or tape as proof that a replacement liner has a white finish. Check the product’s current color and pattern details before ordering. The supplied Smartline and Swimline information does not confirm a white liner.
Does the repair need to work underwater?
For a repair in a filled pool, compare products whose descriptions explicitly mention underwater application. Burro tape and the Scuba Patch are listed for submerged use. Follow their instructions for cleaning and application; the supplied information does not establish that every repair will adhere to every surface condition.
