If your Intex is a donut, then you can easily repair the donut or the bottom. The sides, being heavily reinforced, either with nylon or fiberglass matting, is almost certainly not repairable as it's structural. But the bottom, lower part of the sides and donut are all standard vinyl and a patch kit is VERY inexpensive. Plus, if you know where the leak is and can patch it while dry, it's much easier than an underwater patch (I've done my share of THOSE! )
