My sister lives in another state. She says that her water bed is
leaking around a patch that was done earlier.

I think the patch originally stopped the leak, but is now leaking
again.

Would it be better to try to remove the old patch and then patch the
area again or just patch over the patch?

What would make removing the old patch easier?

Thanks for your time

Patch over the patch. Prepare surface with rubbing alcohol first and see
if you can get an air bubble under the leak. I had water beds for 20 years
until 2005 and fixed my fair share of leaks.

I think it is time to replace the mattress.

Once upon a time, as a child, I used to put patch upon patch on bicycle
tyres and learnt about the futility. Time to dispose/ recycle.

Did she try any Bar's Leaks in the water bed?
