Drain Relining
Repair damaged pipes from the inside with a cured-in-place liner — a strong, seamless new pipe within the old one, no digging required.
What is a drain relining?
Drain relining (cured-in-place pipe, or CIPP) repairs a pipe from the inside. We insert a resin-soaked liner, inflate it against the existing pipe and cure it in place. As a result, it forms a strong, jointless new pipe within the original, sealing cracks and blocking roots with no excavation.
Drain relining (cured-in-place pipe, or CIPP) repairs a damaged pipe from the inside. We insert a resin-saturated liner, inflate it against the existing pipe wall and cure it to form a strong, jointless new pipe inside the old one.
It seals cracks, stops leaks and blocks root ingress, all without excavation. As a result, it is ideal where the pipe runs under a drive, garden, floor or building.
When you need a drain relining
- A survey has found cracks, fractures or open joints
- Root ingress is getting into the pipe
- A damaged section keeps causing blockages
- The pipe runs under a drive, patio, garden or floor you want to protect
Why it matters
No excavation
We repair the pipe from within, so there is no digging up gardens, drives or floors. As a result, you avoid the mess and the reinstatement cost.
Seamless & strong
The cured liner forms a jointless pipe that resists roots and leaks. Because there are no joints for roots to exploit, the repair stays sound.
Long lifespan
A properly installed liner can extend the life of a drain by decades. Consequently, you get a fix measured in decades, not years.
What's included
- A survey and high-pressure jet-clean to prepare the pipe
- Installation of the resin liner, cured in place
- A final camera survey to confirm a smooth, sealed pipe
- A fixed quote before work begins
How it works
- 01
Survey & clean
First, we survey and jet-clean the pipe to prepare it for lining. Because a clean surface bonds better, this step is essential to a lasting liner.
- 02
Install liner
Next, we insert the resin liner, inflate it and cure it in place. Meanwhile, we monitor the cure so the new pipe forms correctly.
- 03
Final survey
Finally, a camera survey confirms a smooth, sound, fully sealed pipe. You then have footage proving the repair is complete.
How much does a drain relining cost?
The cost of drain relining depends on the length and diameter of the pipe, how many bends are involved, and access to the run. It usually costs less than excavating and reinstating the same pipe — send us the details and we will give you a clear, fixed-price quote.
What affects the price
- The length of pipe that needs lining
- Pipe diameter and how many bends are involved
- Access to the run and the condition of the host pipe
- Whether a patch liner or a full liner is required

Drain Relining — your questions answered
How much does drain relining cost?
It depends on the length and diameter of the pipe, how many bends are involved, and access to the run. However, it usually costs less than excavating and reinstating the same pipe — send us the details for a fixed-price quote.
Is relining as good as a new pipe?
For most defects, yes. Because the cured liner forms a strong, jointless pipe, it seals cracks, leaks and root entry points as effectively as a new pipe.
How long does a relined drain last?
A properly installed liner is generally expected to last 50 years or more. As a result, it is comparable to a brand-new pipe.
Can every drain be relined?
Most can. However, a fully collapsed or badly deformed pipe may need excavation, so we confirm suitability with a survey first.
