What does drain relining involve?

Drain relining is a three-step process. In a nutshell, the system includes:

Inspection:

• CCTV camera used to assess the drain for leaks, cracks, or blockages

• Identifies the exact location and size of the issue

• Helps plan a faster, more accurate repair

Create pipe lining:

• Specialist analyses CCTV data

• A custom liner or ‘bladder’ is built to match the pipe dimensions

Installation:

• Drain camera guides the precise placement of the liner

• Bladder is inserted into the damaged pipe and inflated to bond the new lining to the old pipe

• The bladder is then deflated and pulled out, leaving you with a watertight system

• Creates a new, seamless internal pipe

How much does it cost to reline a drain?

On average, it costs £70-£130 per linear metre to reline a 100mm pipe, or £120-£170 per linear metre for a 150mm pipe. However, drain issues can vary in severity, as can the cost to deal with them.

FAQs about drain relining

What is drain relining and how does it work?

Drain relining is the process of fixing a damaged pipe without the need to dig into the ground. Your drain expert will build a tougher new pipe from the inside of the existing damaged pipe by relining it. This means no digging and less mess.

What's the life expectancy of drain relining?

Drain relining is said to last anywhere between 20-50 years. So, it’s definitely a long-term solution to any drain issues you may be experiencing.

When is relining better than replacing a drain?

Relining is perfect for when the pipe is structurally repairable (cracks, holes, root damage) but not collapsed. It’s far cheaper and less disruptive than replacing a drain, as this involves digging up the line.

Do I need a CCTV survey before relining?

Yes – a CCTV survey identifies the damage, measures lengths and checks whether relining is doable. Most reputable companies won’t reline without it.

Can drain relining fix damage caused by tree roots?

Often yes – relining seals entry points caused by root damage is possible. In severe cases, you may also need root cutting and preventative controls.

Can you do pipe relining yourself?

Pipe relining isn’t a DIY job. It needs specialist equipment, a CCTV survey and precise installation. For a long-lasting, safe repair, hire a qualified drain specialist.
