Pipe Relining Melbourne

Fix broken pipes without digging up your property

Pipe relining fixes cracked, broken, and root-damaged pipes from the inside - no digging, no excavation, no mess. We insert a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe, inflate it against the walls, and cure it in place. The result is a new pipe inside the old one, with a 50-year warranty. It’s how we fix most pipe damage across Melbourne without tearing up driveways, gardens, or concrete slabs.

How pipe relining works

We access the pipe through an existing opening - usually a drain access point or cleanout. A flexible liner coated in epoxy resin gets pulled through the damaged section. We inflate the liner against the pipe walls and cure it with heat or UV light. Once it hardens, you’ve got a continuous, jointless pipe inside the old one.The new liner seals all cracks and gaps, stops root intrusion, and actually improves water flow because the surface is smoother than the original pipe. The whole job takes 1-2 days for a standard residential property. You can usually use your plumbing again the same day the liner cures.

When you need pipe relining

Pipe relining is the right call when the pipe is damaged but hasn’t completely collapsed:

• Recurring blockages from tree roots that keep growing back after clearing
• CCTV inspection showing cracks, fractures, or displaced joints
• Pipes under a driveway, slab, garden, or path you don’t want dug up
• Ageing terracotta pipes in homes built before 1970 that are showing their age
• Multiple cracks or joint failures along the same pipe run

Our relining process

We use a streamlined, proven process to deliver reliable pipe relining results from start to finish.

Every project begins with a CCTV inspection to assess the condition of the pipe, confirm suitability for relining, and determine the exact specifications required. The pipe is then thoroughly cleaned to remove any roots, debris, or buildup, ensuring a smooth surface for the new lining to bond effectively.

Once prepared, a resin-saturated liner is installed within the damaged section of the pipe. It is carefully positioned, expanded to fit tightly against the internal walls, and cured in place to create a durable, seamless new pipe within the old one.

After installation, a final inspection is carried out to ensure the liner is properly set and the system is flowing as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does pipe relining cost in Melbourne?

Every job is different. Price depends on pipe length, diameter, depth, and how easy it is to access. We include a CCTV inspection in every relining quote so you can see the problem and know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

How long does pipe relining last?

The epoxy liners we use carry a 50-year manufacturer warranty. In practice, they’re expected to outlast the building. The liner has no joints, so roots can’t get back in - which is the main reason pipes fail in the first place.

Can you reline terracotta pipes?

Yes. Terracotta pipes are the most common type we reline in Melbourne. As long as the pipe hasn’t completely collapsed, relining works well on terracotta - even pipes that are 80 to 100 years old.

Does pipe relining work under a concrete slab?

Yes. That’s one of its biggest advantages. We access the pipe from outside the slab and reline through the section under your floor - no jackhammering, no cutting into concrete, no mess inside the house.

What if the pipe has completely collapsed?

Relining won’t work on a fully collapsed pipe - there’s no structure for the liner to sit inside. In that case, we recommend excavation and replacement. We always inspect with CCTV first so we know before quoting.
