How Much Does It cost To Reline A Pipe ?
Pipe relining cost per metre can be anywhere from $500 to $1200. The price of the job will depend on factors such as accessibility, risk, the size of the pipework, the length of the problem area and the number of junctions. A site inspection is mandatory to obtain a detailed and accurate quote, including a CCTV camera audit.

St Ives Pipe Relining Process
In the past, if you wanted to repair a pipe you had to dig. A messy, time-consuming, and costly exercise. Now, you can by-pass all that thanks to Pipe Relining, also known as trenchless pipe lining or trenchless sewer repair. Simply put, Pipe Relining creates a pipe within the existing pipe.
The days of digging up the yard, jackhammering, disrupting (and rebuilding) your home’s structure are done. Pipe Relining means you can “line” an existing pipe, where they are. As long as the pipe is structurally sound, we can reline the pipe! Here’s our simple mess-free process:
We Investigate
Before we begin the trenchless pipe repair, we look thoroughly into your existing pipes to find out exactly what the problem is.
We Clear
After a thorough investigation, we clear the pipe of any debris using state of the art technology.
We Reline
We use the Brawoliner® Pipe Relining epoxy bladder to pipe reline the existing pipe.
We Cure & Cut
We expand the relining bladder and let it set for a few hours. That’s it, your pipe is now relined.

How Does Pipe Relining Work?
Many people talk about it, but in reality, very few understand how it all works, so we will do our best to explain the process without getting too technical. The first step is using a hydro-jetter—which supplies water at very high pressure—to remove all the internal tree roots, oils, and debris remaining in the line. This is followed by an extensive CCTV camera audit which determines the total length of relining product required to the very millimetre. In some cases, we need to locate different sections of the line if we are repairing certain sections of the sewer line.
We then measure and cut the felt liner into a calibration tube that pushes out the liner when it is time for curation. The calibration tube is usually made of polyester or fibreglass. After that, the two-part epoxy resin is properly mixed. Next, the liner is compressed in an inversion drum to ensure that the epoxy reaches all the fibre in it. This is called the wetting-out. After this is done, the liner may be kept in a bowl of ice to prevent it from curing before it is placed.
Next, the liner is loaded into the inversion tank, and the lining process starts; following this, the pipe is filled with the epoxy through an access point upstream (it could also be filled from downstream, but it may pose some risks). Next, the resin is cured to make it harden up. Perhaps, this is why this system of relining is referred to as cured-in-place because the resin is left to air-dry, or the process is hastened with the use of hot water or steam after placement and not cured before being fixed. Ultraviolet light is finally used in the tube to complete the curing process.
When the resin is completely dried and hardened to form the new pipe, a robotic cutter is employed to open up all the junctions that were closed up when the epoxy was forced in. Finally, the line is checked to ensure that the work was properly done without wrinkling or open spaces in the resin. We then complete a final video recording which is provided on USB to the client for future reference.
IMS Robotic Cutting
If you need to cut out a junction in your pipe, remove concrete that is blocking your drain, repair a punctured line or if your drains are squashed, and your drains are displaced, we have a pipe cutting Sydney solution for you.
Robotic Cutting is one of the fastest and easiest ways to obliterate a blockage, debris or other obstruction to your pipe. Sometimes it's the only way. Because of the type of head and attached camera, it's one of the most precise and toughest tools on the market today to cut out obstacles in pipes.
At Proximity Plumbing, it's one of many tools in our arsenals used to prepare and clear blocked drains before pipe relining. It also the final tool we use to cut out junctions straight after the pipes have been relined.

Is Pipe Relining Worth It?
While pipe relining is better than replacement in most circumstances, if the damage to your pipes is significant, pipe relining may not be sufficient. Therefore, it's essential to have a professional assess the damage to determine whether pipe relining is possible. If not, you'll need pipe replacement.
To help indicate cost. We have found that most relining jobs are generally 20% cheaper than what it would cost to excavate and replace the drain. The benefit of relining is that all work, in most cases, gets completed on the same day, and there is no mess or disruption to your property.
How Long Does Pipe Relining Last?
The trenchless system of fixing pipes is, no doubt, durable, but the warranty offered by pipe relining services may differ. We are proud to offer a 35-year installation guarantee and a life expectancy of up to 50 years on our relining work.
If you experience any drainage issues within 35 years of your relining work being installed, Our Sydney Relining Company will attend to your property and assess the problem. If we find that the problem is caused by defective pipe relining installation, we will fix your problem-free of charge.
Pipe Relining Vs Replacement, Which One Is Right For You?
Pipe replacement involves a team of plumbers digging trenches, removing concrete slabs, dismantling walls, and anything else above ground to locate and completely replace a piece of pipe. Pipe relining effectively repairs the broken pipe from the inside out, using only a tiny access point of one square metre.
There is a common misconception that pipe relining is a temporary fix compared to permanent fixes offered by pipe replacement. Having pipes relined is a permanent fix, just as replacing them is. There are, however, lots of variables when it comes to finding a solution:
• Pipe relining should be the choice when the cost of excavating certain sections for drain and sewer pipes is too expensive.
• Pipe relining makes more sense when the time is limited. Excavating, pulling out the old piping and replacing everything takes a considerable amount of time.
• Pipe relining should be the choice where accessing pipes would require complex work; pipes laid under tiles, concrete floors, etc.
Demolitions and excavations in rooms or cramped environments, in addition to delaying the intervention times, often involve the possibility of damaging other parts of the property.
The intervention illustrated is respectful of the environment and does not require materials to be disposed of after each use. Which, given the high costs of disposal in a landfill, represents a further advantage economically. From a strictly economic point of view, pipe relining is in many situations more convenient than the traditional method of replacement, taking into account the reduction of execution times and the elimination of all the inconveniences related to this.
There is a reason why we are the one number choice of The Eastern suburb’s community, this book will tell you why you should always choose a specialist over a generalist- save your time by obtaining multiple quotes, having the same issue getting fixed over and over & keeping your money in your pocket.
Food for thought: A generalist would be able to see an iceberg and analyse its importance to the ship’s course. But the same generalist, without a deeper knowledge of the iceberg, could be missing vital information on what is happening below the surface, you see - there is a difference.
What Pipe Relining Solution Do We Use?
There are several pipe relining solutions available in the Australian market. However, after extensive research, we chose the Brawoliner inversion system from Germany as we believe it to be the best product in the market. The system is perfect for pipe relining Sydney solutions because it can handle multiple bends and small changes in the diameter of the pipe.
Brawoliner, unlike cheaper comparisons, has an expectancy lifespan of 50 years and is fully approved by the Australian standards and Australian Watermark Approved Line. Finally, the dried Brawoliner resin and lining have been certified to be environmentally friendly by the German Institute for the Environment and Hygiene, making it perfect for sensitive areas such as near streams and rivers. The specially designed lining product can be hot cured and set in place in as little as 2 to 3 hours.

What’s Involved With Pipe Relining?
Inversion Pipe Relining
Inversion St Ives uses a special inversion drum to blow the liner into the pipe. This utilises compressed air to not only insert the liner into the pipe, but to also invert it (so it becomes inside out). Once this process is complete, the inside of the liner that has the resin impregnated is now on the outside and pressed against the original pipe using compressed air.
Pipe Patching
Sectional pipe repair or ‘pipe patching’ is fast becoming a popular alternative to digging up tree root infested, damaged, misaligned or broken pipes. It’s fast, permanent and ideal for smaller leaks or cracks in your pipes that don’t need to be completely replaced.
Pipe Rehabilitation
Pipe rehabilitation is that aspect of trenchless rehabilitation that undertakes the repair or replacement of sewer and water pipelines that run under ground.
Junction Repair Pipe Relining
The Satellite repair system is used for repairing cracked junctions. It inflates a resin, impregnated bladder into the shape of the desired junction and cures it with the aid of circulated steam.
Robotic Cutting
A robotic cutter is a specialized drainpipe tool with a diamond impregnated steel cutting head that can cut through obstructions with ease. The robotic cutting head is attached to an air hose that is inserted inside the pipe where it spins around and grinds away the obstruction
Pipe Service Locating
Our Technicians are skilled in the use of Ground Penetrating Radar technology to locate underground utilities and provide a graphic image of the subsurface.
