Everything You Need to Know About Drain Re-Lining Services in Bournemouth

🚧 What Is Drain Re-Lining?

Drain re-lining is a no-dig drain repair technique used to fix cracked, leaking, or damaged pipes without excavation. Instead of digging up your garden or driveway, engineers insert a flexible resin liner into the pipe, which hardens to form a new pipe within the old one.

This method is ideal for homeowners and businesses across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole, Ringwood, and Wimborne, where older clay drainage systems are common.

🔍 When Do You Need Drain Re-Lining?

You may need re-lining if you experience:

• Persistent blockages or foul smells.

• Damp patches or sinkholes near drains.

• Water escaping from joints or cracks.

• Evidence of root ingress or corrosion.

Before any work begins, our team at 24 Hour Drain Unblocking carries out a CCTV drain survey to confirm the extent of the damage and determine whether re-lining is the best option.

For a detailed breakdown of the process, see Wessex Water’s guide to drain maintenance.

⚙️ How Does Drain Re-Lining Work?

1. CCTV Inspection – Identify cracks, blockages, or root intrusion.

2. Cleaning – Jet-wash the pipe to remove debris.

3. Liner Installation – Insert a resin-soaked liner into the drain.

4. Curing – Inflate and harden the liner to create a watertight new pipe.

5. Final Inspection – Verify the integrity of the repair with CCTV footage.

This “pipe-within-a-pipe” system restores full structural strength and can extend the life of your drains by up to 50 years.

💰 How Much Does Drain Re-Lining Cost?

Prices depend on the pipe’s diameter, condition, and accessibility. Typical costs in Dorset are:

• Minor re-lining (per metre): £80–£120

• Full drain re-lining: £500–£1,000

• Patch repairs: £200–£400
