Outright Plumbing makes complex pipe relining simple and reliable
Most people imagine excavators, jackhammers, and ruined gardens when they think of fixing broken pipes. That used to be the only way. These days, we’ve got a better option: pipe relining. Instead of digging the old pipe out, we rebuild it from the inside with a strong new lining that seals cracks, keeps roots out, and gets everything flowing again — without wrecking your poperty.
- We check your drains with a camera to show you exactly what’s wrong.
- Relining repairs the pipe from within, so your driveway, tiles, or garden stay intact.
- You’ll know what’s been done, how it works, and how long it will last.

What locals say about our plumbing
Word of mouth built our reputation. Our customer reviews show why Melbourne homeowners keep calling us when they need plumbing they can rely on.
So, when does relining beneath the shovel?
We don’t suggest relining for everything. But there are situations where digging just doesn’t make sense and relining is the smarter, cleaner option.
Pipes buried under concrete or tiled floors
If a cracked sewer sits under your driveway or bathroom tiles, digging means demolition. Relining lets us repair the section without touching the surface above it.
Old clay pipes riddled with tree roots
Clay and terracotta pipes are magnets for roots. Relining locks them out by sealing every joint and crack, so the roots can’t get back in.

Drains weakened by shifting ground
In Bayside’s sandy soil, pipes can sag and split over time. Relining adds a new structural wall inside the old pipe, restoring its strength without pulling it out of the ground.
Sewers that keep blocking, no matter how often you clear them
If you’ve called a plumber to jet or snake the same line over and over, chances are the pipe itself is damaged. Relining smooths the inside wall so waste flows properly instead of catching.
What most homeowners don’t get told about relining
Pipe relining isn’t new, but it’s not well understood outside the trade. A lot of what you’ll read online makes it sound like magic, or skips the fine print. Here’s what we think homeowners should really know before deciding if it’s the right fix.
A relined pipe can outlast a brand-new one
When we install a liner, it bonds to the inside of the old pipe and creates a smooth, watertight surface. There are no joints for roots to chase and no gaps for water to escape. In many cases, a relined pipe will outlast a freshly dug-in PVC pipe, which still has joints that can shift or crack over time.
We’ve relined sewer lines in Brighton and Sandringham more than a decade ago that are still holding perfectly, while nearby replacement pipes have already needed attention.
Relining can’t fix a pipe that’s completely collapsed
Relining works by inserting and curing a new wall inside the old pipe. But if the pipe has already caved in and flattened, there’s nothing to work with. In those cases, we recommend digging and replacing, even if it means breaking through concrete.
This is why we always run a camera inspection first. It shows us whether the pipe is still holding shape or if replacement is the only safe option.
Cameras make or break the job
Relining without CCTV isn’t just bad practice. It’s risky. The camera is what tells us exactly where the damage starts and stops, and whether there are multiple weak spots along the line. It also confirms the liner has set properly after the job’s done.
We’ve taken over jobs where liners were installed blindly, only to find later that sections of damage had been missed. That means more blockages, more costs, and more digging. Proper inspections prevent all that.
Small cracks matter as much as big failures
A lot of people wait until a sewer collapses before calling us. But even hairline cracks in clay or concrete pipes let roots in, and roots don’t stop growing. Relining those smaller sections early is often cheaper than multiple call-outs to clear blockages, or the cost of replacing an entire collapsed line.
One of our clients in Cheltenham had a cracked joint under a tiled courtyard. Instead of digging, we relined the short section in one day. Ten years later, that line is still running without a single blockage.
Accredited and qualified, so you know the job’s done right
How Outright Plumbing’s pipe relining services work
Pipe relining sounds complex, but the steps are straightforward. We check what’s wrong, repair it from the inside, and test it so you can trust it’ll last.

Inspection that finds the real problem
We send a camera down the line to see exactly what we’re dealing with: cracks, tree root intrusion, or sections worn out with age. That way, we know where the issue is and how to fix it properly.
Relining that restores your damaged pipes
Once the pipe’s cleared, we insert a resin liner that bonds to the inside of the old pipe. When it sets, you’ve got a new pipe inside the existing one, without any digging or mess.
Testing solutions so you know it’s fixed right
We finish by pressure-testing the line and running water through it. You’ll see straight away that the flow’s back, the seal’s tight, and the pipe’s ready to handle years of use.
Call Outright Plumbing to get your pipes relined before the damage gets worse
Cracked or blocked pipes won’t heal on their own. The longer you wait, the bigger the mess. Call Outright Plumbing today and we’ll reline your pipes before it turns into a costly disaster.
Plumbing results that speak for themselves
Over the years, we’ve fixed everything from hidden leaks to complex drainage jobs. Our case studies show how we solve problems quickly and leave things working better than before.
We’re licensed to perform pipe relining under commercial properties
In homes, relining saves gardens and driveways. In commercial and managed properties, it saves time, money, and disruption. Relining gives managers and business owners a way to fix serious pipe problems while keeping doors open and people happy. That’s why it’s often the go-to fix for bigger sites.
- Apartments: One cracked sewer line can cause backups in multiple units. Relining repairs it fast, without tearing up courtyards or shared driveways.
- Shops and restaurants: A blocked kitchen line can shut a business down. Relining restores flow while the rest of the venue stays open.
- Schools: Digging trenches through play areas or paths isn’t practical. Relining sorts the damage with minimal disruption and no hazards left behind.
- Factories: Pipes often run under slabs or heavy machinery. Relining means repairs get done without cutting concrete or halting production.

Helpful answers from plumbers who do this every day
Pipe relining can sound technical, so we’ve answered the common questions we hear on the job. These aren’t guesses: they’re real answers from the plumbers who fix drains every day.
What is pipe relining and how does it work?
Pipe relining is a trenchless pipe repair method that fixes broken drains without digging up your yard. Instead of excavation, a new liner is installed inside the damaged pipe, creating a pipe within the old one. It’s a practical way to restore a drain pipe without tearing up driveways, gardens, or floors.
Here’s how the process usually works:
- CCTV drain camera inspection pinpoints cracks, blockages, or root intrusion.
- High-pressure water jets clear the pipe wall of roots and debris.
- A resin liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and inflated to fit.
- Once cured, the liner hardens into a smooth new pipe, stronger than the original pipe.
Outright Plumbing's approach is a cost-effective way to repair the pipe and has become the go-to relining solution in Melbourne for homes with old or cracked drains.

How much does pipe relining cost in Melbourne?
To put you in the ballpark, drain pipe relining can cost $1,000 per meter. Your actual quote depends on the length of the pipe, the type of damage, and where the pipe runs. While prices vary, relining is almost always more cost-effective than traditional pipe replacement methods.
What affects the price:
- The length of the pipe and how many sections need repair.
- Whether you’re relining a sewer pipe, stormwater drain, or water pipe.
- How accessible the line is (under a lawn is simpler than under a slab or driveway).
- Any preparation needed, such as clearing a pipe blockage first.
Outright Plumbing offers pipe relining services across Melbourne with clear, upfront pricing. We’ll also make every effort to be as surgically precise as we can, relining only what needs to be done to keep your final bill as low as possible without sacrificing your safety.
Is pipe relining cheaper than replacing pipes?
In most cases, yes. Drain relining is usually far more affordable than digging up and replacing pipes. Because trenchless pipe relining avoids excavation, you don’t pay for machinery, labour, or the cost of restoring gardens and concrete once the work is done.
Traditional pipe repair can take days. Relining and repair are often completed in a matter of hours, making it a faster and more cost-effective way to get your drains flowing again. For Melbourne residents, that combination of time and cost savings is why relining has become the preferred option.
What pipes can’t be relined?
Pipe relining services in Melbourne cover most situations, but not every pipe can be repaired this way. If the pipe has completely collapsed and there’s no channel left, a liner can’t be inserted into the damaged pipe.
Other situations where relining may not work include:
- Pipes that are badly misaligned or shifted.
- Drains that are too narrow for relining equipment.
- Severe blocked drains that can’t be cleared with high-pressure water.
In these cases, traditional pipe replacement methods may be the only option. Outright Plumbing can give your system a thorough inspection to see whether your blocked pipes and drains need a full replacement or whether a relining will do the trick.
Is pipe relining safe for sewer and stormwater pipes?
Yes, relining is widely used for sewer pipe repair and stormwater drains. These systems often crack or let tree roots in, and trenchless pipe relining is designed to seal and strengthen them.
Once relined, the pipe wall is reinforced and resistant to intrusion. The finished product is often stronger than the original pipe, giving you peace of mind that the system can handle heavy flows.
Relining and repair methods have been used across Melbourne for years, with proven results for both sewer pipe relining and stormwater drain repair.
How quickly can pipe relining be done?
Most relining solutions can be finished the same day. For a standard drain relining in Melbourne, the work might only take a few hours once the preparation is complete.
What affects the timeline:
- The length of the pipe and how many sections are being relined.
- Whether high-pressure water cleaning or drain repairs are needed first.
- The curing time of the resin (which is typically just a few hours).
Compared with traditional pipe replacement methods, which can stretch into days, trenchless pipe repair is an effective pipe relining option that saves both time and cost.
Is pipe relining a permanent fix or just temporary?
Pipe relining is designed as a long-term repair. The liner bonds tightly to the pipe wall, creating a new pipe lining that can last decades. When done by pipe relining specialists in Melbourne like Outright Plumbing, it’s every bit as reliable as a brand new pipe.
Unlike patch jobs that only cover a small section, full drain relining and repairs rehabilitate the entire pipe. Many Melbourne homeowners see it as a permanent solution, giving them confidence their plumbing and drainage is sorted for years to come.
Is the resin safe for drinking water pipes?
Yes. The resins used in pipe relining services Melbourne plumbers rely on are tested to be safe for use in water pipes, including those supplying drinking water. Once cured, the resin becomes an inert, smooth lining that won’t leach into your supply.
According to the Victorian plumbing industry, any plumbing and drainage work on water supply pipes must meet strict safety standards. Outright Plumbing follows these rules to ensure the pipe relining solution in Melbourne homes is safe and long-lasting.
