Fix broken, cracked, or blocked pipes without digging up your yard.
At Mates Rates Plumbing, we specialise in pipe relining Sydney-wide — a fast, trenchless repair method that restores your drains and sewers from the inside out.
Our licensed plumbers use the latest CCTV drain technology and no-dig pipe relining systems to repair underground pipes permanently — saving you time, money, and mess.
What Is Pipe Relining?
Pipe relining is a modern plumbing technique that repairs damaged pipes from the inside, without excavation.
Instead of digging up driveways or gardens, a flexible liner coated in resin is inserted into the existing pipe. Once cured, it forms a strong, seamless new pipe inside the old one.
Think of it as giving your old pipes a brand-new lining — stronger, smoother, and leak-free.
When You Need Pipe Relining
Pipe relining is ideal for fixing:
- Cracked or leaking pipes
- Root intrusion and corrosion
- Blocked drains and slow-flow systems
- Displaced or leaking joints
- Sewer and stormwater pipe damage
It’s perfect for pipes under driveways, pathways, gardens, or house slabs — where digging isn’t practical.

FAQ:
How much does pipe relining cost in Sydney?
The cost of pipe relining in Sydney usually ranges from $500 to $1,000 per metre, depending on pipe size, damage, and accessibility. Because it avoids digging, relining is often cheaper than full pipe replacement. Mates Rates Plumbing provides upfront pricing after a CCTV inspection, ensuring accurate quotes for every Sydney property.
How long does pipe relining last?
A professionally relined pipe can last up to 50 years or more. The epoxy resin liner forms a seamless, corrosion-resistant inner wall that’s stronger than the original pipe. Mates Rates Plumbing uses WaterMark-approved materials backed by a long-term warranty, giving Sydney property owners a permanent, low-maintenance drain repair solution.
Can all damaged pipes be relined?
Most cracked, leaking, or root-damaged pipes can be relined, whether they’re PVC, clay, or concrete. However, if the pipe is completely collapsed or heavily offset, partial replacement may be required before relining. A CCTV pipe inspection from Mates Rates Plumbing Sydney determines if no-dig relining is the best solution for your property.
What are the benefits of pipe relining?
Pipe relining repairs damaged drains without digging, avoiding disruption to gardens, driveways, and floors. It’s faster, cleaner, and often more cost-effective than traditional pipe replacement. The cured liner seals cracks, stops root intrusion, improves flow, and provides a 50-year lifespan — making trenchless pipe repair Sydney’s smarter plumbing solution.
How long does the pipe relining process take?
Most Sydney pipe relining jobs are completed in a single day. After inspecting and cleaning the pipe with high-pressure water, our plumbers insert and cure the liner in place. Once hardened, the new pipe is ready for immediate use. This no-dig process saves days of excavation and restoration work, ideal for busy homes or businesses.
Is pipe relining covered by insurance?
Yes — many Sydney insurance policies recognise pipe relining as an approved, non-invasive repair method. Since it avoids excavation, insurers often cover it under plumbing or stormwater repair claims. Mates Rates Plumbing provides inspection footage and documentation to support your insurance claim and confirm the permanent repair.
Is pipe relining environmentally friendly?
Yes, pipe relining is one of the most eco-friendly ways to repair drains. Because it avoids digging and pipe disposal, it reduces soil disruption, waste, and heavy-machinery use. The epoxy resin liner also prevents leaks and contamination, keeping Sydney’s water systems cleaner and more sustainable for years to come.
