Drain Repair & Relining
Cracked, root-damaged or leaking drains repaired from the inside, without digging up your drive, garden or car park. We use no-dig patch repairs and full relining to restore damaged pipes for homes and businesses across Eastbourne and East Sussex.

What It Is
Drain relining repairs a damaged pipe by fitting a new lining inside the old one. A flexible liner soaked in resin is fed into the drain through a manhole, pressed tight against the pipe wall and left to cure. Once it hardens, it forms a smooth, jointless pipe within a pipe that seals cracks, gaps and leaking joints.
Because the work is done from the inside, there's no trench to dig. That means far less mess and disruption than replacing the pipe, and in many cases the repair is finished in a single visit.
Repair Options
A short section of liner fixes a single crack, open joint or small area of damage.
It's ideal when a CCTV survey shows the rest of the pipe is in good condition.
A liner runs the whole length between two access points, renewing the full drain run.
It's the better choice when there are several defects or the pipe is generally in poor condition.
What It Fixes
Many of the drains we survey in Eastbourne and across East Sussex are older clay pipes, which crack and let roots in over time. Relining can repair:
Why No-Dig?
No trenches through drives, patios, gardens or floors, and no heavy machinery on your property.
Most relining jobs are completed much faster than excavating and replacing the same pipe.
Driveways, paving, landscaping and commercial yards are left as they were, so there are no reinstatement costs.
The cured liner is smooth, jointless and resistant to roots, so the same problem shouldn't come back.
How It Works
We survey the drain to find every defect, measure the pipe and confirm relining is the right repair.
We jet-clean the pipe and cut out any roots or debris, so the liner bonds to a clean surface.
The resin-soaked liner is fed into place, pressed against the pipe wall and left to cure hard.
We survey the drain again to check the repair, and show you the before and after footage.
When Relining Isn't Right
Relining needs the old pipe to still be holding its shape. If a section has fully collapsed, is badly misaligned or has sunk so water sits in it, a liner won't fix it. In those cases we'll recommend excavation and drain replacement for the damaged section, and reline the rest of the run if that saves you money.
Either way, we'll show you the survey footage and explain why we're recommending a particular repair, so you can make an informed decision.
