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.
Relining is brilliant when it’s the right job, but it’s not the only answer. Sometimes a simple dig-and-replace is quicker or cheaper, and sometimes you just need a blockage cleared. Outright Plumbing looks after all of it, from leaking toilets to hot water problems, so you always get the right repair.
Here’s a snapshot of the feedback we’re proud to receive every week.

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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:
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.
If you're worried about other issues at your home, browse through our wide range of plumbing services and let us know if you'd like to chat about your worries and our solutions.
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:
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
