SYDNEY'S #1 PIPE RELINING EXPERTS | TRENCHLESS PIPE REPAIR SPECIALISTS

NOW SERVICING NORTH SYDNEY
WE ARE AVAILABLE
Proximity Plumbing is Sydney's leading pipe relining company, delivering advanced trenchless pipe repair solutions to homeowners, strata managers and commercial property owners across the city. When you need pipe relining Sydney homeowners and businesses can trust, our experts restore cracked, broken and root-damaged pipes from the inside — without excavation, without disrupting your property and without the cost of traditional pipe replacement.
Our Sydney pipe relining team specialises in cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology using a two-part epoxy liner system. We pull a resin-saturated Brawoliner® through the damaged pipe and expand it to form a seamless, structural fibreglass shell. Once cured, this new pipe-within-a-pipe is impenetrable to tree roots, corrosion and chemical attack — with a proven life expectancy of 50 years.
As dedicated sewer pipe relining specialists in Sydney, we exclusively use Brawoliner® — an industry-leading German epoxy liner certified by Australian Standards and the German Institute of Environment and Hygiene. We've invested in overseas training and maintain dedicated pipe relining trucks to deliver the highest-quality workmanship on every project. Our 35-year installation guarantee backs every job.

Every pipe relining job in Sydney follows our proven 5-step process. We never cut corners — each step is critical for a lasting result.
Pipe relining in Sydney typically costs between $1,000 and $1,500 per metre, depending on several factors including pipe location, severity of damage, pipe diameter, accessibility, and the relining method used. Most residential pipe relining Sydney jobs fall between $3,000 and $8,000 total.

The final price of your pipe relining project depends on:
Pipe accessibility: Pipes under concrete slabs, driveways or multi-storey buildings cost more to access than exposed pipes in a garden or under a house on stumps.
Pipe diameter and length: Larger diameter pipes (100mm+) and longer runs require more liner material and resin, increasing cost per metre.
Severity of damage: Minor cracks and root intrusion are straightforward. Collapsed sections, multiple bends, or extensive damage may require additional preparation work or a combination of techniques.
Number of junctions: Each junction (where branch pipes connect) requires robotic cutting after relining, adding time and cost to the project.
Relining method: Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) inversion relining is our preferred method for structural rehabilitation. Patch relining is available for localised damage at a lower cost point.
In most Sydney scenarios, pipe relining costs 20%–40% less than full pipe replacement. Traditional replacement requires excavation, removal of the old pipe, installation of new pipe, backfill, and restoration of surfaces — which can easily exceed $15,000–$25,000 for under-slab or under-driveway pipes. Pipe relining eliminates the excavation cost entirely.
To provide an accurate quote, we begin every project with a mandatory CCTV pipe inspection. This is the only way to properly assess the pipe's condition and recommend the right solution.

Damaged but structurally sound pipes
Fully collapsed or severely broken pipes

Pipe relining is the preferred solution when your pipes have sustained damage but still retain their basic structural shape. This includes cracked pipes, root-infiltrated pipes, corroded cast iron pipes, and pipes with joint displacement. It's particularly advantageous for pipes in hard-to-reach locations — under concrete slabs, beneath driveways, inside walls, or under landscaping — where excavation would be destructive and expensive.
Pipe replacement becomes necessary when the pipe has fully collapsed, lost its structural form, or sustained damage beyond what a liner can rehabilitate. In some cases, local council regulations may also require full replacement. Our CCTV inspection will clearly identify which solution is appropriate for your situation.
At Proximity Plumbing, we want to equip you with the right information to make the best decision. We'll always recommend the most effective solution — and with no call-out fees, you have nothing to lose by getting an honest assessment.
Not all pipe damage is the same, and not all relining methods suit every situation. As Sydney's pipe relining specialists, we offer multiple solutions tailored to the specific condition of your pipes.

Cured-in-place pipe relining is our most-used technique for full structural rehabilitation. A resin-saturated Brawoliner® is inverted into the pipe using air pressure and cured to form a seamless new pipe inside the old one. This method handles bends, diameter changes, and multiple pipe materials — making it ideal for Sydney's diverse pipe infrastructure.
Best for: Sewer pipe relining, stormwater pipe relining, drain relining, and pipes with moderate to heavy damage across longer runs.

For localised damage — a single crack, a joint break, or a small root intrusion point — patch relining targets the specific area without relining the entire pipe. This is a cost-effective option when the rest of the pipe is in good condition.
Best for: Isolated cracks, minor joint displacement, spot repairs under $2,000.

Stormwater drains, kitchen drains, and bathroom waste lines all benefit from relining when damaged. Drain pipe relining in Sydney is particularly common for properties with mature trees, where root intrusion into drain joints is a persistent problem.

Sydney's ageing sewer infrastructure — particularly cast iron and earthenware pipes in pre-1980s homes — is prone to corrosion, root intrusion and joint failure. Our sewer pipe relining service restores these pipes to full structural capacity without excavation. We handle residential sewer lines, shared sewer connections, and strata sewer systems.


Book a professional inspection, and we will find the right solution.

Sydney's commercial buildings, strata complexes, and multi-storey properties face unique pipe relining challenges. For commercial and strata pipe relining Sydney property managers need a specialist who understands shared sewer stacks, inaccessible risers, heritage building restrictions, and the need to minimise disruption to tenants.
Proximity Plumbing provides commercial pipe relining solutions for:
Strata buildings & apartments: We reline shared sewer stacks, common property drainage, and individual lot connections. Our trenchless approach means no jackhammering through common areas, no tile damage, and minimal disruption to residents. We work closely with strata managers and body corporates to plan and schedule works.
Schools and childcare centres: Pipe relining eliminates the safety risks of open excavations in environments with children. We can schedule work during holidays or after hours.
Pubs, clubs and restaurants: Grease-laden commercial kitchen drains and high-volume sewer lines benefit from the seamless, corrosion-resistant properties of epoxy relining. We minimise downtime so your business keeps running.
Hotels and hospitality: Multi-level drainage systems in hotels require precision relining with minimal guest disruption. Our dedicated pipe relining trucks carry everything we need for self-contained operations.
Property and facilities management: We offer preventative CCTV inspection programs and maintenance contracts for property portfolios, identifying relining opportunities before emergency failures occur.
We understand you have options when it comes to pipe relining in Sydney. At Proximity Plumbing, we've dedicated ourselves to extensive research to ensure we use only the finest products available. After careful evaluation, we exclusively chose the Brawoliner® inversion system — and here's why.
50-year life expectancy: Brawoliner® is engineered for long-term performance. Its two-part epoxy resin cures into a rigid fibreglass shell that maintains structural integrity for decades.
Australian Standards & WaterMark approved: Fully certified under Australian plumbing standards, giving you confidence the product meets all regulatory requirements.
German Institute of Environment and Hygiene certified: Independently verified as environmentally safe — suitable for use near waterways, streams, and sensitive ecological areas. This makes it ideal for Sydney properties near harbours, beaches, and bushland.
Versatile diameter handling: Brawoliner® accommodates slight changes in pipe diameter and handles multiple bends — critical for Sydney's older, often irregular pipe networks.
Root-proof and corrosion-resistant: The seamless, joint-free liner eliminates the entry points that tree roots exploit in traditional jointed pipes.
While cheaper alternatives exist, we insist on prioritising quality and longevity. Brawoliner® is the foundation of our 35-year installation guarantee — we wouldn't back our work with a guarantee that long if we weren't absolutely confident in the product.
