Drain Repair Cost

Drain repair costs in the UK depend on the type of damage, the repair method required, and the depth and accessibility of the pipe. Here's a realistic guide to what you can expect to pay for the most common drainage repairs.

When to consider this guidance

Teams usually investigate drain repair cost when early warning signs start affecting reliability, compliance, or project timelines. This is often the point where decision makers move from observation into scoped technical action.

What often triggers action

The symptoms below are the most common triggers we see before diagnosis and repair planning.

  • Drain jetting and unblocking: £100–£300
  • CCTV drain survey: £150–£400
  • Drain relining (per metre): £80–£200
  • Patch repair: £300–£800
  • Excavation and pipe replacement: £1,000–£5,000+

How this is usually carried out
