Services
At Total Plumbing Solutions, we are UV pipe relining specialists.
We specialise in UV pipe relining using the latest trenchless technology. This allows us to repair pipes and drainage systems without digging, reducing disruption to infrastructure, the environment, and the community—while delivering stronger, longer-lasting pipes.
Pipe Relining is a trenchless method for repairing damaged pipes by creating a new, seamless pipe within the old one. A resin-coated liner is inserted into the existing pipe, then inflated to conform to the pipe’s interior walls. Once the resin cures, it forms a durable, new pipe, eliminating the need for disruptive and expensive excavation.
Our team can reline all pipe types (RCP, PVC, GRP and AC) in sizes from DN100 up to DN1650.
We are accredited SAERTEX-LINER installers and work closely with SAERTEX engineers to ensure every project meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
SAERTEX supplies us with premium structural GRP liners, which are UV-cured for fast installation and superior durability. These liners use advanced ECR fibreglass technology designed to handle high mechanical stress, resist corrosion and chemicals, and meet all required design specifications.
Our liners form one seamless, continuous section with no joins, creating a long-lasting and reliable pipeline.
We also offer relining services for box culverts.
Relining Technology
The Total Plumbing Solutions pipe relining method is based on a non-dig solution. With little to no excavation necessary, the surrounding landscape remains intact and there is no major clean up required. Not only is this process less time-consuming than traditional pipe and drain replacement methods, but it won’t disturb existing the existing flora. Tree roots, roadways, nature strips and gardens are left healthy and intact.
6 Step Relining Process
Step 1
Our process begins with an onsite consultation and CCTV inspection of the drainage system to determine and locate any problems within the drains. The footage is recorded in full colour onto a USB stick, and a complete report is created detailing the findings. General findings may include drain misalignment or collapse, missing sections, water ingress, tree root infestation and ageing infrastructure.
Step 2
We then hydro jet the drains using a high-pressure water cleaner to descale the internal bore of the drain, removing any roots or obstructions, preparing the drain for relining.
Step 3
A custom-made bladder is then inserted into the drain and carefully pulled or pushed into position, spanning over the damage section of the drain.
Step 4
The bladder is the inflated using compressed air which expands and forces the epoxy filled liner to conform and bond to the internal bore of the existing pipe. The liner is then left to cure, creating a pipe within a pipe.
Step 5
Once cured, the bladder is deflated and removed, leaving the newly created structural liner set in place.
Step 6
A final CCTV inspection is conducted, and the pipe is ready for full use, and a lining report is prepared for the client.
