When it comes to repairing or replacing old or damaged pipes, pipe relining is the method of choice particularly for commercial premises, construction projects, multi storey buildings and factories.
Why? Because pipe relining is a lot less disruptive to business than the major earthworks that such situations traditionally involve.

Pipe Relining Explained
Also known as resleeving, or cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP), pipe or drain relining is a trenchless repair method that restores damaged pipes from the inside, usually via existing access points.
Nuflow Brisbane South is proud to have been leading the industry since 2008, providing high-quality relining solutions. Thanks to our advanced resin technology, a new, durable liner can be installed within the existing pipe, to create a long-lasting solution.
Factors Affecting Pipe Relining Cost
The final price of pipe relining depends on several factors, such as:
- Diameter and Length – Larger diameter pipes require more material and labour, while longer sections will increase overall project cost. The pipe relining cost per metre varies based on these factors.
- Access Challenges – One of the biggest cost determinants is the ease of access. Will we need to cut through concrete, or can we make do with existing access points?
- Condition of the Existing Pipe – If a pipe has extensive damage, such as crushed sections filled with dirt, additional work is needed to clear the blockage before relining can occur. Junctions (where pipes split off) and missing pipe sections further complicate the process and increase the overall cost.
- Relining Material – Not all relining solutions are the same. Nuflow’s HTAR (Heat and Acid Resistant) lining is designed for industrial applications such as food factories, where pipes are exposed to high temperatures and corrosive substances. While there are other products on the market that claim to be heat resistant, ours is the only one designed to handle acid.
- Type of Technology Used – Different relining methods impact both cost and durability. Some competitors use fibreglass patch kits and/or Top Hat junctions, which are quicker but have a higher risk of separating from the host pipe over time. Nuflow’s custom in-place resin application ensures a seamless bond, with a lower shrinkage rate (only 1%, compared to 7% from other products).
The Long-Term Value of Pipe Relining
While some homeowners hesitate at the cost of pipe relining, there can be substantial benefits. Traditional pipe replacement or drain repair often requires extensive excavation and damage to landscaping, driveways, and even the home’s slab or foundations – all of which can be avoided with trenchless repair.
For commercial and industrial clients, avoiding shutdowns is crucial. Factories and businesses benefit from pipe relining because it minimises disruption, allowing operations to continue while repairs are completed. Nuflow’s superior technology ensures longevity, providing a strong return on investment.
