Drain repair and relining: what the job involves
Fixing an underground drain that is cracked, collapsed, displaced or full of roots, either by relining it from inside with a resin liner, without digging, or by excavating and replacing the damaged section.
How long it takes: Usually a day for relining; several days if the drain is dug up, deep, under a driveway or near walls.

What drain repair and relining in Bantry costs, and why
What jobs on Talqero came to
Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.
What affects the price
- Relining versus excavating
- Depth and length of the damaged section
- The surface on top: lawn, paving, concrete or a driveway
- Number of branch connections that must be reopened after relining
- Access for a mini-digger, and how close the pipe is to walls
- VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
County Cork: what the figures say
43.0% of households in County Cork live in homes built before 1981 — above the national figure of 40.7%, and the 3rd highest share of the 26 counties.
Older drains are more often clay pipes, which crack and let roots in over time; a CCTV survey shows their condition before anything is dug up.
