Resin Lining Services

When drains fail, the traditional solution has always been excavation — digging down to access the damaged pipework before replacing or repairing it. While effective, this method is disruptive, costly, and time-consuming. Thanks to modern technology, there’s now a cleaner, faster alternative: resin lining.

At First Choice Drainage Solutions, we specialise in professional resin lining services for both residential and commercial drainage systems. This no-dig technology creates a new pipe inside the old one, restoring full functionality without the mess of excavation. Whether you’re facing cracked pipes, root intrusion, or corrosion, resin lining provides a reliable long-term solution that saves time, money, and stress.

What Is Resin Lining?

Resin lining — sometimes known as Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining — involves inserting a resin-impregnated liner into the existing pipework. Once in place, the liner is inflated and cured, creating a smooth, seamless new pipe that bonds tightly to the host structure.

Key benefits include:

• Trenchless installation – no need to dig up floors, gardens, or driveways.

• Durability – high-grade epoxy resins resist corrosion, root ingress, and future cracks.

• Extended pipe lifespan – adding decades of use to old or damaged systems.

• Improved flow – smoother internal surfaces reduce friction and blockages.

• Cost-effectiveness – less labour, less disruption, and faster project completion.

When to Consider Resin Lining

Resin lining is suitable for a wide range of drainage issues, including:

• Cracked or fractured pipes.

• Root ingress damaging joints or seams.

• Corroded or worn pipework.

• Leaking connections causing damp or ground instability.

• Recurring blockages due to rough internal surfaces.

• Pipes that are difficult or impossible to access via excavation.

Our engineers will carry out a full CCTV survey of your drainage system to confirm suitability and recommend the most effective solution.

Our Resin Lining Process

At First Choice Drainage Solutions, we follow a proven step-by-step process:

1. CCTV Survey & Diagnosis
   We inspect the drainage system using high-definition cameras to assess condition and measure the extent of the damage.

2. Cleaning & Preparation
   Pipes are cleaned using high-pressure water jetting or mechanical cutting to remove scale, roots, and debris — ensuring a smooth surface for lining.

3. Resin Liner Installation
   A flexible liner coated in epoxy resin is inserted into the existing pipe and positioned accurately.

4. Inflation & Curing
   The liner is inflated to press against the pipe walls, then cured using air, water, or UV light to harden into a durable new pipe.

5. Final Inspection
   A follow-up CCTV survey confirms correct installation and full system functionality.

6. Handover & Guarantee
   Clients receive a detailed report, and all resin lining installations are backed by our workmanship guarantee.
