Pricing

Priced from a card you can read.

Setup, a rate per metre, a line per junction. The card is published on the cost page, the CCTV survey measures your line against it, and the figure is fixed in writing before work starts.

Rated 4.9canonical demo review set, 214 reviews ↗ across the demo review set, with a typical 10m reline band of $5,500 to $7,500modelled: typical 10m Sydney reline, market band 2026 across the Sydney market. Our card prices that job at $7,000, inside the band and printed where you can see it.
Try it yourself

Route the job, then price it.

Two questions route you to the honest scope (patch, full reline, or camera first), then the rate card model prices it. Indicative, not a quote, but it is the same maths we quote from.

Which repair does your drain actually need?

Setup, plus the per metre rate times your length, plus any junctions. The same maths we quote from, so the number you see here is the number we defend on site.

Step through the questions on the left. As soon as you answer the last one, we point you to the honest scope and a realistic range for a job your size.

Indicative ranges

What relining jobs usually cost.

Indicative ranges AU 2026
The bargain drain clear, again (Jetting clears the blockage, not the crack the roots grew through. The same drain blocks again and the spend repeats every year.) $300 to $900 per visit
Sectional patch repair (One localised fault relined over. Fast, targeted, and the honest call when only one spot has failed.) $2,500 to $5,000
Full line reline, typical 10m house sewer (Setup plus $450 per metre at 100mm. Our rate card puts a 10m line at $7,000, inside the Sydney market band of $5,500 to $7,500.) $5,500 to $7,500
Full line reline, long or complex runs (Length, a 150mm bore, junction count and slab access move the figure. The calculator shows the maths line by line.) $5,000 to $15,000+
Indicative only (modelled), not a quote. Length, diameter, junction count and access move a job up or down its range; the CCTV survey pins the exact figure and the rate card on the cost page shows the maths.
The rate card, walked through on camera.
What moves the number

Four things that decide where your quote lands.

Access, depth, junctions, and whether it is a patch or a full line. None of them should be a surprise, and all of them show up on the survey footage before they show up on a quote.

What moves the price

Four levers. One checkable number.

One rate card · four levers
1Access: how we reach the pipe
2Depth: how far down it runs
3Junctions: how many branches join in
4Patch or full line: how much pipe is failing
Access: how we reach the pipe
A clear inspection point close to the fault is cheap to work from. A line under a slab, or one reached through a single small opening, takes longer to set up.

Access: how we reach the pipe

A clear inspection point close to the fault is cheap to work from. A line under a slab, or one reached through a single small opening, takes longer to set up.

Depth: how far down it runs

Relining does not need a trench, but a deep line needs more time on the crawler and the winch. Depth is why two ten metre jobs can price differently.

Junctions: how many branches join in

Every branch connection along the relined section is cut back open and sealed. Each one is a fixed line on the quote: $650 at 100mm, $750 at 150mm.

Patch or full line: how much pipe is failing

One isolated crack is a patch. A line cracked or root invaded end to end is a full reline. The camera tells us which before we quote.

How our quote is built

Every line, spelled out.

Our quote lists the surveyed metres, the rate applied to them, and each junction as its own line, so you know exactly what you are paying for and what you are not.

What's actually on the quote

Four lines. Every one checkable.

Every line accounted for

A camera first, never a shovel
A CCTV crawler runs the full line and maps every fault, junction and metre before anything is touched or quoted.

"$13,000, trust me" after one camera run  →  four lines, priced from the card.

Camera, clean, line, prove: the method on a real job.
The 7-line quote
  1. 1 A camera first, never a shovel. A CCTV crawler runs the full line and maps every fault, junction and metre before anything is touched or quoted.
  2. 2 The quote comes from the rate card. Setup plus a rate per metre, junctions priced on their own. The same card is printed on this site, so you can check our maths.
  3. 3 A structural liner, cured in place. A resin saturated structural liner is inverted through the old pipe and cured hard. A new seamless pipe forms inside the old one.
  4. 4 A post cure CCTV pass, handed to you. We run the camera again and you keep the footage. The job is proven sealed end to end before we leave.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

What you get from us

Cowboy tells

  • A "camera inspection" that produces no footage, just a scary verbal verdict
  • A $13,000 quote after a $900 jet and camera visit, with nothing itemised
  • An excavator booked before the fault is even located
  • A "report" that turns out to be the wording on the invoice

Which job is yours

Patch, full line, or camera first.

Option A

Sectional patch repair

One localised fault: a cracked joint, a displaced collar, a single root entry. We reline a short section over the fault and leave the sound pipe alone.

Right when: The CCTV survey shows one isolated fault in an otherwise sound line.
Wrong when: The line is cracked or root invaded along its length. Patching a failing line is paying twice.
$2,500 to $5,000
Most common

Full line reline, 100mm

The whole run relined as one seamless structural pipe inside the old one. The standard residential sewer and stormwater fix.

Right when: Faults appear at several points along the run, or the pipe is old earthenware failing joint by joint.
Wrong when: A single isolated fault in a sound line. A patch does that job for less.
$5,000 to $15,000+
Option C

Full line reline, 150mm

The same cured in place method sized for larger mains: shared lines, boundary runs and stormwater mains.

Right when: The failing line is a 150mm main, common on shared property, strata blocks and older boundary runs.
Wrong when: A standard 100mm house line. The camera measures the bore, so nobody pays 150mm rates for a 100mm pipe.
$8,100 for a typical 10m run
Start here

CCTV survey first

The camera maps the line, measures the metres, counts the junctions and finds the faults. Every option above is quoted from that footage.

Right when: You do not yet know what is wrong, or you are checking a line before buying a property.
Wrong when: Never wrong. Every Reline job starts here, whichever option it ends in.
Surveyed first, then quoted
Pricing questions

What people ask about our pricing.

Why publish a rate card when nobody else does?
Because the number is defensible. Setup, a rate per metre and a line per junction is how the job actually costs, so printing it costs us nothing except the ability to invent a price on your driveway. We think that trade is worth it.
Can the price change once you approve it?
No. The CCTV survey measures the metres and counts the junctions, the rate card prices them, and the figure is fixed in writing. It only moves if you ask for extra work, agreed in writing before it happens.
Is the estimator figure a quote?
It is the rate card applied to your answers, which is the same maths the real quote uses. The survey replaces your estimates with measured numbers, and the footage is yours either way.
Do you ask for a deposit?
For larger relines we may ask for a deposit to lock in dates and liner materials. It is paid to a business account, itemised on the quote, and comes off the final invoice.
