Pool Pipe Relining in Perth

Pool pipe relining in Perth repairs a cracked or leaking pool line from the inside, so the paving, coping and garden around the pool stay where they are. We find the fault on camera first, then cure a new liner inside the old pipe.

Suction, return, skimmer and backwash lines

Pool pipe relining in Perth uses this kind of setup: a technician running the inversion drum that feeds a resin liner into a pipe from one access point.

Camera first

We look inside the pool line and show you the crack or open joint before quoting.

Paving stays down

The liner goes in from one end of the line, not through a trench beside the pool.

Recording handed over

You keep the inspection footage, whichever way you decide to fix it.

The problem

Why pool lines are hard to reach

Pool plumbing runs from the pool shell to the equipment, usually straight under the things you least want disturbed: the coping, the paving around the pool and the garden beside it.

Suction lines draw water from the pool to the pump.
Return lines carry filtered water back in.
Skimmer lines run from the skimmer box at the edge.
Backwash and waste lines take water away to the drain.

When one of these cracks or a joint lets go, the usual fix is to lift the pavers, dig beside the shell and replace the pipe. Relining is the other option.

Where pool pipework runs

Pool lines run from the shell, under the coping and paving, to the equipment. Relining works along the line from one end, so the surface above stays in place.

Confirm it first

Finding the fault on camera

Leaking pool pipe repair starts with knowing exactly where the pipe has failed. A CCTV inspection goes into the line and records cracks, open joints, roots and breaks along it. You see the same footage we do, and you keep the recording. It tells us where the damage is, how long the damaged length is, and whether the line can take a liner.

The fix

How a pool line is relined

The line is cleaned, then a resin-saturated liner goes in from one end, is pressed against the old pipe and cures hard in place. The old pipe stays in the ground as the outer shell, so the paving and coping above it are not lifted. Each step is set out in how pipe relining works, and what moves the price is on our pipe relining cost page.

The honest limit

When a direct repair makes more sense

Not every pool fault suits a liner. A very short section right at a fitting, or a pipe that has broken apart, can be better dug out and replaced. We can do that too, but where relining will do the job, we prefer it. The footage decides, and we will tell you which you have.

What people ask us about pool pipe relining

Can pool pipes be relined?

Often, yes. Suction, return, skimmer and backwash or waste lines are all pipes that can crack or open at a joint, and a liner can be cured inside a line that still holds its shape. Whether a particular line suits it depends on its size, its bends and how many fittings it passes through, which is what the camera run shows.

Do you need to lift the paving or coping?

Usually not for the relined length. The liner goes in from an opening at one end of the line, so the paving, coping and garden above it stay put. If a short section right at a fitting needs a direct repair, that small area may need opening up, and we will tell you before any work starts.

How do you find where the pool pipe is damaged?

We put a camera through the line and record what it sees: cracks, open joints, roots and breaks. You get the recording. If a pool technician has already narrowed down which line is losing water, send us what they found, because it tells us where to start. As a guide, a CCTV inspection starts from around $400 + GST, and that moves with the length of the line, access and site conditions.

Which pool lines can you reline?

The pipework between the pool and the equipment: suction lines, return lines, skimmer lines, and the backwash or waste line that runs to the drain. We do not work on the pump, filter or other pool equipment itself.

What does pool pipe relining cost?

It depends on how long the damaged length is, how the line is reached and what the camera finds, so the quote comes after the inspection. Our pipe relining cost page explains what moves the price.
