Drain Patching Glasgow & Scotland

Professional Drain Patching Services

Drain patching is an innovative, cost-effective method for repairing localised damage to your drainage system. At DrainTek UK, we use advanced patch lining technology to fix cracks, holes, and joint damage without the need for disruptive and expensive excavation work.

This no-dig repair solution is ideal for addressing specific problem areas identified during CCTV surveys, providing a long-lasting repair that restores your drain's structural integrity and flow capacity.

What Is Drain Patching?

Drain patching involves installing a resin-saturated patch at the exact location of damage within a pipe. The process works as follows:

• A CCTV survey identifies the precise location and extent of damage
• The damaged area is cleaned and prepared
• A fibreglass patch saturated with epoxy resin is positioned at the damage site
• The patch is inflated against the pipe wall using a packer
• UV light or ambient curing hardens the resin, bonding it to the pipe
• The result is a smooth, strong repair that seals the damage

When Is Drain Patching Suitable?

Drain patching is ideal for repairing:

• Localised Cracks: Individual cracks or fractures in otherwise good pipes
• Joint Damage: Displaced or leaking pipe joints
• Small Holes: Corrosion holes or impact damage
• Root Damage: Areas where roots have penetrated joints
• Connection Points: Damaged lateral connections

Benefits of Drain Patching

Choosing drain patching offers numerous advantages:

• No Excavation: All work done from inside the pipe
• Cost-Effective: Significantly cheaper than traditional dig-and-replace
• Minimal Disruption: No damage to gardens, driveways, or buildings
• Fast Installation: Most patches installed in hours, not days
• Long-Lasting: Patches designed to last 50+ years
• Versatile: Works on most pipe materials and sizes
• Targeted Repair: Fix only the damaged area, not the whole pipe

Drain Patching vs Full Relining

While full drain relining creates a new pipe within the existing one, drain patching targets specific damage points. Patching is more suitable when:

• Damage is localised to one or a few areas
• The rest of the pipe is in good condition
• Budget is a primary concern
• A quick repair is needed

Full relining may be recommended when damage is extensive or the pipe has multiple problem areas. Our engineers will advise on the best solution for your situation.
