Drain repairs in Devon, what to expect and how to budget
Drain repairs can vary widely in cost and complexity, from simple unblocking to full excavation and pipe replacement. For homeowners across Devon, understanding the typical costs and what influences them can help you plan ahead and avoid unexpected bills.
At Drain Wizard, we believe in transparent pricing and honest advice. Here’s a breakdown of common drain repair services and what you can expect to pay.
Typical drain repair costs
While every job is different, here are some average price ranges for common drainage services:
- Basic unblocking: £80 to £150
This covers straightforward blockages that can be cleared quickly using rods or jetting. - CCTV drain survey: £100 to £250
A camera inspection helps diagnose the problem and assess the condition of your pipes. - Drain relining (no-dig repair): £400 to £1,000
This method involves inserting a resin lining into the pipe to seal cracks and restore flow, without excavation. The cost depends on the length and diameter of the pipe. - Full excavation and replacement: £1,500 and up
If the pipe is collapsed or severely damaged, digging may be required to replace it. This is the most expensive option and usually takes longer to complete.
Factors that affect the price
Several things can influence the final cost of a drain repair:
- Location and accessibility
Pipes under driveways, extensions or deep underground are harder to reach and may require specialist equipment or more labour. - Severity of the damage
A small crack is easier to fix than a collapsed section or root ingress that has spread through multiple joints. - Emergency call-out
If you need help outside normal working hours, such as evenings, weekends or bank holidays, the cost may be higher due to urgency and availability.
