We fix the pipe without digging up your driveway, your lawn or your pool surrounds.
Leave your details and we will ring you back.
When a sewer pipe cracks, the old answer was to dig it up. That means a trench across the lawn, or through a driveway, or under a deck that took a fortnight to build. The repair is the cheap part. Putting the yard back is not.
Relining does the same job from the inside. A resin liner goes in through an existing access point, gets inflated against the old pipe wall, and cures into a new pipe inside the old one. No trench, no jackhammer, no landscaping bill.
It suits the two most common failures we see. Root intrusion, where roots have prised joints apart in older earthenware, and cracked or fractured sections in ground that has moved. Both are very common in older Gold Coast and Brisbane suburbs.
Even a collapsed or deformed section can often be cut back from the inside with a robotic cutter to reopen the bore, then lined. A run with no fall left in it is the one that still needs replacing. The camera tells us which you have before you commit to anything.
Nothing gets quoted off a guess. The camera shows exactly where the damage is, how long it runs, and whether the pipe is a candidate for lining at all.
The old pipe gets jetted and cut clean so the liner bonds properly. Roots, scale and build-up all come out first.
Resin liner goes in through the existing access, inflates against the pipe wall and cures in place. Most jobs are done in a day.
Second inspection confirms the new pipe is smooth end to end with no wrinkles or gaps. You see the footage, not just our word for it.
Relining is priced by the metre and by how difficult the access is, so it gets quoted after the camera inspection rather than over the phone.
It is usually dearer than a straight dig-and-replace on an open lawn, and considerably cheaper once a driveway, a pool surround or established landscaping is in the way. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in.
$0 call-out and free quotes. The camera inspection tells us both what we are dealing with.

Relining is not always the answer, and anyone who says it is has not looked at the pipe. Here is what decides it.
A collapsed or deformed section can often be cut back from the inside with a robotic cutter to reopen the bore, and then lined. The camera tells us whether yours can be.
This is usually the real question. A trench through lawn is cheap. A trench through a stamped concrete driveway, a pool surround or established landscaping costs more than the plumbing does.
Relining goes in through an existing access point. If there is a usable one, no digging. If there is not, we may need to open one small spot.
Long straight runs are ideal. A lot of sharp bends can make a liner impractical, and we will say so rather than trying it and failing.
Every one of the above is a guess until the line has been looked at. That is why the camera goes down first, every time, before anyone quotes.
The honest version: relining suits most root damage and cracked joints in otherwise sound pipe, and it is at its best where digging would wreck something expensive. A collapsed section can often be cut back from the inside and lined too, and the camera tells us whether yours can be.
A liner soaked in resin goes into the old pipe soft, gets inflated so it presses against the inside wall, and cures hard. What you end up with is a new pipe formed inside the old one, joined at nothing.
Because there are no joints in it, the thing roots were getting through is gone. That is the point of it, not just avoiding the digging.
Anywhere the ground above the pipe is worth more than the pipe. Under a driveway, a slab, a paved courtyard, an established garden, or a line that runs beneath the house.
For a short break in reachable ground, digging is usually cheaper and we will say so. The honest answer is not always the bigger invoice.
The camera decides everything. It shows whether the pipe is cracked, root damaged or has dropped, and whether there is enough of it left to line.
A collapsed section can often be cut back from the inside with a robotic cutter to reopen the bore, and then lined. You get told what yours needs before you spend anything, not after.
That is fine. Most people ring us with symptoms, not answers. We will help you work out what needs doing and what can wait.
You do not need to know whether to call it pipe relining or something else. Tell us what you can see, what has changed, and whether the problem is getting worse. From there we can send the right gear instead of making you diagnose it.
Some pipe relining work has more than one sensible fix. If a smaller repair will get you through, we will say so. If it is likely to fail again soon, we will say that too, then let you choose what suits the house and the budget.
For pipe relining, photos can save time: the label, the leak, the access point, or the place where water is showing. We still confirm it on site, but the extra context helps us bring what the job is likely to need.
The liner goes in soft, inflates against the inside of the old pipe and cures hard. No trench, no reinstating the driveway.
Six ways to spend less on the job you already need done. Mention the offer when you book and we apply it to the quote before anything starts.
Matt came to our home was a delight to work with. Excellent workmanship and very courteous. Went above and beyond to assist. He provided us with quotes for various plumbing items, he quickly provided a detailed quote, explained options. He was excellent at commencing work in one area, and double checked water pressure in our area, hot water system and the plumbing items I had purchased. A great tradesman. Thoroughly recommend. Thankyou Matt.
Had an issue with our 16 year old toilet leaking from underneath the pan somewhere. Called Blake & he sent Lachlan out the following morning to diagnose & quote. Lachlan gave us 3 options, which was great. We chose the middle one, which included replacing all the internals, so hopefully we should be OK for another 16 years! Both Blake & Lachlan were great to deal with & Lachlan did a great job - definitely better than the original installation, which looked a bit dodgy! Happy to recommend.
fantastic plumbing experience GENIES Plumbing installed a new shower for me. Sensational job done. THEY WERE FRIENDLY, DILIGENT, answered all questions, cleaned up, Very happy with the finished product. Thank you GENIES plumbing!
This is the type of plumbing service that everybody wants. They quote before they do the job. They turn up when they say they will. And they're very good at what they do. Good Service - Fair Price - not something you normally say about Plumbers these days. Keep up the great work Blake, Lachie and Raif.
Amazing service. Highly recommend Lachlan and Genies Plumbing. Thank you for taking time out of your Saturday to put in my new hot water system. Truly a work of art!
Absolutely amazing service from the moment I got in touch with them, and in particular Blake. I explained to him my issue and he took the time and effort (completely unprompted) in providing steps of how he would tackle the problem. When it came time to actually have the issue physically looked at, Lachie gave me a call and let me know how far away he was; he arrived promptly and on-time, and was able to very quickly diagnose and provide a solution. I was quoted on the spot and not pressured whatsoever to have more things looked at than I needed to, which I very much appreciated. While I've got my fingers crossed to not have any further short-term issues with my property's plumbing, I'd wholeheartedly recommend these guys and gals to anyone willing to listen. I'm sure there are many other great plumbing businesses around the Gold Coast, but for my money I'd much rather support a local family-owned business providing a very honest and transparent service, who also aren't looking to bleed your wallet dry.
Very happy with the service from Genies Plumbing. We had a leaking kitchen tap and Blake was out in a couple of hours. He sourced a new one, came back later in the day and fitted it. He advised his arrival times very efficiently and was friendly and polite. Would certainly recommend him and call on him again when necessary.
Matty was honest, genuine, and professional from start to finish. It’s not always easy to find a plumber you can trust, but Matty was upfront, reliable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. A great company with fantastic service. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy plumber. I wish them every bit of success in the future - they truly deserve it!
Genie plumbing was magic !! Locky was here on time and knew his trade !! We are doing a renovation in the bathroom and he was great! He is coming back today to install the hot n cold pipes, then the fit out next. The drainage was installed first trip. Nothing was a problem for Lochy ! Good pricing and would definitely recommend Genie Plumbing ✓ Worth 6 stars ★★★★★★ Geoff Tamplin
I live in a unit complex and had to get my hot water system replaced as it was old and also to meet the current standards and regulations. I contacted the boys at Genies Plumbing. To say I was happy with their service is an understatement. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They were prompt professional and very neat and tidy and took the time to show me how everything worked and answer all my questions. Thanks Blake and Lachlan for a great job.
Really Impressed !!! Blake and Genies Plumbing did an amazing job and a great price. They listened to what I needed and made it work. They were available really quickly to do the job and I’m really happy with the result.... Already got a couple more jobs for them to do...Well Done Genies Plumbing
Lachlan from Genies Plumbing arrived on time and thoroughly looked over the job before providing us with a quote which he fully explained. He then cracked on with the work and did an amazing job! He was super easy to deal with and had our bathroom fitted off and functioning within a couple of hours. Very pleased we used Genies Plumbing and would recommend them.
Genies Plumbing team was very friendly and explained the different options we could choose from. They were able to do the job the next day! Would recommend and will be having them again for any plumbing needs.
I had a blocked kitchen sink and was quite concerned about the potential for damage and inconvenience. I called Genies Plumbing and once again received outstanding service from Blake. He was prompt, professional, and explained everything clearly. This isn’t the first time I’ve called on Blake, and every time he delivers reliable, high-quality work with genuine care. I really appreciate his consistency, attention to detail, and friendly approach. Highly recommend Genies Plumbing — especially Blake — for exceptional service you can trust!
Blake and Lachlan assisted us with a very complex realignment. They were brilliant. They took the time to explain everything, kept me updated with any issues that arose, kept on time and impressively on budget. They could not have worked harder to resolve our issues. I was so worried that we would need to crack our slab and have to retile the majority of our house. These boys made a plan and stuck to it. Fabulous outcome!!
Great service, friendly, reliable and professional. Thanks to Blake and Lachy, we had a water main leak detected and repaired in no time. They went above and beyond to make sure we had rectified the issue quickly. Highly recommended and will be using Genies for all of our plumbing needs in the future
Blake and Lachlan from Genies Plumbing were really helpful when installing a new hot water heater in my home. It was a quick process with excellent workmanship and very reasonable cost. They were both lovely to deal with and communicated with me at all times. I am so glad Genies Plumbing was recommended to me by my electrician. Will definitely call on them again. Trish
From the moment we made the call with our list of to do's - to the moment the boys came and left after the job completion- the entire help was incredible, and the workmanship was thorough and detailed and reasonable". This workmanship advise is Beyond MOST service and help we have experienced over the last few years. Thank you boys! This type of experience is often not the most favourite one for many people, but in this case, what a great time to get everything sorted with an ease of mind and honesty personified. 2 showers 1 bath 1 laundry 1 bathroom sink Thanks again team - we'll see you again. You'll be our first point of call . A++++
I called Blake to help locate a tricky water leak on our acreage property, he quickly identified multiple leaks on both the council and our side of the line and got them all fixed. He kept us informed every step of the way, and was incredibly responsive and professional, and a genuinely nice person. He's also helping put together a storm water system to help manage the water drainage away from the house during storms. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Blake for any plumbing job, big or small.
Had some plumbing work done by Blake from Genies Plumbing — removal of an old water meter and repair/replacement of some leaking pipework. Communication was great from start to finish, he was prompt, friendly, well priced, and made sure everything was cleaned up afterwards. Really happy with the work. Would definitely recommend and use again.
The liner is designed for a fifty year service life. It is a new pipe inside the old one, and it has no joints for roots to get back into.
Usually not. We work through an existing inspection opening. Occasionally one small access pit is needed, which is still a world away from a trench.
Not through a lined section. The old joints are what let them in, and the liner seals straight over them.
Most can. A collapsed or deformed section can often be cut back from the inside and lined. A run with no fall is the one that has to be replaced. The camera tells us before you have spent anything.
Most domestic jobs are done in a day, including the inspections either side.
It depends on what is above the pipe. On an open lawn a dig and replace is often cheaper and just as good. Once the run goes under a driveway, a pool surround or established landscaping, relining is usually the cheaper answer by the time you count putting the yard back, and it is finished in a day rather than a fortnight. The camera tells us which situation you are in before you commit to anything.
We do not publish a per metre rate, because the metres are only half of it. The price moves on how long the damaged run is, how many access points there are and whether one has to be dug, how many bends and junctions the liner has to pass, and the diameter of the pipe. A short run through an existing opening and a long run under a driveway are very different jobs. The camera goes down first and the quote comes off what it finds, with no call-out fee either way.
