Commercial & Domestic Drain Repair

With over 35+ years experience, Fastfix are proud to serve Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas. We know how disruptive a broken or blocked drain can be to your home or business.

If you’ve got a persistant or reoccuring plumbing or drainage issue, you may need to get a drain repair. The qualified and expert team here at Fastfix can perform a number of drain repair services, from routine drain repair services, no-dig techniques and drainage system excavations.

Signs You Need a Drain Repair

A blockage that keeps returning is usually a warning sign. It often points to a fault in the pipe itself, and clearing it again only buys a little time. Spotting the problem early means a smaller, cheaper drain repair later.

Here are the common signs that your drains need more than a clear, as drain blockages can lead to foul smells and flooding:

  • Sinks, baths or toilets that drain slowly and block again soon after clearing
  • Gurgling sounds from plugholes or the toilet when water runs
  • Bad smells coming from drains, gullies or a patch of the garden
  • Damp patches, or water pooling on the drive or lawn with no obvious cause
  • Repeated blockages in the same spot
  • Cracked, sunken or soft ground above where a drain runs

If you have noticed any of these at home or at your premises, find the cause before it gets worse. A camera drain survey, including cctv drain surveys with high-definition cameras, shows exactly what is happening inside the pipe, identifying cracks and blockages in drains so underlying drainage issues can be diagnosed effectively and the drain repair is based on facts rather than guesswork. We cover Bristol, Bath and the wider South West, and can often be with you the same day.

Drain Repair Maintenance Works & Routine Drain Repair Services

 

If we are called out to clear a blockage, we can also find the root cause, deal with minor blockages, and carry out routine maintenance and ongoing maintenance to help prevent repeat problems rather than just one-off fixes. Our maintenance services and routine inspections help identify drain issues early, which can prevent costly repairs. At Fastfix, we carry all the latest equipment on call outs, so that we can resolve common and routine problems while on-site efficiently. This can save booking another plumbing appointment. We can also do these routine drain repairs if we spot an issue during a commercial or domestic CCTV Survey, and pre-planned maintenance agreements establish regular schedules for regular maintenance contracts.

Our engineers and vans are fully equipped to deal with the following drain repairs, including high pressure jetting for clearing blockages and high-pressure water jetting that clears stubborn drain blockages from commercial pipes;

  • Root cutting
  • Mass scale – Descaling
  • Concrete cutting
  • Fat and Grease removal, with proper fat, oil, and grease management being crucial in commercial kitchens

    Gutter cleaning

Jetting and cleaning remove debris and sludge buildup efficiently as part of our commercial drain repair work. Drain guards and strainers help stop debris entering plumbing systems.

 

No Dig Drain Repair

Drain Relining

At Fastfix we are experts in no dig drain repair technologies such as drain lining, drain relining, local lining, pipe relining as a non-invasive method, and pipe bursting. For Pitch fibre pipe, we can also carry out re-rounding.

Cost Effective Option Drain Repair

These drain repair techniques can often avoid the need for more costly excavations, with commercial drain repairs often using trenchless options for minimal disruption.

Drain Lining Work

Drain lining is an approved repair technique by the WRC (Water Research Council) and is often a quick solution, providing long-term repair to damaged drains. It is also a trenchless repair method for cracks and a non-invasive option for repairing damaged pipes.

Drain lining can be used at domestic and commercial properties and can cure problems in damaged pipes, such as leaking pipes, open joints, root intrusion and holes in pipes, and sometimes even partially collapsed pipes.

Often pipes that have been lined are said to last over 100 years if installed correctly by highly trained drainage engineers.

Drain Excavation

 

Often the cause of a blocked drain and blocked drainage pipes is an underlying problem. If the problem can’t be resolved using no-dig technologies then a drain excavation may be required, especially where issues such as tree roots need root removal to protect drain integrity. During drain excavations we will trace and locate the problem area and dig down to solve the issue, often by replacing the pipe with new or sectional repair, with replacement pipes helping restore smooth drainage system performance.

At Fastfix we are experienced in all types of excavation, locations and depths. Excavations should only be undertaken be trained and experienced drainage engineers. If you have been quoted for drainage works, we are happy to provide you with cost comparison quotation. So, get in contact today.

Domestic and Commercial Drain Repair

 

Fastfix repair drains for homeowners and for businesses across the South West, serving residential and commercial clients. The method is much the same, but the priorities differ, so we tailor our drainage services to suit each customer.

Drain Repair for Homeowners

A damaged drain at home can mean bad smells, slow drainage or water where it should not be, and blocked drains can also cause water damage and health hazards if left unresolved. We provide a professional drain service, work cleanly and tidily, explain what we have found in plain terms, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. Where a blocked drain turns out to have an underlying fault, we can often repair it on the same visit.

Drain Repair for Businesses

For commercial sites, downtime is the real cost for commercial clients. A drain fault in a shop, restaurant, office or industrial unit can close areas to staff and customers. It can also disrupt the daily routine on site. We schedule work around your opening hours, ensuring minimal disruption, and can handle commercial drain unblocking and repair together. Proper fat, oil, and grease management is especially important in commercial kitchens to help prevent blockages. A commercial CCTV survey before and after gives you a clear record for compliance and insurance.

Drain Repair FAQs

What is a Drain Repair?

A drain repair is fixing a damaged drain. A drain repair consists of finding the cause of the problem and choosing the correct repair work for the issue. Some drainage problems are annoying but fairly quick and easy to solve, while others may require more investigation and more complex work to fix issues.

How can I reduce the chance of my drains needing repairs?

All drains will be subject to wear and tear over time, which will eventually require repairs. However there are a few things you can do to minimise damage to your drains. For instance, we’ve written a blog post on the common causes of clogged drains and how to prevent them.

If you run a business, we also offer a bespoke commercial pre-planned Maintenance service which will pro-actively look at your drains in order to help prevent future issues before they build up.

Can you repair drains without digging them up?

Here at Fastfix we are experts in no-dig drain repairs!

What happens if my drain repair is an emergency?

We offer a 24 hour emergency plumbing service in Bristol and the surrounding areas for any urgent repair needs, alongside emergency drain unblocking available 24/7 for severe blockages. Rapid response is essential because emergency plumbing can deal with burst pipes and severe blockages, helping prevent water damage and health hazards at residential and commercial properties.

How much does it cost to repair a collapsed Drain?

This depends on many factors, such as the extent of the damage or repair. Contact us for a fast, no-obligation quote.

Can I fix my drain myself?

While some less serious drain repairs are possible to be fixed yourself, we’d always recommend calling a professional, qualified plumber with an experienced team and the right expertise. This is because there may be a deeper root cause of the issue which you may not be aware of, and it could cause bigger problems down the line.

How long does a drain repair take?

Many no-dig repairs are finished in a single visit. Excavation work can take longer, depending on depth and access. We give you a realistic timescale with your quote.

Will you need to dig up my garden or driveway?

Not always. No-dig methods like relining repair the pipe from the inside, with no digging. We only excavate when a pipe has collapsed or is too damaged to line.

Do you repair drains for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and commercial sites across Bristol, offering services in Bristol and the South West, with expert drainage services, invoicing and survey reports to suit, plus quality workmanship.
