How We Help

Roman Rod provides professional no-dig drain repair services across Bath, Chippenham, Frome, and the wider Somerset and Wiltshire area.

Using advanced CCTV drain surveys, we locate the exact cause of a drain problem without unnecessary excavation. Many issues — from cracks to root ingress — can be repaired using modern structural lining methods that avoid the disruption of digging up your property.

Wherever possible, our engineers will recommend these faster, tidier, and more cost-effective solutions to restore your drains to full working order.

When drains are cracked, weakened by root damage, or suffering from age-related wear, Roman Rod uses structural drain lining to create a strong new pipe within the existing one.

How it works:

  • A flexible liner coated with specialist resin is inserted into the damaged pipe.
  • Using water or air pressure, the liner is inflated so it bonds firmly against the pipe walls.
  • The resin hardens (“cures”), creating a smooth, watertight new pipe inside the old one.
    This method repairs cracks, holes, and damage without the need for excavation. In most cases, the repair can be completed in a single day, with results lasting 20–50 years.

Not every damaged drain requires a full re-lining. For localised faults, Roman Rod can carry out patch repairs — a cost-effective alternative to full excavation.

Benefits of patch repairs:

  • Repairs only the affected section of pipe.
  • Avoids the expense and disruption of digging up driveways, gardens, or floors.
  • Provides a durable fix at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
  • Often completed in just hours, minimising downtime and mess.

By choosing patch repairs where appropriate, homeowners and businesses can save thousands in excavation and reinstatement costs, while still securing a long-lasting solution.
