Pricing guide

Costs vary primarily with whether the job is a local surface patch, a structural remediation involving exposed or corroded reinforcement, or a large-area resurfacing or overlay. Structural work that requires rust removal, rebar repair or engineer-specified methods is typically more complex and often more expensive than basic patching. Site access, need for specialised plant, staged curing and after-hours attendance can also affect the final cost.

  • Extent and depth of damage

    Local surface repairs are usually quicker than full‑depth or widespread concrete replacement.

  • Presence of corroded reinforcement

    Exposed or corroded rebar typically requires rust treatment or partial replacement and specialised mortars.

  • Need for engineered remediation

    If an engineer is required to specify repairs or materials, the remediation approach and risk contingency can increase.

  • Area size and finish type

    Large-area overlays or coloured/stamped finishes generally need more preparation, materials and labour than small patches.

  • Site access and equipment needs

    Restricted access or the need for grinding, shot‑blasting or plant can extend time on site and complicate logistics.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the repair usually take?
Timing depends on the repair type; small surface patches are typically completed faster than full‑depth or structural work. Resurfacing or overlay jobs may be staged and require curing time between steps, which can extend the overall programme.
When will an engineer be needed?
An engineer is usually needed for full‑depth repairs, structural remediation or where reinforcement is exposed and corroded. If engineering is required, they may specify materials or methods and their fees are generally separate from the repair cost.
Do concreters need a licence?
Yes — a licence is mandatory for concreters undertaking this kind of repair work. You should check your state or territory requirements when engaging a provider.
What site preparation might be required from me?
Work often requires clearing the area and providing vehicle access for equipment, and surface preparation like grinding or shot‑blasting may be needed. You should also expect staged work and curing periods for overlays or large repairs.
