Pricing guide

Cost mainly depends on the scope of work: a straightforward single-visit repair is typically less expensive than removing and replacing whole panels or slabs. Specialist finishes, the need for plant hire, haulage/disposal or permits usually increase time and materials. Labour and callout charges also affect the final price, and after-hours attendance will generally raise costs.

  • Repair versus full replacement

    Removing and reinstating whole panels or slabs requires more labour, base preparation and reinforcement than a standard repair.

  • Type of finish required

    Decorative or specialist finishes (coloured, exposed aggregate, polished) usually need extra finishing time, materials and curing.

  • Need for plant, permits or access

    Jobs needing small or large plant, restricted access or local permits typically add complexity and may extend the schedule.

  • Materials, haulage and disposal

    Extent of removed concrete and any special disposal requirements affect materials, haulage and on-site waste handling.

  • Number of visits and curing time

    Some repairs are completed in a single visit, while replacements or colour-matching finishes often require multiple visits for reinstatement and curing.

Frequently asked questions

Do concreters need to be licensed?
Yes — licensing is mandatory for concreting work. You should confirm the provider holds the appropriate licence for your state or territory, and be aware that some larger jobs may also need permits.
How is slab replacement different from a repair?
Replacement involves full removal, base preparation, new reinforcement and reinstatement rather than a surface patch. It typically takes more time and may require plant hire, additional disposal and permit considerations.
Can you match existing concrete colour and finish?
Matching aged concrete can be difficult and is not always exact. Colour-matching or achieving a specific decorative finish usually requires extra preparation and additional visits or trial coats.
How many visits will the job usually need?
Many standard repairs are typically completed in a single visit. However, slab replacements and premium finishes usually need additional visits for base work, reinstatement, finishing and curing.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to concreters — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
