Pricing guide

Costs are driven by how extensive the repair is and the condition of the existing substrate. Small, localised patch-and-touch-up work is typically less involved than full strip-and-recoat jobs, while access, finish matching and any regulatory or hazardous-material issues often increase the overall scope and time required. When the scope is unclear, a conservative estimate is usually used and photos can help tighten that assessment.

  • Repair extent and area size

    Isolated spot repairs usually take far less time than multiple affected areas or full-wall recoats.

  • Substrate condition and adhesion

    Good adhesion generally allows simple patching, whereas delamination, active moisture or damaged substrate often requires more extensive remediation.

  • Access, height and scaffolding needs

    Jobs that require scaffold, elevated access or awkward site conditions typically take longer and need extra resources.

  • Finish, texture and colour matching

    Specialist textures or close colour matching may require additional prep, samples or larger contiguous recoats to achieve a good result.

  • Regulatory or hazardous-material requirements

    If asbestos, other hazardous materials or structural trade work is present, the scope and compliance obligations often broaden the job significantly.

Frequently asked questions

Do renderers need to be registered?
Registration requirements vary by state, and renderers who work on regulated scopes are usually required to be registered. It's generally worth confirming a provider's registration and any paperwork they can supply on completion.
Will exterior work need scaffolding?
Higher or multi-storey areas will typically need scaffold or elevated access, while ground-floor repairs may avoid it. If scaffold is needed, providers usually allow for that in their planning and timing.
What if hidden moisture or delamination is found?
If hidden delamination or active moisture is discovered, the scope will usually be reassessed and may expand to include substrate repairs or a full recoat. Providers will generally propose a revised approach before carrying out additional work.
How well can you match colour and texture?
Spot repairs are typically matched to a reasonable standard, but exact matches for specialist textures or whole walls may require extra work or a full recoat. Mentioning the finish when requesting quotes helps providers plan appropriate methods and samples.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
