- Metal roof restoration covers a clean, rust treatment and re-coat - re-pointing does not apply.

- Prices are indicative national ranges for 2026 in Australian dollars and can vary with roof condition, colour and coating brand.
Cost calculator questions
How much does a roof restoration cost in Geelong?
A full concrete-tile restoration usually works out to roughly $32-$58 per m², so most Geelong homes land somewhere between about $4,000 and $9,000. Terracotta, steep or two-storey roofs sit at the higher end.
What's the difference between a repair, a clean & re-point, and a full restoration?
Repairs fix specific problems like a leak or cracked tiles. A clean & re-point pressure-cleans the roof and renews the ridge-cap pointing. A full restoration does all of that plus a three-coat protective membrane, which is what refreshes the colour and extends the roof's life.
Does my roof actually need restoring, or replacing?
If the tiles or sheets are structurally sound and it's mainly faded colour, moss, loose pointing or a few cracks, restoration is usually the cost-effective choice. If tiles are widely broken, delaminating or the roof leaks in many spots, a re-roof may be better value - a proper inspection will tell you which.
How long does a roof restoration take?
Most homes take about 2-4 days weather permitting - roughly a day to clean and repair, a day for re-pointing to cure, then the coating over the following days. Rain and cold can stretch the coating stage out.
Will a restoration fix my leak?
Often yes, if the leak is from cracked tiles, failed pointing or worn flashings, all of which are addressed during the work. Leaks caused by poor roof design, valley or box-gutter issues can need separate roof-plumbing work - we'll flag that after inspecting.
Do I need council approval?
A like-for-like restoration (clean, re-point, re-coat) generally doesn't need council approval. Changing the roof profile, re-roofing or structural work can, so check before committing to anything beyond a straight restoration.
