What drives cost

Factors that move your quote up or down

Roof type

Metal is fastest and cheapest to repaint. Concrete tile takes longer due to wash and repair. Terracotta is the most delicate and costs most per square metre.

Condition

Broken tiles, failed ridge caps, and rust need repair before paint. Add $500-$2,500 depending on scope.

Access

Single-storey is cheapest. Double-storey adds scaffold or EWP. Steep-pitch roofs always cost more due to harness work.

Coat system

Standard restoration is a three-coat system (sealer, colour, glaze). Premium restorations use UV-resistant top glaze for longer life.

Colour change

Going from dark to light needs extra coverage. Add 10-15% to materials.
