How Much Does Concrete Cancer Repairs Cost?
How Much Does It Cost To Repair Concrete Cancer?
The cost for Concrete Cancer Repairs varies widely depending on the scale of deterioration and the complexity of the job. Small, localised repairs may only cost a few thousand dollars, while severe or widespread structural damage can exceed $50,000+.
As a general guide, many industry professionals estimate pricing at around $100 per litre of repair material, though this can change based on site conditions and labour requirements.
A number of key factors influence the overall price. Below is a clearer, more detailed breakdown:
Minor Concrete Cancer Repairs:
For small areas where corrosion and spalling are limited, repairs may cost from a few thousand dollars, depending on depth, access, and preparation requirements.
Major Structural Repairs:
Large, complex projects—especially those involving beams, columns, suspended slabs, or heavily damaged balconies—can reach tens of thousands of dollars, particularly when structural reinforcement is required.
What Affects The Cost Of Concrete Cancer Repairs:
Severity and Size of the Damage:
The larger and deeper the concrete cancer, the more labour, materials, and time are required. Extensive corrosion significantly increases project costs.
Structural Complexity:
Repairs involving structural elements—such as beams, lintels, columns, or multi-level balconies—demand additional engineering considerations, which raises the price.
Access and Site Conditions:
Poor access (e.g., high-rise balconies, confined spaces, or difficult elevations) increases labour costs. Scaffolding alone can exceed $15,000 per elevation, depending on height and required safety systems.
Additional Restoration Work:
Extra services such as waterproofing, crack sealing, protective membranes, or anti-carbonation coatings will increase the total project cost but are often necessary for long-term durability.
Fixing the Underlying Cause:
Concrete cancer will return unless the root issue—typically water ingress or poor waterproofing—is addressed. Correcting the source prevents repeat repairs and avoids paying for the same issue twice
What Is A Minimum Job Charge?
A minimum job charge is a minimum amount you will bill the customer, applicable when a job is so small that charging per square metre doesn’t make up for the time spent on the job and administrative overheads of the business.
It should be noted that we don’t always charge a minimum job charge fee, but we do so when required.
Do We Have A Minimum Job Charge?
Yes, our minimum job charge is $2,500 (Inc GST)
Reasons Why Minimum Job Charges Exist
Minimum job charges exist due to a large range of factors, such as, but not limited to:
– Paying the team member(s) who did your job a full day’s pay of $450 / per employee (Regardless of how long the job took)
– Paying 10% to GST
– Paying 35% to TAX
– Office expenses
– Paying for tools
– Paying for petrol
– Office staff salary
– Website expenses
– Paying for advertising
– What service(s) are required
– How many square metres the job is
– Paying for ICare worker’s insurance
– Travel charges (Long Distance Jobs)
– Paying for materials (such as cement bags)
– Paying for business insurance (Public Liability)
– Paying for waste disposal (Recycling whenever possible)
– Paying for things such as vehicle and tool maintenance/repairs
– Factoring in everything we have stated above, this is why “minimum job charge fees” may be applied. Thank you for your understanding.
