Why Choose Us for Metal Roof Restoration in South Perth?
South Perth's post-war homes and some newer builds have Colorbond metal roofs that fade and sometimes rust at the edges and valleys over 20 to 30 years. Surface rust needs cleaning back to sound metal before you coat, otherwise the paint won't bond properly. Our three-coat system protects that clean surface. It's a clean and repaint, and we check fasteners and flashing details closely because water finds those weak spots first, flagging anything genuinely failed rather than painting over it. We clean at the pressure level the metal can handle and apply Dulux Acratex finish in colours that look fresh without looking new. Cost is usually $9,200 to $12,500 for a single-storey home, and the finish runs 12 to 15 years depending on tree coverage and proximity to the river.
River salt air and humidity cause Colorbond to rust and fade faster in South Perth than in inland suburbs. Post-war and contemporary homes with metal roofs suffer this wear. We wash surface rust back to sound metal, apply a corrosion inhibitor primer, then coat with three layers of Dulux Acratex. The full restoration protects the roof for years, and the coating carries a 15-year Dulux manufacturer warranty. Fading Colorbond gets colour matched back to original tones where possible.

South Perth occupies one of Perth's most coveted positions - just 3km from the CBD across the Swan River, with direct skyline views from many streets.

With property values ranging from $1.5M to well over $4M, South Perth homeowners expect restoration work that matches the suburb's prestige.

Benefits of Metal Roof Restoration for South Perth Properties
Brings faded Colorbond back
Colorbond chalks and fades after years of Perth sun. A proper restoration strips off the chalking and dirt, primes the surface, and recoats it so it looks new again, for far less than re-sheeting.
Protects the surface, not just paint
A fresh primer and Acratex topcoat seal the cleaned surface against Perth's UV and weather, so the colour holds instead of chalking away. Clean and repaint only, we don't do rust remediation or sheet repairs.
Dulux Acratex, 15-year warranty
We're accredited applicators and use the metal-roof Acratex system, which carries a 15-year manufacturer warranty when applied properly. We apply it properly.
Cheaper than replacement
If the sheets are sound and it's just faded and chalking, restoration costs a fraction of a full re-roof and adds years to the roof's life.
Our Metal Roof Restoration Process in South Perth
- 1
Inspect and quote
We check that the sheets are sound and the coating's just faded, then give you a fixed price and tell you honestly if it's restorable or past it.
Why it matters: A recoat only makes sense if the steel underneath is sound.
- 2
High-pressure clean
High-pressure clean to strip chalking, dirt and surface oxidation back to a sound, paintable surface.
Why it matters: Coatings only bond to clean, sound metal.
- 3
Prime
A metal-grade primer goes down across the cleaned roof to key the topcoat to the steel.
Why it matters: The primer is what makes the coating last.
- 4
Topcoat
Two coats of the Acratex metal membrane in your chosen colour, applied to spec for an even, durable finish.
Why it matters: Full film thickness is what the warranty depends on.

The restoration protects the roof for years and comes with a 15-year warranty on materials. Most single-storey homes run $9,200 to $12,500.
Does salt air from the Swan River really affect metal roofs faster? ▾
Yes. Colorbond in riverside areas like South Perth rusts and fades faster due to humidity and salt. That's why metal roof restoration is common here. Regular maintenance helps, but eventually a full clean and repaint is the best protection for sheeting that's still sound.
Can a faded Colorbond roof be restored? ▾
Yes. Faded, chalking Colorbond is one of the most common metal-roof jobs in Perth. We clean it back, prime it, and recoat it with Dulux Acratex so it looks new, without the cost of re-sheeting.

It depends on the roof's size, pitch, condition, and access. Call 08 6388 4492 or request a quote for a fixed price. It's well below the cost of replacing the roof when the sheets are still sound.
What if my metal roof has rust? ▾

How long does it last? ▾

Is restoration better than replacing the roof? ▾
If the sheets are structurally sound and it's just faded and chalking, restoration is the cheaper, sensible option. If the steel's rusting through or failing, replacement makes more sense. We give you a straight assessment.
