How much does rendering cost?

Q: What affects the cost of rendering in Australia?

Area: Priced per m², so total wall area sets the baseline. Render system: Cement is cheapest but needs painting; acrylic and textured systems cost more per metre. Substrate condition: Painted, cracked or crumbling surfaces need preparation or bonding coats first. Access and height: Upper storeys and tight boundaries need scaffolds or platforms. Detail work: Corners, reveals, banding and pier caps take longer than open flat wall.

Rendering in Australia typically costs $35–$85 per m², with small feature walls and repairs from about $400 and full exteriors running $8,000–$20,000+.

Tips before you post

— Matching a patch repair to aged existing render is hard — plan to repaint the whole wall for an even finish.

— Ask which system is quoted (cement, acrylic, texture) and whether painting is included.

— Small jobs carry minimum charges, so bundle the fence, letterbox and feature wall into one visit.
