A roof leak can feel like a crisis, especially when water is dripping into your home. The good news is that most leaks can be fixed quickly and affordably - and Leaky Roof is here to help you understand what to expect, both on the day and at the cost.
A typical roof leak repair in Canberra costs between $1,400 and $2,500, including GST. Minor fixes - like replacing a few roof tiles or sealing a small gap - can sometimes be resolved for a few hundred dollars, depending on what we find during the inspection.
The final cost depends on:
The only way to know for sure is to have a roofer inspect it. Don't guess - a professional inspection stops you from paying for the wrong fix.

Most leak repairs can be scheduled within a week. We'll tell you the expected time on site, arrive on schedule, and get the job done in a day.
Single tile replacement - $400 - $800
If one or two tiles are cracked or slipped, we replace them. Quick, affordable, and effective.
Flashing repair or replacement - $600 - $1,200
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights often fails first. We reseal or replace it.
Valley or ridge repair - $800 - $1,500
These high-traffic areas are vulnerable. We clean, inspect, and repair or re-seal.
Gutter and downpipe repair - $500 - $1,500
Blocked or damaged gutters cause water to back up and leak inside. We clear, repair, and ensure proper flow.
Roof membrane or sealant repair - $1,000 - $2,000
Flat or low-pitch roofs with membrane or tar-and-gravel need professional sealing to stop recurrent leaks.
Most jobs fall into the $1,400 - $2,500 range because they combine inspection, diagnosis, materials, and workmanship.
We don't charge extra for unexpected issues we find during the job - we discuss options with you first.
A leak gets worse the longer it sits. Water finds its way into insulation, timber, and plasterboard, which leads to:
The sooner you get it looked at, the cheaper the fix usually is.

How long does a roof leak repair take?
Most repairs take 1-2 days, depending on access and the scope of work. We'll confirm the timeline before we start.
Will the repair be covered by insurance?
Many policies cover storm damage and sudden leaks, but not wear-and-tear. We recommend checking your policy. We're happy to supply invoices and photos to help with your claim.
What if the leak comes back?
Our 5-year workmanship guarantee covers any repair we do. If it leaks again due to our work, we'll come back and fix it at no charge.
Can you repair a roof during rain?
Not safely or effectively. We'll reschedule for a dry day so the repair lasts.
Do I need a full roof replacement or just a repair?
That depends on the age and condition of your roof. If you're over 15 years old or have multiple leaks, a restoration or replacement might be better value long-term. We'll advise honestly after the inspection.
