When your Brisbane home’s gutters start showing their age, you’re faced with an important decision: should you invest in professional gutter painting or bite the bullet and replace them entirely?

Understanding Your Gutter’s Current Condition
Before weighing your options, it’s crucial to assess your gutters’ actual condition. Not all gutter problems require complete replacement, and understanding the difference can save you thousands of dollars.
When Gutter Painting is the Right Choice
Ideal Candidates for Gutter Painting:
- Gutters with surface fading but no rust
- Faded or chalky paint that’s lost its protective qualities
- Minor dents or scratches that don’t affect water flow
- Gutters aged 10-20 years with good structural integrity
- Colorbond gutters showing colour fade but no corrosion
Brisbane’s intense UV radiation and humidity create the perfect conditions for paint deterioration, but the underlying gutter material often remains perfectly sound. Professional gutter painting can restore both protection and appearance for a fraction of replacement cost.
When Gutter Replacement is Necessary
Clear Indicators for Replacement:
- Multiple holes or cracks that compromise water flow
- Separated joints that cannot be properly repaired
- Sagging sections indicating bracket failure
- Rust-through that has compromised structural integrity
- Gutters aged over 30 years with multiple issues
Cost Comparison: The Numbers That Matter
Understanding the financial implications helps Brisbane homeowners make informed decisions that protect both their home and their budget.
Gutter Painting Costs
Typical Investment Range:
- Small home (50-60 linear metres): $1,250 – $1,500 + GST
- Medium home (60-75 linear metres): $1,500 – $1,900 + GST
- Large home (100+ linear metres): $1900 – $2,500
- Double story homes are usually around 30% higher cost due to access equipment and extra time.
Gutter Replacement Costs
Complete Replacement Investment:
- Gutter replacement costs for a single storey home around Brisbane are $100 – $115 + GST per lineal metre. This is based on a single story home with good access.
The cost differential is significant – professional gutter painting typically costs 60-70% less than complete replacement while delivering 7-10 years of protection in Brisbane’s climate.
In summary, gutter painting offers a great value alternative to a full replacement for a gutter system that may be mid-way through its serviceable life. A new colour can be chosen matching that of the new roof restoration and from a visual point of view the gutters appear brand new.
