Common Causes For Render/ Cladding Cracks
Poorly Applied Render
- Render mix may be weak due to insufficient cement and excessive sand.
- High sand ratio can hinder paint adhesion, leading to peeling.
- Render mixes often lack waterproofing, increasing
STRUCTURAL MOVEMENT
- Soil conditions or poor foundations may cause house movement.
- Movement can lead to stress fractures in the render.
- Insufficient wall ties installed by bricklayers may exacerbate the issue.
NO TOP COAT OVER TEXTURE COATING.
- Some Renderers/ Builders avoid the top coat to save costs or due to very low margins/ shortcuts.
- This omission significantly shortens the lifespan of the finish.
- Missing the top coat increases vulnerability to early deterioration and mold growth

FAQ -A Guide to Render Repairs in Melbourne
What causes render to crack or deteriorate?
Render damage usually happens because of harsh weather, moisture entering, building movement, poor application methods, and the natural ageing of the material. These factors can cause cracks, bubbling, and eventual peeling of the render.
How do I know if my render needs repairs?
Signs that your render needs attention include visible cracks (hairline or large), blistering or bubbling, discoloration, peeling, and water stains. Detecting these early is crucial to prevent further damage and maintain your property’s insulation and appearance.
Can render repairs improve my property’s durability?
Timely render repairs do more than just keep your property looking its best—they also help protect it! Getting professional repairs ensures your walls stay strong longer by promoting good adhesion, sealing out moisture, and boosting resistance. It’s a caring way to preserve the beauty and integrity of your home.
Are render repair services a DIY project?
While small cosmetic fixes might seem straightforward, it’s really best to leave more complex render repairs to the experts. Skilled technicians have the right tools and the experience to find hidden problems, match textures seamlessly, and use the proper repair materials to make sure everything lasts a long time.
How much do render repair services typically cost?
The cost of render repairs varies depending on how much damage there is, the type of render (such as cement or acrylic), and the size of the area affected. Small repairs might only cost a few hundred dollars, while larger re-rendering projects could be much more expensive. It’s a good idea to get a professional inspection and estimate to understand the exact costs involved.
How long do render repairs usually take?
Most standard render repair jobs can usually be finished within just 1–2 days if it’s a small area. For bigger repairs, it might take a bit longer, around 3–5 days, since we need to account for drying and curing time. Of course, weather conditions and the specific repair method can also influence how long it takes.
What methods are used in render repair?
Common render repair methods often involve patching up small cracks, re-bonding or injecting repairs for larger cracks, and sometimes full re-rendering if the damage is more severe. Techniques like matching textures and colours, combined with waterproofing treatments, help make the repairs not only durable but also look great.
Do render repairs increase property value?
Absolutely! Well-executed render repairs can truly transform your property, making it more inviting and structurally sound. Taking good care of your render not only helps with energy efficiency and weather protection, but it can also boost your home’s market value. It’s a wonderful way to enhance your overall home environment!
