Iron Roof Restoration

Wouldn't it be amazing to open your eyes in the morning and be delighted with the magnificence of your roof?

Why Your Metal Roof Needs Restoration (Before It's Too Late)

Your metal roof is one of your home’s first lines of defence against Melbourne’s ever-changing weather — from blazing summer heat to heavy rain and chilly winters. Over time, even the toughest roofs start to show signs of wear and tear. That’s where professional metal roof restoration comes in.

We specialise in the restoration of old faded colorbond roofs, and with our unique restoration process, we understand that iron roof repair is not only about extending the life of your roof, but also about improving its appearance, energy efficiency, and overall performance.

Signs Your Metal Roof Needs Restoration

Not sure if your roof needs attention? Here are some common warning signs:

Fading or chalky paint
Rust patches or corrosion
Leaks or water stains inside your home
Loose or missing screws
Dents, cracks, or visible damage
Increased energy bills (poor insulation due to roof damage)

If you’re seeing any of the above, it’s time to act before minor issues become major (and costly) problems.

Is It Worth Restoring a Metal Roof?

Absolutely. Restoring your metal roof is a smart and cost-effective alternative to a full roof replacement. A quality restoration:

Extends the lifespan of your roof by 10–15 years or more
Improves the look and value of your home
Prevents future leaks and structural damage
Boosts energy efficiency with reflective coatings
Costs significantly less than a full replacement
Makes your home storm safe and weather proof.
Clean tank water. You can collect drinking water off a restored roof.

Our Melbourne-based team uses premium, eco-friendly coatings built for Australian conditions. These coatings protect your roof from UV damage, rust, and moisture while giving it a like-new finish.

What Happens If You Don’t Restore Your Metal Roof?

Delaying roof maintenance can lead to:

Hidden water damage and mould can lead to expensive repairs — often only noticed when it’s too late.
Structural issues from ongoing leaks
Rust spreading beyond repair
Higher energy bills
A complete roof replacement sooner than expected

Ignoring the signs puts your home — and your wallet — at risk.

The EcoShield Coating Process

At EcoShield Coating, we give every roof the care it deserves by following a consistent, thorough process - so nothing ever gets overlooked.

Step 1: Comprehensive Roof Inspection

Every great roof restoration starts with a thorough check-up. When we arrive at your Melbourne property, we begin with a detailed roof inspection — looking for signs of rust, wear and tear, cracked silicone, blocked gutters, and damaged valleys. By identifying issues early, we can ensure your roof restoration is built on a solid foundation.

Step 2: Professional High-Pressure Cleaning

A clean surface is essential for a long-lasting finish. That’s why we use high-powered pressure washers to remove dirt, mould, moss, and any built-up debris from your iron roof. Our cleaning process ensures your roof is spotless and ready for coating, giving the paint something strong to stick to — and helping it last for years to come.

Step 3: Roof Repairs & Rust Treatment

Next, we get to work on any repairs. This includes grinding and treating surface rust with rust converter, replacing heavily rusted sheets and fixing or replacing loose or corroded nails and screws. Our goal is to restore the strength of your roof and ensure all damage is professionally repaired before the coating process begins.

Step 4: Roof Preparation & Protective Masking

With the surface repaired and clean, we double-check every screw, flash, and seal to ensure everything is watertight and ready. We also mask off all surrounding areas — walls, solar panels, skylights — to protect your home from overspray and ensure a clean, professional finish.

Step 5: Priming & Premium Roof Coating

Now for the transformation! We apply a high-quality primer tailored to your roof’s condition to ensure perfect adhesion. Once that’s cured, we coat your roof with a heat-reflective membrane — designed to reflect Melbourne’s summer heat and withstand Australia’s changing weather. This not only enhances the look of your roof but can help reduce indoor temperatures too.

Step 6: Finishing Touches & Final Reveal

We carefully remove all masking and perform any final touch-ups to ensure your roof looks flawless from every angle. When we reveal your freshly restored roof, we want it to take your breath away — and we’re confident it will.
