Deck Repairs Melbourne
Timber deck repairs, board replacement, stair and handrail work, sanding and restoration for Melbourne homes.
A deck can look tired on the surface while also hiding movement around boards, stairs, rails or the framing below. Mel One starts with the condition of the complete outdoor area, then separates surface restoration from the carpentry repairs that need to happen first.
Work can include replacement of damaged or rotten boards, local repairs to steps and handrails, surface preparation, sanding and protective oiling. New decking can also be discussed, but this page focuses on homeowners who already have a deck that needs repair or renewal.
What to expect
A clear three-step repair process.
Repair first
Unsound timber and movement are addressed before cosmetic restoration.
Restore the surface
Preparation and the agreed protective finish complete the renewal.

Frequently asked questions
Useful answers before you request a quote.
How much does deck repair cost in Melbourne?
Cost depends on deck size, access, the number of failed boards, the condition of the substructure and whether sanding or oiling is included. Photos are a useful first step, followed by a site check where needed.
Can only the rotten deck boards be replaced?
Yes, when the surrounding boards and support structure are sound. If deterioration continues below or across a wider area, a larger repair may be more durable.
Should the deck be repaired before it is oiled?
Yes. Loose, damaged or rotten components should be addressed before surface preparation and coating so the finish is applied to a sound deck.
