Your gutters are sagging, leaking or past repair, and you want a sense of the cost before you call anyone. This guide cannot tell you what your own roofline will cost, but it can show the published ranges and what moves them.
This guide sets out the published ranges, what moves the price, and how to get a real number. If you are ready to talk about your home, see our gutter replacement service in Brisbane. Brigs Plumbing is a licensed plumber based in Thorneside (QBCC 15161521) that replaces gutters and downpipes for homes across Brisbane and the Redlands.
How much does gutter replacement cost?
What's The Damage, an independent cost guide, puts gutter replacement at $40 to $110 per metre (typically $55) and a whole single-storey house including downpipes at $2,200 to $5,000 (typically $3,500), both national figures as of October 2026. They are not Brisbane or Brigs Plumbing prices. The real cost comes from a quote.
The published ranges at a glance
The table below shows the three ranges we can point to, all from What's The Damage, an independent cost guide.
| Item | Range | Typical | Scope and source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gutter replacement, per metre | $40 to $110 per metre | $55 per metre | National, October 2026 (What's The Damage) |
| Downpipe replacement, per metre | $35 to $90 per metre | $60 per metre | National, October 2026 (What's The Damage) |
| Gutter replacement, whole single-storey house including downpipes | $2,200 to $5,000 | $3,500 | National, October 2026 (What's The Damage) |
Note the scope of that last figure. It covers a single-storey house and it includes downpipes. A two-storey home, or a job that covers only part of the roofline, is a different job, and the table does not tell you where it would land. Do not total the per-metre figures yourself, because you would be guessing at a length and a profile you may not have confirmed.
What changes the cost of replacing gutters?
The main things that move a gutter price are:
- Gutter profile
- Material
- Length
- Storeys and roof access
Each driver matters on its own, and they interact. A longer run on a higher roof is a different job from a short run at ground-floor height. That is why the published per-metre range is so wide, and why we do not try to narrow it down from a distance.
Want a firm price for your job?
We look at the job and quote before any work starts, so you know the cost up front.
Gutters and downpipes as part of roof plumbing
Gutters and downpipes sit at the edge of the roof, so the work is closely tied to the rest of the roof. Brigs Plumbing handles gutters and downpipes as part of its roof plumbing and gutter work for homes across Brisbane and the Redlands. You can read more on the roof plumbing page.
Brigs Plumbing serves homes in the Brisbane, Redland, Logan, Moreton Bay and Ipswich council areas, from its base in Thorneside.
How do I get an exact price for my gutters?
The real cost depends on the job, and the way to know is a quote. Brigs Plumbing quotes every job before work starts, so you know the figure for your home before anything is begun.
When you get in touch, it helps to have these ready:
- Your address and suburb
- Whether the house is single-storey or higher
- Whether you need the gutters, the downpipes, or both replaced
- Anything you have noticed, such as leaks, sagging or overflow
That gives the plumber a clear picture of the job before the quote.
Frequently asked questions
Are these gutter replacement prices for Brisbane?
No. The ranges in this article are national figures from What's The Damage, an independent cost guide, dated October 2026. They are not Brisbane prices and they are not Brigs Plumbing prices. The real cost for a Brisbane home depends on the job, and a quote is the way to know it.
Does gutter replacement include downpipes?
It depends on the job. The published whole-house range for a single-storey home includes downpipes, while gutters and downpipes are also listed as separate per-metre items. Brigs Plumbing replaces both gutters and downpipes, so say which you need when you ask for a quote.
Does a two-storey house cost more for gutter replacement?
The number of storeys and roof access are among the things that change a gutter price. The published whole-house range from What's The Damage covers a single-storey house only, so it does not tell you what a two-storey job costs. A quote is the way to know.
