About concrete repair contractors in Malta
Most concrete damage in Maltese homes is spalling. Water and salty air reach the steel bars (rebar) inside a slab, beam or balcony. The steel rusts, swells and pushes the concrete off. You see cracks along a line, brown stains, then pieces falling and bare, rusty bars. Old roofs, bathroom ceilings and seafront balconies are common places.
A proper repair cuts back the loose concrete until the steel is clean, treats or replaces the steel, and builds the section back up with a repair mortar. Plaster on top of rusty steel hides the problem for a short time only. If a lot of steel is exposed, or a beam or balcony is affected, ask a perit to look at it before anyone quotes.
The price depends on how big the damaged area is, how deep the rust goes, how easy it is to reach (a ceiling inside or a façade that needs scaffolding), and whether the cause, usually water, gets fixed too. Ask for the cause and the repair in the same written quote.

Good to know in Malta
- Under the Condominium Act, unless the deeds say otherwise, the foundations, external walls and roofs of a block are common parts. The cost of their maintenance and repairs is shared between the owners in proportion to the value of each unit. Source
- Where a ceiling is a common part between two flats, the same Act splits its repair costs half and half between the owner below and the owner above. The owner below pays for painting and decorating the ceiling. Source

Questions
How much does concrete repair cost in Malta?
It depends on the size of the damaged area, how far the rust has spread, access (inside, or a façade that needs scaffolding) and whether the leak that caused it is fixed in the same job. Small ceiling patches cost far less than a balcony or a beam. Ask for a site visit and a written quote that names the cause, the repair method and the guarantee.
Who can fix rusty rebar in Malta?
Concrete repair contractors and some construction firms do this work. A handyman may patch a small area, but ask how they treat the steel first. For a beam, a balcony or a large area of bare steel, ask a perit to inspect it and say how it should be repaired. Then get quotes for that method.
Who pays to fix a spalling ceiling between two flats?
Under the Condominium Act, where the ceiling is a common part between two flats, the repair cost is split half and half between the owner below and the owner above. The owner below pays to paint and decorate it. Your deeds or a written agreement can change this, so check them first.
Is a spalling ceiling dangerous?
Falling pieces of concrete can hurt someone, and rust weakens the steel over time. Keep people away from the area, do not pull at loose pieces, and get it checked soon. If a beam or a large part of a slab is affected, ask a perit to look at it before you use the room again.
