Letterbox Installation Melbourne — From $120
A bashed-in, faded, leaning letterbox is the first thing every visitor sees. Replacing it is one of the cheapest curb-appeal wins you can make — and one of the easiest things to skip for years.
We install, replace and repair letterboxes across west Melbourne. Request a callback below.
What's Included
- Removal of the old letterbox (and base, if it's broken)
- Supply OR install-only — your choice
- Concrete footing if needed (free-standing units)
- Wall mount or fence mount for clad styles
- Number plate fitted
- Mortar tidy and clean-up
If you've ordered something from Mitre 10, Bunnings, or a specialist letterbox retailer (e.g. Sandleford, Milkcan, Mailmaster), we'll install it. If you want us to source one too, we'll bring options to the measure visit.
Pricing
| Job | From | Typical |
|---|---|---|
| Replace existing free-standing (you supplied) | $120 | $120–$200 |
| Replace existing wall-mount | $100 | $100–$160 |
| New free-standing with concrete footing | $250 | $250–$450 |
| Render/brick column rebuild | $450 | $450–$900 |
| Repair only (loose plate, broken flap, faded numbers) | $80 | $80–$140 |
For full render columns we typically need two visits — pour and cure, then render and finish.

Why Locals Choose Us
- We straighten what's leaning. Most old letterboxes are 5° off vertical from years of mail-truck bumps. A simple re-set into proper footing is sometimes all that's needed.
- Local-style matching. A render-column box suits Werribee newer estates. A timber post suits Williamstown weatherboards. We'll suggest what fits your street.
- Numbers that last. Stick-on numbers fade in 2 years. We fit screw-on metal or routed acrylic that holds up.
- Fast callback. Form-based bookings, fast turnaround.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a letterbox replacement take?
A like-for-like swap is 60–90 minutes. A new free-standing with footing is 2 hours plus drying time. A full render column rebuild needs 2 visits.
Do I need to be home?
Not necessarily — if access to the front of the house is open, we can do it while you're at work. You'd need to leave the new letterbox somewhere visible.
Will Australia Post still deliver during the swap?
Yes — we time the job around the typical delivery window for the street, or we leave a temporary box for the day. No missed mail.
Can you do a body-corp street where they're all the same?
Yes — we do bulk pricing for body-corp / development streets where all letterboxes need standardising. Submit the form with the number of units.
What about a parcel-locker letterbox?
Yes — units with parcel compartments (Sandleford Easy Locking, Milkcan Sentry) take 2 hours and run $300–$500 supplied + installed.
