What breaks
Bollard damage can include:
- A leaning post
- A cracked pipe
- A loose footing
- A bent pipe
How each repair is done
A damaged bollard can be repaired in several ways. The post can be cut, straightened and welded back in place, a damaged section of pipe can be cut out and welded, or the post can be reset in new concrete.
When a bollard needs a new post
Some damage can be repaired, and some requires a new post. The extent and the location of the damage, and the condition of the footing, decide which one applies.
What it costs
The price depends on the number of posts and on whether the footing has to be removed.
| The work | Installed |
|---|---|
| Bollard repair, one post | $800 to $1,000 |
| One new bollard on its own | $950 to $1,000 |
What to send us
To price a repair, we need:
- A photo of the post from the side, so the lean is visible, and a close photo of the base where it meets the ground. The base shows if the post can be welded or needs replacing.
- What the post sits in: dirt, asphalt, or a concrete slab.
- How many posts are damaged.
Most bollard repairs can be priced from photos.
Frequently asked questions
Does the concrete footing have to come out?
Not always. The footing is removed when it can no longer hold the post, or when a new post goes in the same location.

Steel pipe, usually Schedule 40, 4 to 6 inches across. A bollard can be permanent or removable, filled with concrete or left hollow, and painted or galvanized.
