What can you expect from a cornice repair expert?
Cornice repair services cover a range of issues, ensuring your decorative mouldings are restored to their original beauty. Here’s what you can expect:
Assessment & Inspection
A professional will examine the condition of your cornices, identifying cracks, gaps, or missing sections. This helps determine whether a repair or full replacement is needed. At this point, they will also determine if additional raw materials are needed. If the damage extends to the ceiling, they will assess whether ceiling repairs are required to ensure a solid foundation for the cornice restoration.
Cleaning & Preparation
Dirt, dust, and loose debris are removed to create a clean surface for repair. If necessary, the surrounding area is prepped to prevent damage to ceilings and walls. Protective coverings may be used to shield nearby surfaces, ensuring a tidy workspace.
Plastering & Patching
Small cracks and chips are repaired using plaster or specialised fillers to restore the cornice’s structure. For larger gaps, sections may be re-cast to match the original design, ensuring a seamless finish. Skilled plastering techniques help maintain the intricate details of ornate mouldings.
Ceiling Repairs & Reinforcement
If the damage extends to the ceiling, necessary repairs will be made to provide a solid foundation. Loose or sagging cornices are re-secured using adhesives, screws, or brackets to prevent future movement and ensure longevity. Reinforcement may include reapplying plaster or reinforcing joints to prevent further structural issues.
Matching & Moulding Replication
If a part of the cornice is missing or severely damaged, professionals create custom moulds to match the original design perfectly. This process ensures the repaired section blends seamlessly with the existing architecture, preserving the overall aesthetic.
Sanding, Painting & Finishing
Once repairs are complete, the area is smoothed and blended into the existing cornice. It’s then primed and painted to match the rest of the room, ensuring a polished look. Professional painters can ensure that the finish complements the surrounding decor and ceiling.
Final Inspection
Before wrapping up, the Tasker will ensure the repair is solid, aligned, and aesthetically consistent with the surrounding decor. They will also check for any imperfections and apply final touch-ups if necessary.

Hi we are doing some preliminary budgeting for our renovation and would like to see how much it costs to convert all the cornices in our 80s home into square set finishes. Quote needs to include all plastering until it's ready to paint. I am guessing it will be around 120 linear meters of cornices that needs to be removed and square set. We are located in Doncaster East. Thanks.

Plaster cornices in several rooms breaking
$500
Burwood East, Victoria, 3151 Australia
21st May 2024
Photos now added. Cornices cracking: dining room and kitchen. In bedroom about to break off. A competitive offer has come in. I'm a Senior, currently at home after major surgery. If anyone is willing to help me out, change their offer, to match this price, I would appreciate it. The damage was caused by housing construction across the road, but the builder refuses to take responsibility. So, it's coming out of my pocket. I make good hot coffee, or tea :-)
Mostapha turned up on time, was friendly and worked his way steadily through each room, carefully repairing the cracked cornices of my 70 year home. His price was fair and competitive. He is a multi skilled worker with bathroom renovations and plumbing in his home maintenance experience.
