Repair drywall in two ceiling locations

$300

We engaged Neil to repair a hole in a plasterboard wall in our apartment, plus a couple of other small nicks on other walls. The hole is now gone, and the walls are looking good again. Neil took a lot care to match the paint colour. Even offered to paint the entire section of wall if the patch paint was visible. Turns out that wasn't necessary. Overall we are very happy with the result

What do drywall repair services include?

Drywall repair services include everything you need to fix damages to your wall and ceiling. Damages include dents, cracks or holes on your drywall. Experts found on our platform can perform the task using industry best practices and adhere to regular safety standards. Drywall repair services include but are not limited to:

Site assessment

Proper assessment and inspection are essential before undertaking any repair job. Whether you need a repair on cracked drywalls or patching up your drywall ceiling, Taskers can assess the damage and what caused it so that they can take this into account during the drywall repair process.  Taskers may even take measurements if needed to determine how much material they need to complete the job. If you’re not sure about the materials you need, feel free to consult your Tasker. Ask if they can source the materials for you and discuss other important points in detail before accepting an offer.

Site preparation

Once you have ironed out the details with your Tasker and completed the site assessment, next on the agenda is site preparation. Taskers may use protective material to cover the worksite and anything nearby to reduce the mess. This makes things easier for the clean-up crew especially from any debris from drywall crack repairs. For any repairs that are caused by leaking water pipes, heating or electrical systems and the like, consider hiring a general contractor to resolve the problem and prevent any further damage in the future.

Wall and ceiling repairs

Once the work site is ready, Taskers can begin the process of patching up, filling and smoothing out the holes and cracks on your drywall. Since drywall is prone to damage, sometimes not even your ceiling is safe. Patching up any damage to your drywall ceiling should pose no difficulty for your Tasker. And after getting drywall ceiling repair near you, consider hiring someone to clean your ceiling for a healthier, aesthetically pleasing space.

Depending on the damage and initial assessment, Taskers may even repair or replace sections of drywall and finish them to match your existing walls. If you need some additional wall painting done, don’t hesitate to post another task and find a specialist on our platform.

Overall, though drywall is prone to damage, it is still an affordable, sturdy material that is ideal for building homes. You can rely on experts on Airtasker for all your drywall repair needs.

Patch drywall damage to walls

$250

Carlton VIC 3053, Australia

9th Mar 2025

Hi there! I've messed up and stuck on some sticky hooks that are not coming off easily. I've tried to remove one and it's peeling off the paint from the ceiling. I've got 4 of these hung up from the ceiling and I need help getting the hooks off and patching the drywall damage. I've got lots of the supplies needed - skim coat polyfilla, 240-grit sandpaper, primer and sample pots of the right colour paint. I don't have adhesive remover but I do have some isopropyl alcohol. You'd need a ladder as the hooks and damage are all on the ceiling. I've attached photos so you can see the size and how bad the damage will be. Happy to pay an hourly rate or discuss. Thank you!!

Sanka is amazing!! So so helpful and efficient, did a great job, went out of his way to help us and is just such a lovely guy. Highly reccommend.
