Suggested reads about Plaster Repair

What do plaster repair services include?

Plaster repair services include all the activities necessary to fix damaged plaster on your walls or ceilings. This service can consist of fixing all sorts of damage like holes, gouges, pits or hairline cracks in plaster. Your plaster repair Tasker can inspect the site, assess the damage, prepare the necessary tools and materials, fix the damage, and apply the appropriate finish. 

Site assessment

Your plaster repair Tasker does a thorough inspection of the walls and ceilings that need repairs. They can assess the extent and nature of the damage and see if it’s as simple as plaster crack repair or is a more complex job like blown plaster repair or lath and plaster repair. Your Tasker can take the appropriate measurements of the damage, such as the depth and size of cracks, to determine how much material they need and what tools to prepare.  

If during the inspection, your Tasker discovers water damage to your plaster, you may want to hire someone to check and fix the pipes before they start. 

Site & materials preparation

Your Tasker may cover your floor with a plastic dust sheet or other protective material. Some Taskers may move furniture out of the way. They may also cover any light switches or electrical sockets that are close to the damaged plaster. Should you want new wirings installed, make sure to hire someone to do this first before the plaster repairs.  

If necessary, your Tasker may prime the damaged areas - this can include scraping the edges of cracks, then dusting off raised and excess material, then brushing the area with carpenter’s glue to give better surface adhesion for the filler and new plaster. Your Tasker can do this and other appropriate prep work on the damage.

Performing repairs

Once the site is prepared, and the materials are ready, your Tasker can do the repairs. They can use proven techniques and the right tools and materials. This can include plaster repair with a skim application, plaster repair with Polycell, plaster repair with Polyfilla, gypsum plaster repair and any other appropriate repair methods.  

Some Taskers can remove and replace broken laths, although you may have to hire a separate service if the damage to the lath is extensive. Following best practices, your Tasker can apply as much filler and new plaster as needed to fill the cracks, gouges or holes in the wall or ceiling plaster. Note that they can allow each layer of filler or plaster to dry in-between applications.

Finishing touches

Your Tasker can smoothen the new plaster once all the layers have dried. They can use sandpaper of the appropriate coarseness or fineness to make the new plaster level with the rest of the wall or ceiling. If necessary, your Tasker can apply finishing oils or primer for fresh paint.  

Speaking of which, why not have your walls or ceilings painted in a new or different colour?

Repair multiple plaster cracks throughout apartment

$500

Kingsville VIC 3012, Australia

1st Oct 2026

Repair multiple plaster cracks throughout apartment Looking for an experienced plasterer to repair a number of cracks throughout my apartment in Kingsville. There are various cracks/separations around cornices, wall/ceiling joins, corners and above/around windows and doorways. Some are minor, while several are larger (photos attached). Looking for someone to properly prepare and repair the cracks — including taping/mesh where required — fill and sand to a smooth, paint-ready finish. I don’t just want the cracks covered with filler if they require a more substantial repair. Please supply materials and advise if you think any cracks require further investigation before repair. Painting can be quoted separately / not required at this stage. There are cracks in all 3 rooms in the apartment, so please quote for the overall job rather than individual cracks. More photos can be provided. Happy to receive quote after a visual inspection too.

Supply & replace internal bedroom door leaf + patch plaster wall hole

$250

Footscray VIC 3011, Australia

24th Sep 2026

Hi there, I need an experienced handyman to handle a full door replacement and a small plaster wall patch at my apartment in Footscray (Victoria Square complex).I want a completely all-inclusive service where you supply all the materials, tools, and paint so it is completely hassle-free for me. Scope of work involves: Supply New Door Leaf: Supply a standard pre-primed flush hollow-core internal door leaf (35mm thick). The exact dimensions of my current door are , e.g., 2040mm x 820mm. Install & Fit Door: Remove the damaged door. Transfer my existing modern brushed-chrome square lever handles and privacy latch over to the new door. Install hinges, plane/trim the door if needed to ensure a perfect fit, and hang it cleanly. Plaster Wall Patch: Clean up and patch a small rectangular punch hole in the plasterboard wall behind the door. You will need to use a structural mesh patch or timber backing offcut so it is completely solid, then compound, sand smooth, and finish flush. Paint Matching & Painting: Take a small flake of the damaged plaster to color-match the apartment's exact paint tone. Apply paint to the new door leaf and the wall patch so the repairs blend seamlessly and look brand new. Disposal: Take the old damaged door panel away with you. Please provide a fixed-price quote that completely covers your labor, the new door leaf, plaster/paint supplies, and disposal fees. Looking to get this sorted as soon as possible. I am attaching here the first 3 images related to the door, which would be replaced and then the last 4th image of the wall behind the door. Thank you!
