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?

Plaster Repair Needed – Fix & Square Up Internal Corner

$250

Blind Bight VIC, Australia

2nd Mar 2026

Plasterer Needed – Fix & Square Up Internal Corner (Must Be Perfectly Square) I need a plasterer to set up and sheet this internal corner properly and plaster/finish it ready for paint. I’ve already ripped the old plaster off because the corner wasn’t square and it was noticeable against the flooring – it was doing my head in. I want this done properly so the corner is perfectly square and straight, and doesn’t show up visually against the floor line. Important: • The corner must be properly squared and plumb. • You’ll likely need to adjust/pack the frame slightly to get it right – please be upfront and prepared for that. • Architraves can be removed if needed to do the job properly. • I have plaster sheets here you can use. This is not just a quick patch job – I want it set up correctly so it looks sharp and clean. There are also a few other small plastering jobs you can look at while you’re here if interested. Located in Blind Bight Please only respond if you’re confident you can get the corner dead square and finish it properly.

Wei did an excellent job with the plastering. Great communication, very professional, and the workmanship was exceptional. He was also extremely tidy and left everything spotless after finishing. Highly recommend Wei and would happily use him again.
