Fix damaged plaster and matching paint

Kyriakos is one of the best professionals I’ve worked with. He’s efficient, hard working and a great problem solver. He was able to find a solution to complex work where others failed. I recommend him and will work with him again without hesitation. On top of his high quality work, he’s nice and friendly. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would.

What do plasterer services include?

For top-quality plastering, it is best to hire experts. Airtasker can match you with tradespeople with the right skill set and proven portfolio to improve your walls or ceilings’ aesthetic appeal, longevity and durability. Plastering is crucial for repairing surfaces, priming your home for remodelling or incorporating decorative features to enhance your living space. 

Here are other plastering services you can get via Airtasker:

Plasterer service - ceiling plastering

Applying plaster to the ceiling is a task that requires a high level of skill and precision due to the overhead work. Plasterers begin by cleaning the ceiling surface and preparing the surrounding areas. While some plasterers near you can move or cover furniture, you may need a separate service to clear the space. Once the area is ready, a base coat of plaster is applied, followed by a finishing coat after the base has set. Experts take special care to ensure smooth and even coverage without sagging or dripping. 

Plasterer service - wall plastering

If you need a smooth interior wall surface for wallpapering or repainting, opt for wall plastering. The process is similar to ceiling plastering, though plasterers have easier access and more room to move due to the vertical surface. Plasterers remove dust or debris from the wall and cover the rest of the area, then apply two coats of plaster for complete and even coverage. Wall plastering can also involve drywall plastering or applying plasterboard for added protection against noise and humidity.

Plasterer service - plaster repair

To avoid recurring damages to the plaster, experts often recommend hiring other specialists to work on any underlying issues near or supporting the plaster before they start the actual plaster repair job. Once problems like leaks or damaged pipes are addressed, plasterers inspect the site to assess the extent of the damage. They then prepare the appropriate amount and type of plaster needed for the repairs, making sure it matches the existing plaster in terms of texture and appearance. After completing the repairs, it's advisable to hire a painter to apply a fresh coat of paint to restore the plaster to its former glory. 

Plasterer service - plaster coving

To add elegance to a room or hide noticeable imperfections, consider plaster coving. For this service, decorative moulding is installed on the junction where walls meet ceilings. While different types of plastics are now used for coving, plaster remains the best choice due to its adaptability even in awkward angles and areas. Plasterers measure and cut the coving to fit and then install and secure it with adhesives. 

Plasterer service - lime plaster

For an environmentally friendly choice, you can opt to use lime plaster. A traditional technique that uses plaster with lime, lime plastering creates a breathable wall finish and a durable surface that can last for centuries. Lime plaster is also known for its natural antiseptic properties and ability to regulate humidity, making it ideal for spaces prone to dampness and for preserving the integrity of older structures.

Plasterer service - polished plaster

For a luxurious and contemporary finish, consider polished plaster. This technique creates a smooth, highly reflective surface with a unique, marble-like appearance.  Polished plaster, also known as Venetian plaster, is achieved through multiple layers of plaster applied and burnished to a high sheen. 

It's ideal for feature walls and creating a statement in any space.  Because of the specialised skills required, it's essential to hire experienced plasterers specialising in polished plaster application.

Plastering for the crack and patch and paint

$300

Kew VIC 3101, Australia

26th May 2026

Looking for an experienced and detail-oriented plasterer/painter to properly fix several patch repairs throughout a residential property. A previous tasker did this work but the finish is unacceptable — the patches were not sanded flat and the paint was not blended, so the repaired areas are clearly visible (uneven texture, trowel marks, mismatched sheen). Scope of work — all-inclusive: Inspect all affected areas (walls near door frames, wall corners, and ceiling line — multiple spots, photos attached) Where needed, scrape back / cut out the poorly done filler Re-apply plaster/filler properly and build up to a flush, even surface Sand all patched areas smooth so there are no ridges, trowel marks or bumps Spot-prime where required Repaint the patched areas and feather/blend the paint into the surrounding wall so the repair is invisible (no visible patch outline, no sheen difference) Requirements: Tasker to supply all materials, tools and paint Must colour-match the existing wall paint (low-sheen / matt white — please confirm or check on site) Quality finish is essential — the whole point of this job is that the repairs must NOT be visible once done Please only quote if you can do a proper professional finish; include examples of similar work or relevant reviews Budget: $300 (all-inclusive — materials + labour). If you genuinely cannot do a quality job within this budget, please let me know your realistic quote rather than under-quoting and rushing the work. Before payment: I will inspect the finished work in good lighting. Payment released once all patches are confirmed smooth and properly blended. Photos attached showing the current poor finish.
