Suggested reads about Plasterer

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.

Repair plaster attached to wall-mounted curtain rail bracket

$150

Doncaster East VIC 3109, Australia

15th Sep 2026

One end of a wall-mounted double curtain rail (blockout + sheer) has pulled out of the plasterboard above a window. The top fixing has ripped out of the wall and damaged the plasterboard. I want the bracket repaired securely in the same position if possible and the wall patched around the fixing. Please bring suitable fixings for heavy curtains. If there is timber behind the wall above the window, I’d prefer the bracket fixed into that rather than just using new plasterboard anchors. Budget: $150 (happy to discuss if inspection shows extra work is genuinely needed).

PLASTER & PAINT

$900

Mont Albert North VIC 3129, Australia

21st Jul 2026

Need someone to tape, set, sand and paint a new internal stud wall, cornice, skirting and door, plus a few house patch repairs — some nail holes, a couple of hairline cracks — same paint, so easy to knock out while you're here. The wall: •Approx. 3.65m wide × 2.45m high, both sides, plus a door and frame •Prime it, then 2 topcoats — I'll supply the paint and primer (4L each) •Also need the cornice, skirting, and door trim painted to match The extras while you're here: •One patch repair, about 30x50cm — plaster's been knocked back to bare board, might need scrim tape under it, not just a quick fill •A few nail holes, hairline cracks, and small marks around the house — quick fill and paint. •For any patched wall — please repaint the full wall panel (corner to corner or feature line to feature line), not just the patch itself. Spot-dotting over old paint will show as an obvious mismatch. *Refer to photos of the affected walls provided* What I supply: paint and primer What you bring: everything else — compound, tape, filler, brushes, airbrush or rollers, drop sheets, etc. Price and Time: Please give me your best quote, as the stated offer is based on my limited knowledge of market price. Also how soon can you get this done: e.g I can start by (X) and finish by (X).
