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 ceiling plaster and leak patch (plus dance pole removal)

$250

Woden Valley ACT 2606, Australia

25th Sep 2026

Hi, I was installing a dancing pole at home and damaged my ceiling plaster. I need an experienced handyman or plasterer to help with the pole removal and two ceiling repairs. 1. Pole removal: I installed a SereneLife tension dance pole and since noticing the plaster damage, am unable to remove the pole by myself. I might need some help loosening the pole if it’s needed for repair work to start. 2. Repair tension damage & Reinforce ceiling: The pressure from the pole has caused a minor plaster failure on the ceiling sheet. There is a ~2-inch hairline fracture line running perpendicular to the timber joist, a blown tape bubble right next to it, and a popped drywall screw. You will likely need to drive 2x new 60mm drywall screws into the joist to secure the plasterboard sheet, cut out the loose bubble/tape, V-groove the crack, mesh/paper tape it, flush it with joint compound, sand it smooth, and paint it to match (I can provide ceiling white paint). 3. Repair an Old Water Leak Area (Separate Location, Same Room): In a different part of the same ceiling, there is a ~1m long area and a few minor spots around it (including around a light fixture) with historical water damage (the roof leak has been fixed a year ago and it is 100% dry and had a sparky inspect its safety to repair). You will need to scrape back the flaking/peeling paint finish, apply a stain blocking primer sealer, and patch/skim coat any deep divots, sand, and paint to match. Requirements: 1. Must bring your own tools, ladders, drywall screws, joint compound/tape, and stain-blocking primer. Experience in plastering/gyprock patching is essential. Must be careful not to damage the dance pole. Location: Phillip ACT

Plaster repair: Small chip on wall corner

$120

Taylor ACT, Australia

25th Apr 2026

I am looking for someone to help repair a small plaster chip on a wall corner, which is roughly the size of a 20-cent piece. As the metal corner bead is slightly exposed, the repair will require appropriate filling and sanding to ensure a smooth, durable finish that sits flush with the wall. Please let me know your availability to take this on, and clarify if you will be bringing your own materials and tools or if there is anything specific you need me to provide. I would also appreciate it if you could confirm your experience with patching and whether you are able to assist with matching the paint finish to the existing wall. Colour matching does not need to be perfect.

Outstanding workmanship and awesome communication. Would work with again.
