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.

Mesh and skim coat cracked bathroom plaster walls

$500

Toorak VIC, Australia

22nd Jan 2026

Hi! I’m looking for a plasterer to mesh and skim coat the upper walls of my bathroom (60s double-brick apartment). The bathroom is approximately 2x2.5 m. The walls are original solid plaster (I think) and most of the old paint has been removed. There are heaps of hairline and visible cracks across the walls. Tiles stop at mid-wall height, so work is required above the tiles only. Scope of work (I think!) includes preparing the existing plaster, applying fibreglass reinforcing mesh over the wall surfaces, and applying a full skim coat to achieve a nice even finish. Walls should be sanded and left ready for priming and painting. Painting is not required, I will do that myself! Please note I live on the third floor, with no lift!

Dan was excellent! Clear communication, super friendly, arrived on time, polite. Most importantly, he did a great job re-plastering my bathroom. Looks significantly better. Would definitely have him back to do more work!

Bedroom dimensions: 4.25 Metres long x 3.6 Metres wide x 3.3 metres high. Includes disposal of all lath and plaster and cornices, and your quote should include necessary tip fees.

No need to remove nails etc. I will do that step. I will supply rubbish bagging materials (if necessary). I will arrange for electrical disconnections. You will supply labour, rubbish removal equipment and disposal equipment (trailer, skip whatever), and any equipment you require to remove lath and plaster from walls. Job complete is when all lath and plaster etc is removed from walls and all rubbish has exited the site. Please itemise the quote separating labour expectations and rubbish removal costs / any other costs you plan for. I have not provided a budget - can you please tell me in quote. I have certification of testing confirming no asbestos is present in house. Available on request.
