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.

Mount a small bamboo shelf (drywall + electrical caution)

$50

Waterloo NSW 2017, Australia

10th Feb 2026

I need a skilled handyman to mount a bamboo shelf/cabinet with a mirror door onto a drywall (plasterboard) surface. The Specifics: The Item: Bamboo mirror cabinet (Weight: 2-3kg). The Wall: Standard drywall, but no studs are available in the desired mounting area. The Challenge: There are live electrical cables running within the wall behind the mounting spot. Requirements for the Tasker: Detection: You must bring a reliable stud/voltage finder to precisely map the wiring before drilling. Hardware: Since there are no studs, you will need to provide 2x high-quality hollow-wall anchors (e.g., GripIts, heavy-duty toggle bolts, or Cobra WallDrillers) capable of supporting the weight of the cabinet. Experience: Please only bid if you have experience mounting heavy items in "active" walls and are confident in cable avoidance.

Painter / Plasterer Needed – End of Lease Wall Repairs & Touch-Ups

$480

St Peters NSW, Australia

19th Jan 2026

We’re moving out of a rental after 8 years and are looking for an experienced painter and wall patcher / plasterer to help get the walls back to a good, presentable condition. There are various marks, small holes, dents, and scuffs across the house from general wear and tear, hanging items, and a dog (some scratching on doors). This is very much an end-of-lease tidy-up, not a full repaint. The job is for 8 hours total, focusing on getting as much done as possible in that time rather than aiming for perfection. Property details: • 3-bedroom house • House will be completely empty • Walls + some doors need attention What’s included / not included: • ✅ Paint will be supplied (matched and ready) • ✅ Drop sheets provided • ❌ You’ll need to bring your own tools (brushes, rollers, buckets, sanding tools, etc.) • I will patch what I can the day before so it has time to dry Timing: • Monday 2nd February • Ideally 9:00am – 5:00pm (or as close as possible) Important notes: • This job is based on time, not a fixed outcome • We understand that repairs and painting don’t always go perfectly from A → B • Photos of example damage will be attached to give a clear idea of the work involved Looking for someone reliable, efficient, and experienced with end-of-lease repairs.

Soooo good, highly recommend

Plaster damaged wall surface, make good skirting and paint wall gaps

$550

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

23rd Nov 2025

I had two built-in in robes removed (eg one in each bedroom). The installer used liquid nails on some elements which took off the wall render where it was affixed. To install at parts of the robe they have also trimmed out the skirting board to make elements fit flush to the internal wall. It would be great to get a quote from you to 1) make good the rendering 2) paint the walls from behind the cupboards to match the new wall paint (I'm happy to supply this) 3) remove the skirting behind these areas where new robes will be coming in) 4) plaster or make good where the skirting is removed to create an even wall surface / no gaps between the walls/ flooring 5) infill a small portion of the skirting on the short wall where the new robe is going in. The removed robe was deeper and the skirting has been cut out at the front so will end prematurely. Would be great to fill this in 6) treat the skirting so it looks like a uniform finish I can send photos etc if the area. I'm not sure where you're located but I'm in Newtown, happy to do a site visit for a quote. My only constraint is I have the new robes arriving on Friday so I would really like to get this done in the next couple of weeks as my house is quite small so I keen to get the robes in and use the storage!!

Sui is great to work with, efficient and helpful. Good quality job and very pleasant person as well :)
