Plastering FAQ
Everything you need to know about our plastering service in Melbourne. Can't find your answer? Call us directly.
Do you paint after plastering?
We apply a primer coat to all repairs so they're paint-ready. For full painting, we recommend our painting services team who can colour-match and finish the job perfectly. We can bundle both services for convenience.
How long does plaster take to dry before painting?
Standard repairs need 24 hours to cure before painting. Larger patches or skim coats may need 48 hours. We'll advise on exact timing based on the repair and weather conditions.
Can you repair water-damaged plaster?
Yes, but the water source must be fixed first. We can assess the damage, remove affected plaster, treat for mould if needed, and restore the wall. We'll also check for structural issues behind the plaster.
Do you repair ornamental cornices and ceiling roses?
Yes, we can repair and replace damaged cornices, ceiling roses, and decorative mouldings. For heritage properties, we can source matching profiles to maintain the original character.
Will the repair be visible after painting?
When done correctly, no. Our technique involves proper compound application, curing, and sanding to ensure a seamless finish that disappears completely under paint. We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee.
How much does it cost to repair a large hole in drywall?
A single large hole (fist-sized to 30cm) typically costs $120-$180 including materials. Multiple holes in the same room are more cost-effective. We provide exact quotes after seeing the damage.
