Wall and ceiling repairs price
The price follows the size of the repair and what is behind it. A hairline crack and a ceiling section that has come down are very different jobs.
Included
- Cutting back loose or cracked plaster to a sound edge
- Filling and patching to the depth needed
- Skim coat blended into the existing surface
- Corners and edges reformed where they were damaged
Not included as standard
- Painting and decorating afterwards
- Fixing the cause of a leak or structural movement
- Replastering a whole room, which is priced as skimming
- The area to be repaired, the depth of plaster needed and the access to the wall or ceiling all change the price.
- Several small repairs in one room are priced together, so list every patch in the chat.
When to book wall and ceiling repairs
Repairs suit surfaces that are sound apart from a damaged area, so the rest of the wall or ceiling can stay as it is.
- Cracks and holesSettlement cracks, old fixings and holes left by removed fittings are cut out, filled and skimmed so the patch disappears under paint.
- Blown or loose plasterPlaster that sounds hollow or lifts off the wall is taken back to a firm edge, then replaced and finished level with the surrounding surface.
- After other tradesWalls and ceilings opened up for wiring, pipework or building work are made good so the room looks as though nothing was touched.
What happens on the day
A repair is done in stages, because each coat needs time to firm up before the next goes on.
- Prepare the damaged areaLoose material is cut away, the edges are squared off and the surface is primed so new plaster grips.
- Build up and skimThe patch is filled in coats until it sits level, then a finishing skim is trowelled across it and feathered into the old wall.
- Leave it to dryThe repair is left to firm up and dry out, after which it can be sealed with a mist coat and painted.

WhatsAppCan a cracked ceiling be repaired without replastering it?
A crack can be cut out, filled and skimmed locally. If the plaster around it is loose, a larger section is taken back so the repair holds.
Will the repair show through paint?
A repair is skimmed and feathered into the wall so it is flat. Sealing it with a mist coat before painting stops it drying a different colour from the old plaster.
Do you repair water damaged plaster?
Yes, once the leak is fixed and the wall has dried. The damaged plaster is removed and replaced, then skimmed to match.
How soon can I paint after a repair?
When the new plaster has dried to an even colour. Fresh plaster is sealed with a thinned mist coat before the first full coat of paint.
