Our Plaster Repair Services

Whenever your plastered walls require some attention, our team is reliable and ready to help. Our repair services are comprehensive, thanks to many years of training and experience- helping owners keep their homes in great shape.

 

Here is a brief introduction to some of the plaster repair services we provide.

 


Plaster Patch Jobs

 

You wouldn’t be the first or last person to accidentally put a hole in your drywall- it happens sometimes, and there is a simple fix. A plaster patch is a money-saving godsend in situations where plaster filler won’t work (if the wall is hollow), as it means you don’t have to replace the entire sheet of drywall. 

 

Fixing plasterboard wall using a patch is technically straightforward- but it requires acute attention to detail and professional accuracy to make it look seamless with the original wall. While you can watch a video on how to patch plaster walls, it is very difficult to repair plastering this way without it being noticeable.

 

Our team uses premium quality plaster glue and other construction adhesives for maximum bonding- and can get the job done quickly and effectively, with perfect results every time.

 


Water Damage Plaster Repair

 

After suffering water damage, plaster almost always shows visible signs that nobody wants in their home. Although many cases of penetrative water damage leave no choice but to remove the drywall completely, repairing plaster walls is sometimes possible.

 

Water-damaged plaster wall repair techniques vary depending on how many layers are affected. Sometimes, it is a case of removing the top layer, and re-sealing it with specialist primer joint compound. Other times, we may have to cut out a larger area (particularly if there are signs of mold). 

 

We always ensure that we find the root of the cause and remove every piece of damaged drywall to avoid the problem returning or getting worse.

 


Re-Finishing a Damaged Wall

 

Often, a repaired damaged wall does not look quite as good as it did before- but with us on the case, you will never know. We use our unrivaled expertise in high-level finishing to restore the flawless appearance of your plaster- priming, mudding, and sanding plaster walls until the patch, filler, or replacement is unnoticeable.

 


Plaster Ceiling Repair

 

We are also experts in plaster ceiling repair. Working to repair plaster ceiling is similar to techniques used on plaster for walls- but there are other safety and structural factors to consider. You can rest assured that our contractors take every necessary precaution to ensure the best outcome when repairing your plaster ceiling.

Plaster Repair FAQs

Our Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Causes Plaster To Crack?

    There are a number of things that cause plaster to crack. Non-structural cracks occur when there are many fine cracks in the plaster. This is usually caused by using sand that contains excessive dust or over-troweling a mix with a high cement content. 


    Map cracking is another type of crack you might see in your plaster and is caused when the plaster dries too quickly or when you use a rich plaster mix. This is very similar to non-structural cracking but is usually much deeper. 


    Another cause of cracked plaster is a loss of moisture once the plaster has hardened. This is referred to as a drying-shrinkage crack. Other common causes include applying plaster in layers that are too thick, thermal movement of the roof, and differential movement in structural foundations.

  • Which Is Stronger: Spackle or Joint Compound? 

    In a sense, spackle is much weaker and is designed primarily for small holes and dings. Alternatively, drywall mud (compound) is stronger and used for big repairs. 

     

    Spackle doesn’t shrink, so it’s ideal for nail holes, small holes, and large dents that haven’t gone through the wall. Typically, professionals will apply it and scrape it off to be flush with the wall. Once dry, they will sand it down and paint it. 

     

    Drywall mud, on the other hand, will shrink somewhat. Therefore, it takes a few more passes to fill in a hole. Still, it’s easier to feather, shape, and sand. Plus, it’s stronger and will last longer, meaning you don’t have to make repairs as often. 

  • What Do Old Houses Have Instead of Drywall? 

    Modern homes often have drywall walls for the inside surface. However, high-end and older houses use plaster instead. Overall, plaster is more durable and much harder, which can be beneficial. Still, this means it’s more expensive to install. 

     

    Usually, old houses use a three-coat system for plaster. It’s applied over the metal or wood lathe. However, newer homes that feature plaster will have a single coat, which is spread over a special drywall type called blueboard. 

     

    Both drywall and plaster can crack or get holes in them easily. However, it’s often easy to fix, especially when you hire a professional. In most cases, it’s easier to repair drywall than plaster. 

  • What Cleans Textured Walls?

    Everyone knows that dust settles everywhere, even on your vertical walls. If they’re textured, they will accumulate more dust than traditional painted drywall, so it’s wise to have a good cleaning routine to keep your space looking its best. 

     

    Most experts recommend using a vacuum with a bristle brush attachment on textured walls. This will agitate the surface gently while collecting the dust. You should always work from the top down, paying close attention to the corners and top because spider webs often gather there. 

     

    Typically, you will work horizontally with your vacuum’s bristle brush. This will capture dust along the wall before you move to the next section.
