We take pride in being the team for plaster patching and smoothing that Geelong locals trust. We don’t believe in “quick fixes” that look bad under a light. We take the time to feather out our edges and use premium compounds that won’t shrink or sag.
The Ultimate Refresh: Skim Coat Walls
If your walls are generally tired, wavy, or have a "patchy" texture from years of poorly finished repairs, we might suggest skimming the walls. This involves applying a layer of finishing plaster over the entire surface.
Hide old textures
Smooth out that dated "orange peel" or sandy finish.
Level the surface
Fix minor wall imperfections so your new paint looks perfectly flat.
Modernise the room
Give an old room the crisp, sharp look of a brand-new home.
Breathe Easy with Dust-Free Sanding
The number one reason people put off plaster work is the mess. Fine white dust usually finds its way into your cupboards, electronics, and carpets. We’ve invested in a professional dust-free sanding setup to change that.
Our sanders are attached to a high-powered vacuum system that sucks up the dust at the source. It keeps your home clean, protects your health, and lets us see exactly what we’re doing to get that glass-smooth finish.
Fixing the Damage: Patching Plaster Walls
Whether your home is a modern build with plasterboard or a beautiful heritage property with traditional lath and plaster, we’ve got the skills to fix it. Patching plaster walls is more than just filling a hole with putty. We make sure the patch is structurally sound so it doesn’t just pop out or crack again in six months.
From small dings to larger holes where a door handle might have gone through, we ensure the repair is flush with the remaining wall. Once we’re done, you won’t even be able to tell where the damage was.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the hole's depth, but most small patches are ready for light sanding and paint within a few hours. A full skim coat on the walls of a project usually needs to dry overnight before we start painting.
Not necessarily! Most minor repairs are quite affordable. The drywall repair cost usually depends on how many holes there are and whether we need to replace a section of the board or just fill it. We’ll give you a clear price before we start.
It’s a game-changer. While no system is 100% perfect, our dust-free sanding catches the vast majority of the mess. You won't need to move out or cover every single thing you own in plastic.
Absolutely. Ceilings can be tricky due to gravity, but we use high-grip compounds to ensure the patch stays put and blends in perfectly with the rest of the overhead surface.
Patching plaster walls is for fixing specific spots, like holes or cracks. A skim coat is a thin layer applied over the entire wall to give it a brand-new, perfectly smooth texture.
Nope! We bring our own professional-grade materials, including a range of base coats, finishing compounds, and reinforcing tapes.
Cracks are often caused by the house moving. When we handle plaster patching and smoothing Geelong-wide, we use mesh or paper tape to bridge cracks, providing extra strength to resist future movement.
Not if it's done right! We sand the edges of our patches so they "feather" out into the existing wall. Once the primer and two coats of paint are on, the repair should be completely invisible.
