We take a detailed, professional approach to repairing plaster cracks—ensuring both aesthetic quality and long-term durability.
Our team is experienced in identifying and repairing all types of plaster wall cracks, including:
We assess the area to determine the root cause of the cracking. If we detect any structural or moisture-related issues, we’ll advise you on the next steps.
We remove loose or damaged plaster, then clean and prime the area to ensure strong adhesion for the repair materials.
Cracks are filled using premium-grade plaster compound or jointing material. For deeper cracks, we use mesh tape to reinforce the area before re-skimming to a smooth finish.
Once dry, the surface is sanded and carefully blended with the surrounding wall or ceiling for a seamless result.
If required, we can repaint the repaired area to match your existing décor, restoring the wall or ceiling to its original appearance.
As featured in the Master Builders ACT directory, we meet industry standards and deliver high-quality work that lasts.
