As an experienced plastering specialist, I handle everything from small scuffs to full room repairs with care and attention. I assess the cause of damage, advise on the best fix and keep you informed at every stage.

Plastering Repair Services
I offer a full range of plastering repair services for homes and light commercial spaces. From minor patching and crack filling to re skimming whole ceilings or walls, I match new work carefully to existing surfaces.
I can also repair damage after leaks, accidents or building work, leaving a smooth, solid base ready for decorating, tiling or further renovation.
Ceiling and Wall Crack Repairs
Cracks can appear after movement, settlement or minor impact. I open up each crack, treat any loose areas and fill with suitable materials before finishing with a smooth skim.
This helps stop cracks from quickly returning and keeps surfaces strong and stable.
Small Patch Repairs and Touch Ups
Small knocks, screw holes and chipped corners can ruin an otherwise neat room.
I carefully cut back loose areas, apply fresh plaster and blend the repair into the surrounding wall or ceiling. Once dry, your decorator will hardly see where the damage was.
Water Damaged Plaster Repairs
Leaks from roofs, bathrooms or pipes can leave plaster soft, stained and unsafe. I identify how far the damage has spread, remove weak material and rebuild using moisture resistant products where needed.
Once repaired and dried, the area is ready for sealing and redecorating.
Re-Skimming for a Smooth Finish
Tired, uneven walls and ceilings can often be saved with a fresh skim. I prepare the surface, apply bonding where required and lay a thin, even coat of plaster.
This creates a smooth, modern finish that is perfect for painting or wallpaper.
Insurance and Accident Damage Repairs
Impact from furniture, children, trades or tenants can leave large holes and broken sections.
I work with you, and your insurer if needed, to assess the damage and agree a repair plan. My careful work restores plastered areas so rooms look tidy and safe again.
Plasterboard Replacement and Repairs
Where plasterboard is too damaged to patch, I can replace full boards or sections.
I cut out the affected area, fix new board, tape the joints and finish with plaster. The result is a solid, long lasting surface ready for new decoration.
Repairing Plaster After Electrical or Plumbing Work
Electrical rewires, extra sockets, new lighting and plumbing upgrades often mean cutting into walls and ceilings.
Once your electrician or plumber has finished, I step in to restore a smooth finish. I fill chases, repair cut outs around pipes and boxes, and re-skim larger sections where needed so repairs blend with the existing surface.
By booking the work soon after the installation is complete, you avoid long delays before decorating and keep your project moving. I can work room by room to suit your schedule and access.
Request a Plastering Repair Quote
When you contact GFM Plastering Contractors for plastering repairs, I start by asking for a brief description of the problem, photos if possible and your preferred times for a visit. This helps me give a clear idea of cost and likely timescales. For larger or more complex jobs, I can arrange a site visit to check the damage in person and talk through options.
You will receive a written quote with a simple breakdown of the work included. There is no pressure to decide on the day. Once you are happy to go ahead, I agree dates that suit you and keep you updated until the job is complete. My aim is a smooth, stress free repair from start to finish.
Plastering Repairs
Plastering repairs cover cracks, holes, loose plaster and damaged corners. Weak areas are carefully removed, bonded and filled, then reskimmed to blend into the surrounding wall or ceiling, leaving a smooth, even finish ready for paint or paper.
Plaster Skimming
Plaster skimming gives tired walls and ceilings a fresh, modern look. A fine plaster coat is applied to cover minor imperfections, old artex or rough surfaces, leaving a smooth base that is ideal for painting or wallpapering.
External Rendering
External rendering protects brickwork and improves kerb appeal. Options include traditional sand and cement, coloured render and insulated systems to suit each property. Surfaces are prepared correctly and render is applied for a clean, weather resistant finish that enhances the building.
