Plaster repairs that disappear under the paint

The cost depends on the size, number and location of the damaged areas, the type of repair required and whether the surrounding wall or ceiling needs to be repainted.

Yes. Door-handle holes are a common plaster repair. The damaged plasterboard may be patched, sanded, primed and repainted. A suitable doorstop should also be installed to help prevent future damage.

Many minor plaster cracks can be repaired. However, cracks caused by ongoing structural movement may return and should be assessed before cosmetic repairs are completed.

Small repairs may be completed relatively quickly, but plaster compound requires drying time between coats. Larger repairs may require several visits or extended drying periods before sanding, priming and painting can be completed.
