Plastering and Gyprock Repair FAQs

Should I paint before or after plaster repairs?

Plaster repairs should be completed and fully dry before painting. Many people have repairs and painting carried out together or in close sequence so surfaces can be finished with a consistent colour and sheen.

Can all cracks be made invisible?

Good preparation and sanding can reduce the appearance of repairs, but some cracks may show faintly under certain light, especially on old or uneven surfaces. Your plasterer can explain what level of finish is realistic for your walls or ceilings.

What if there is water damage in the plasterboard?

Water damaged plasterboard may need to be cut out and replaced rather than patched. It is also important to find and address the source of any leaks before completing final repairs so damage does not return later.

Can plaster repairs be done in an occupied home?

Yes. Plasterers work in many lived in homes. They may use drop sheets and dust control methods to keep work areas as tidy as practical. You can discuss how many rooms will be affected on each day when planning the job.
