About this service
What this service involves
Cracked, blown or damp-damaged plaster undermines any finish you put over it. Repairing it — filling cracks, patching holes, reskimming or treating blown areas — gives you a sound, smooth surface that takes paint or paper evenly and lasts. Tell us what needs sorting and we'll help connect you with a local decorator offering plaster repair and preparation.
