Plaster Repair
small wall holes, dents and suitable damaged plasterboard patches
Common repair scenarios
Common plaster repair situations
Damaged plasterboard edge
Photograph loose or broken edges and nearby fittings. Sound support around the patch is important for a suitable repair.
Old fixing holes
List the holes and identify what was removed. Several small patches can be considered together if access and finish expectations are clear.
Previous patch shows through
Explain whether the issue is unevenness, texture or paint sheen. A finishing problem may need a different approach from repairing an open hole.
Small wall hole
Show the hole with a ruler beside it and a wider room view. The surrounding material and any visible backing help explain the repair.
Minor surface crack
Include its length and any known history. Recurring or widening cracks should be assessed before they are treated as cosmetic defects.

Bend Of Islands property context
Planning the work in Bend Of Islands

Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.

Service overview
Understanding the plaster repair scope
Small wall damage can be very noticeable in normal room lighting. Fix Nik assesses suitable plaster and plasterboard patches for holes, dents and damaged surfaces, with preparation planned around the existing wall and the finish expected afterwards.
Occupied rooms need practical preparation for access and dust control. Explain furniture, fittings and daily room use so the work area can be planned. Do not cut into the wall or remove suspect material just to obtain dimensions for the enquiry.
Matching the surrounding finish can influence how much preparation is needed. Existing texture, paint sheen and lighting may make a small patch visible even when its surface is smooth. Discuss the intended result and any wider paint touch-up before work is scheduled.

FAQ
Plaster Repair: your questions
When is a different trade needed?
Structural movement, significant recurring cracks, sagging ceilings and suspect hazardous materials need appropriate specialist assessment. Fix Nik first checks whether the request fits the approved minor-work scope. If it does not, the appropriate specialist assessment takes priority over attempting a limited repair that would leave the main problem unresolved.
Can a recurring crack just be patched again?
A recurring or changing crack may have an unresolved cause. Its history should be reviewed before cosmetic work, and significant movement requires the appropriate specialist assessment.
Is repair always preferable to replacing the part?
Keeping suitable material can limit disruption, but only when the remaining support and condition allow it. Agree patching, backing where suitable, drying stages, sanding and any separate painting requirements. If a small repair would leave the cause unresolved, the replacement or specialist options should be discussed first.
What care is needed after the repair?
Allow the specified drying time and discuss primer or paint preparation before applying the final finish. If the original symptom returns, note what has changed and share a photo rather than repeatedly adjusting or covering the affected area. Follow any specific guidance agreed for the materials used.
Does a photo confirm that surrounding construction is sound?
No. Photos help explain visible condition but cannot confirm concealed support or the extent of hidden damage. Structural movement, significant recurring cracks, sagging ceilings and suspect hazardous materials need appropriate specialist assessment. Where the repair depends on something that cannot be checked remotely, the limitation should be resolved before proceeding.
Can the patch be painted immediately?
Drying and preparation requirements depend on the repair materials and conditions. Follow the agreed stages rather than applying paint to a surface that is not ready.
What information about a previous repair is useful?
Explain what was changed, roughly when it was done and whether the same fault has returned. Review the damaged surface, sound surrounding material and whether the concern is suitable for a minor non-structural patch. A repeated problem may point to an unresolved cause, and that history helps avoid agreeing another purely cosmetic treatment.
