Plaster Repair
small wall holes, dents and suitable damaged plasterboard patches
Forest Hill property context
Planning the work in Forest Hill
Your Forest Hill address establishes the location; photographs establish the repair scope. The suburb alone does not tell us the age, construction or condition of the property. Send a close view with approximate dimensions and a wider wall view showing nearby fittings, finish and access. Mention any previous repair or change you have noticed. For storage, fittings or another small change, provide dimensions and intended position. Explain what the improvement should make easier rather than leaving the result open to interpretation.
Useful details to include
- Wide and close photographs of the item and surrounding area
- Approximate measurements where size affects the scope
- Materials, hardware and existing-condition details
- Tenant, site-access or operating-hour requirements
Common repair scenarios
Common plaster repair situations
Damage around a door stop
Show the impact point and the door movement. A suitable stop or related fitting repair may help avoid repeating the damage.
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.
Minor surface crack
Include its length and any known history. Recurring or widening cracks should be assessed before they are treated as cosmetic defects.
Marked wall awaiting paint
Identify the surface repairs separately from repainting. Preparation and final coating need an agreed scope and suitable drying stages.
Why Fix Nik
Why choose Fix Nik for this job
Condition-led decisions
Review the damaged surface, sound surrounding material and whether the concern is suitable for a minor non-structural patch. A repair is considered on its merits rather than assumed from the name of the job.
Useful photo enquiries
Send a close view with approximate dimensions and a wider wall view showing nearby fittings, finish and access. Clear images help identify the questions that need answering.
Practical handover
Allow the specified drying time and discuss primer or paint preparation before applying the final finish. Any limitations or finishing stages should be understood before normal use.

Service overview
Repair options for the affected part
Not every crack belongs to a minor plaster repair. Repeated movement, significant cracking or a sagging surface needs the appropriate assessment before cosmetic treatment. Describe when the damage appeared and whether it has changed, rather than simply asking for it to be covered.
A patch needs sound surrounding material and an appropriate backing or repair method. The size of the visible hole is only part of the job: loose edges, previous patches and the condition behind the surface can affect what is practical. Include a wide view as well as a close photograph.
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.
FAQ
Plaster Repair: your questions
Is painting or finishing included?
Any finishing work needs to be identified in the quote. Existing coatings, colour differences and drying stages may affect the result. Allow the specified drying time and discuss primer or paint preparation before applying the final finish. Exact matching to an aged or unknown finish cannot be assumed from a photograph.
What should I prepare before the visit?
Clear belongings from the immediate work area and keep access available. Send a close view with approximate dimensions and a wider wall view showing nearby fittings, finish and access. Tell Fix Nik about fragile finishes, restricted entry or anything that must remain in use; dismantling the affected part yourself is not necessary.
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.
Is a wall hole repair included in plaster repair?
Yes, suitable small holes and damaged plasterboard patches are assessed within this service. The condition around the opening and any hidden concerns affect the agreed repair method.
Can this be combined with other small repairs?
Include a separate photo and description for each item. Compatible jobs can be considered together, but each still needs its own scope and suitable access. Structural movement, significant recurring cracks, sagging ceilings and suspect hazardous materials need appropriate specialist assessment. Bundling an enquiry does not change the limits of the service.
What happens if more damage is found?
The agreed scope should be reviewed before extending the work. Structural movement, significant recurring cracks, sagging ceilings and suspect hazardous materials need appropriate specialist assessment. A concealed or more extensive problem may need a separate assessment, so an initial enquiry is not a promise to complete every underlying defect.
How is the scope confirmed?
Review the damaged surface, sound surrounding material and whether the concern is suitable for a minor non-structural patch. The proposed materials, extent of the repair and any finish preparation should be agreed before work starts. A photo enquiry helps identify questions to resolve rather than promising a fixed solution without inspection.
