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.

Plaster Repair
small wall holes, dents and suitable damaged plasterboard patches
Service overview
What suitable plaster repair involves
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.
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.
Golden Point property context
Planning the work in Golden Point
For a plaster repair visit in Golden Point, describe the actual access to the affected part. A clear work area, permission to carry out the repair and any restrictions on entry help define the visit. Review the damaged surface, sound surrounding material and whether the concern is suitable for a minor non-structural patch. Homes around Golden Point can combine established building materials with newer fittings and outdoor elements. A useful maintenance request identifies the affected surface or fixture, its condition and the result required, helping distinguish a straightforward handyman task from work that needs a licensed specialist.
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
Why Fix Nik
A considered approach to small repairs
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.
Clear repair boundaries
Structural movement, significant recurring cracks, sagging ceilings and suspect hazardous materials need appropriate specialist assessment.
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.
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.
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.
Marked wall awaiting paint
Identify the surface repairs separately from repainting. Preparation and final coating need an agreed scope and suitable drying stages.
Impact dent
Shallow dents and broken board need different preparation. Side lighting in a photo can help show the damaged surface without enlarging it.

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.
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.
How long does plaster repair take?
Timing depends on the condition, access and compatible materials rather than the suburb. Agree patching, backing where suitable, drying stages, sanding and any separate painting requirements. Preparation, drying or parts availability can affect the sequence. The practical timing is discussed once enough detail is available to define the job.
What photos help with plaster repair?
Send a close view with approximate dimensions and a wider wall view showing nearby fittings, finish and access. Include an overall view as well as close-ups so the relationship between the faulty part and its surroundings is clear. Please do not remove components simply to take a photograph.
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.
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.
Can replacement parts be supplied by the customer?
Discuss the product before purchasing it. Dimensions, fixing positions and compatibility matter, and an apparently similar part may not suit the existing assembly. Review the damaged surface, sound surrounding material and whether the concern is suitable for a minor non-structural patch. Photos and product details can help avoid buying an unsuitable replacement.
