Impact dent
Shallow dents and broken board need different preparation. Side lighting in a photo can help show the damaged surface without enlarging it.

Plaster Repair
small wall holes, dents and suitable damaged plasterboard patches
Common repair scenarios
Common plaster repair situations
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.
Damaged plasterboard edge
Photograph loose or broken edges and nearby fittings. Sound support around the patch is important for a suitable repair.
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.
Marked wall awaiting paint
Identify the surface repairs separately from repainting. Preparation and final coating need an agreed scope and suitable drying stages.
Minor surface crack
Include its length and any known history. Recurring or widening cracks should be assessed before they are treated as cosmetic defects.
Why Fix Nik
Why choose Fix Nik for this job
Existing materials considered
Dimensions, finish and the condition around the damaged part are reviewed together. Compatible replacement material matters more than a close visual resemblance.
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.
Horsham property context
Planning the work in Horsham
Your Horsham 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 work in Horsham, include wide and close photographs, approximate dimensions and notes about parking, tenants or site access. Separate urgent faults from cosmetic improvements so materials, sequencing and appropriate services can be considered clearly.
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
Service overview
Repair options for the affected part
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.
Drying, sanding and finishing are separate stages. A repair that looks complete while wet may still need time before a coating can be applied. The quote should explain the preparation and paint scope rather than assuming a single visit will produce a fully repainted wall.
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
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.
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.
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.
Will the repair match my wall texture?
Texture, paint sheen and existing lighting influence the appearance. Discuss the finish expectation in advance; an exact invisible match cannot be promised from photographs alone.
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.
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.
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.
