Explain whether the issue is unevenness, texture or paint sheen. A finishing problem may need a different approach from repairing an open hole.

Plaster Repair
small wall holes, dents and suitable damaged plasterboard patches
Common repair scenarios
Common plaster repair situations
Impact dent
Shallow dents and broken board need different preparation. Side lighting in a photo can help show the damaged surface without enlarging it.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Kingsville property context
Planning the work in Kingsville
Your Kingsville 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. A useful Kingsville enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
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.
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.

FAQ
Plaster Repair: your questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How do I request a quote in Kingsville?
Use the quote form with your Kingsville address, contact details and a brief description of the problem. Send a close view with approximate dimensions and a wider wall view showing nearby fittings, finish and access. Mention any access arrangements so Fix Nik can clarify the work and the next step before a visit is arranged.
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.
