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
Marked wall awaiting paint
Identify the surface repairs separately from repainting. Preparation and final coating need an agreed scope and suitable drying stages.
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.
Minor surface crack
Include its length and any known history. Recurring or widening cracks should be assessed before they are treated as cosmetic defects.
Damaged plasterboard edge
Photograph loose or broken edges and nearby fittings. Sound support around the patch is important for a suitable 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.
Service overview
Repair options for the affected part
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
How do I request a quote in Narbethong?
Use the quote form with your Narbethong 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.
