Plastering in Auckland
Interior skim coats and plaster repairs that leave old and new surfaces reading as one wall.
5.018 Google reviews
Older homes move, and plaster cracks with them. We repair the cause where we can, then blend the patch into the surrounding wall so it does not read as a patch once it is painted.
For tired or uneven walls and ceilings, a full skim coat gives you a new surface without relining the room. We plaster interiors only; for the outside of the house, see exterior painting.
What we do
- Skim coating walls and ceilings
- Crack, hole and water-damage repairs
- Patching after electrical and plumbing work
- Ceiling repairs and replacement
The paint we finish with
When we paint the walls we have lined, stopped or plastered, it is with Resene or Dulux, so the finish is as good as the surface under it.
Resene, voted New Zealand's most trusted paint brand every year from 2012 to 2023
