FAQ
What’s the difference between plastering and patching?
Patching refers to repairing small damaged areas, such as holes, cracks, or dents in walls or ceilings. It’s typically a quick fix and may involve sanding, filling, and repainting. Plastering, on the other hand, is a broader term that includes applying new layers of plaster to surfaces — either during new construction or large-scale renovations. On the Tablelands, where older homes may show wear from humidity or movement, both services are commonly used to restore a smooth, clean finish. Patching is ideal for touch-ups, while plastering offers complete surface renewal. Choosing the right method depends on the size and condition of the affected area.
When should I consider replastering a wall?
Replastering is recommended when walls show signs of extensive cracking, bubbling, sagging, or uneven texture. These issues can occur in older homes or buildings exposed to moisture and temperature changes — common conditions on the Tablelands. Replastering provides a fresh, even surface that’s ideal for painting or finishing. It can also improve insulation and acoustics in some cases. If patching alone no longer delivers a seamless result, or if damage keeps recurring, full replastering may be the better option. A proper inspection will help determine whether spot repairs are sufficient or whether a complete redo is needed for durability and appearance.
Can a patched wall be painted over straight away?
Not immediately. After patching a wall, the filler or compound must dry completely before sanding and painting. On the Tablelands’ humid climate, drying may take slightly longer than usual, depending on the product used and ventilation in the space. Once dry, the area should be sanded smooth and sealed with a primer before applying paint. Skipping these steps can result in uneven colour, visible patches, or poor paint adhesion. While it can be tempting to rush the process, proper drying and preparation ensure a professional, lasting finish — especially in frequently used areas or where lighting highlights surface imperfections.
