Plastering & Patch Repairs in Melbourne
Professional plastering & patch repairs across Melbourne & surrounds
Plaster and patch repairs are about making damage disappear — not leaving a visible bump that catches the light every time you walk past. We cut back damaged sections, patch flush, sand smooth, and leave the surface ready for paint across Melbourne homes and rentals.
Holes from removed fixtures, door-handle impacts, and settlement cracks are common in Melbourne's mix of period homes and newer builds. We check what is behind the damage — moisture, movement, or loose substrate — so the repair holds once it is painted.
End-of-lease make-good, pre-sale touch-ups, and post-renovation snagging all benefit from clean plaster work. We can patch in one visit and repaint in the same booking if you need the room finished in a single trip.
Our approach
How we work this job
Assess damage and substrate
We check what's behind the crack or hole — moisture, movement, or old fixings — so the patch lasts once painted.
Patch, set, and sand flush
Damaged sections are cut back, filled or replaced, and sanded level with the surrounding wall or ceiling.
Prime and paint-ready finish
We leave the area primed and ready for paint — or complete the repaint in the same visit if you've booked both.

FAQs
Common questions
Can you paint the patched area too?
Yes — we can patch and repaint in the same visit so there's no visible join.
How long before I can paint over a patch?
Most patches need a short cure time after sanding. We'll tell you on the day — often the same visit if conditions allow.
Do you match existing wall texture?
We sand and blend to match flat and lightly textured surfaces. Heavy texture matching can be discussed when we quote.
