Cracked Plastering Repairs

Cracks in walls or ceilings can worsen over time. We identify the root cause and apply the right repair technique — filling, reinforcing, and finishing with care so the crack won’t return.

What Causes Plaster to Crack?

Understanding why a crack occurs is key to fixing it the right way. Here are some common reasons:

  • Changes in building materials with the seasons
  • Movement or settling of the base
  • Water leaks or moisture
  • Poor quality of work
  • Shaking from nearby building or traffic
  • Fluctuations in temperature
  • Natural wear in older Canberra houses

If you ignore cracked plaster, it can lead to bigger problems. A small crack can grow and get deeper. This can result in loose and falling plaster. Our team can notice these signs early and offer the best repair options.

Our Cracked Plaster Repair Process

We see every crack as unique — and it truly is. Our careful method ensures a strong and skilled result.

  1. Inspection & Finding Out – We look at where the crack is, how deep it is, and what type it is. If the crack keeps coming back, we check for the cause. This might be due to movement in the frame or old water damage.

  2. Getting Ready – We clean the area, take off any loose plaster, and cover nearby surfaces. We also prepare to control dust so it does not get into your home.

  3. Support (if needed) – If there is movement in the building, we might use fibreglass tape or mesh to make the area strong before adding the plaster.

  4. Filling & Layering – We fill the cracks with good plaster in several layers. We let each layer dry fully before adding the next one to prevent shrinking and issues.

  5. Sanding & Finishing – Once it dries, we sand the surface to make it smooth and match the textures around it. Your wall or ceiling will be ready for paint, with no visible repairs showing.

Types of Cracks We Repair:

  • Little cracks in walls or ceilings
  • Cracks at the edges or joints
  • Vertical or horizontal wall cracks
