Plasters help finish walls, ceilings and even floors by smoothing out and or rendering their surfaces. Applying a coat of plaster on newly built walls or ceilings will give the surface a “finished” look. The final coat of plaster is usually painted over by a decorator to add color or an extra layer of protection. Plasters will often be needed to help repair damaged walls. Where there is a hole or the surface has become uneven, a plaster will aim to make the damage unnoticeable. On exterior walls of houses or walls a plaster can apply a render to help protect the structure and again give a decorative finished look. Small repair jobs, like ‘repairing a hole in plasterboard’ or ‘fixing cracks in render’, might be able to be completed by a handyman.

Plastering is a skilled job that requires knowledge of the craft and years of experience to deliver professional results. To price a job correctly a plaster will need to know the size of the surface area to be covered and what materials are to be used. While most plastering jobs get priced per job, hourly rates range from €20 to €30 and prices in Dublin may be higher than the rest of Ireland.
Get free quotes from Plasterers in your areaPlasterers will usually source and purchase the plastering materials. An experienced plaster will know which plastering materials to use on the different surfaces. Plasterers generally use their preferred products that they are familiar with and understand how to best apply them. If there is a specific type of protective or decorative finish that you want to achieve the best to talk to your plasterer about this before starting the job.
Plastering jobs range in size from repairing a small hole in a wall to plastering every wall and ceiling of a house. Where the jobs are small like ‘fixing a crack in the wall’ you might be able to hire a handyman.
To save money or simply speed up the job, people often help prepare the surface for the plasterer before they start. This could be doing something like removing old wallpaper or damaged render from a wall that will save the plasterer time in doing it themselves.
Plastering entire surfaces is a step-by-step process. On bigger jobs, it may be more cost effective to undertake all the plastering works at the same time. This way the plasterer can use their time most efficiently.
You can plaster over paint where the paint is in good condition. For plaster to bond to a surface, the surface needs to be clean and secure. Avoid plastering onto greasy or dusty surfaces. If the paint is damp or flaking then this area will need to be removed or treated before applying plaster. Using a primer or PVA solution over the painted surface may help provide extra adhesion to the plaster.
