Why Clients Choose DC Decorators for Plastering

Detailed Prep Before Any Paint Goes On

We cut out damaged plaster, fill, set and sand each repair until it sits flush with the wall. A patch that is not sanded flat shows through the new paint.

What Changes the Price of Plastering

Two plaster jobs that look alike can cost very different amounts. These six things move the price most.

  • Size of the Area

    A few patches or a whole wall or ceiling.

  • Type of Damage

    Water damage and sagging take more work than small cracks.

  • Surface Condition

    Soft or loose plaster has to come out first.

  • Finish You Want

    A smooth paint-ready finish or a texture over brick.

  • Ceiling Height

    High ceilings and voids need ladders or a lift.

  • Painting After

    Repairs only, or repairs plus a full repaint of the room.

Your quote is fixed-scope and in writing, based on what Dan sees on site. All six are accounted for before you agree to anything.

Water-Damaged Ceilings and Old Wallpaper

Two things to check before plaster repairs on a Brisbane home or office.

Open-plan office with white walls, a flat white ceiling, strip lights and dark blue carpet after the repaint

Repairing Water-Damaged Ceilings

Water weakens plaster, and wet plaster can grow mould. WorkSafe Queensland says to find and fix the water problem first. It also says plasterboard that has stayed wet too long, or has visible mould, should be removed rather than cleaned.

This two-level office had water-damaged ceilings throughout and new light fittings, so there was plenty of plastering to fix before painting. We patched the damaged sections, sanded them flat, then repainted the ceilings and walls.

WorkSafe Queensland: managing mould

Why We Do Not Plaster Over Wallpaper

Plaster does not hold well on wallpaper. The paper can let go of the wall, and the plaster can lift or crack with it. Our standard practice is to strip the wallpaper before any plastering.

If wallpaper has to stay in a spot, Dan talks you through the options before you agree to anything. On this job the patterned paper came off the stairwell and the walls were prepared and repainted.

Plastering Questions

How much will plastering cost me in Brisbane?

It depends on the size of the job, the type of damage, the finish you want and the condition of the existing surfaces. Dan visits, looks at each wall and ceiling and gives you a fixed-scope written quote. The quote is free.

Can you plaster over existing plaster?

Often, yes. We check the existing surface first. Loose or damaged sections may need to come out, and the rest may need a skim coat or a bonding agent before the new plaster goes on.

Can you plaster over wallpaper?

We do not recommend it. Plaster over wallpaper can lift or crack when the paper lets go. Our standard practice is to strip the wallpaper first. If it has to stay, Dan explains the options before work starts.

Can you fix a water-damaged ceiling?

Yes. The leak needs to be fixed first. Then we remove the damaged plaster, patch and sand the ceiling and repaint it so the repair does not show.

Do you paint after the plaster repairs?

Yes. We prime and paint repaired walls and ceilings in premium paint from Dulux, Taubmans or Wattyl. Colour advice is included in every quote.

Are you licensed?

Yes. DC Decorators holds QBCC licence 15331027. We are Master Painters Australia members and a Dulux Accredited Painter.

What warranty do I get?

Every job comes with a 5-year painter's workmanship warranty and our satisfaction guarantee. Queensland home warranty rules also apply to residential work over $3,300.

In which areas of Brisbane do you offer plastering?

We offer plastering across Brisbane, north, south, east and west. See the full suburb list or check your suburb.
