Wall Plastering & Crack Repair

A good finish starts under the paint

Paint shows every flaw in the wall underneath. Cracks, bumps, hollow patches and chipped corners all become more visible after a fresh coat. Proper plastering fixes the surface first, so the paint looks smooth and stays on the wall.

Common plastering problems we fix

• Hairline and settlement cracks in older HDB flats and landed homes.
• Hollow or loose plaster that sounds empty when tapped and can fall off.
• Damaged corners and edges from moving furniture.
• Patches after hacking, when old tiles, cabinets or fittings are removed.
• Uneven walls that need a skim coat before painting or wallpaper.

Cement plaster and skim coat

For deep repairs and new walls we apply cement and sand plaster, then a fine skim coat to give a smooth surface. For walls that are sound but rough, a skim coat alone is often enough. We cut out loose plaster completely before repairing, rather than covering it, so the problem does not come back.

Done together with painting

Most plastering work is followed by painting. Our painting team can start once the plaster has cured, so you get one schedule and one quotation. For renovation projects, plastering is part of our HDB renovation service.

If a crack is wide, keeps growing or shows water stains, it may be a sign of a leak or structural movement. We will tell you honestly what we see and, where needed, recommend a structural check before cosmetic repair.
