Plaster Repairs in Bournemouth and Dorset.

You have got a crack running down the hallway. Or a patch of plaster that sounds hollow when you tap it. Maybe the kids put a door handle through the wall, or a leak from upstairs left the ceiling bubbling. It looks bad, but it does not always mean stripping the whole room.

We repair plaster every week across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. Patch repairs, crack stitching, cutting out blown sections, damp damage reinstatement. The goal is simple: the repair disappears once painted. No ridges, no visible edges, no ghosting through the finish.

Bournemouth has a lot of period properties. Edwardian and Victorian houses in Winton, Charminster and Westbourne with original lime plaster that needs a different approach to modern gypsum. We know the difference and use the right materials for each.

When to Repair vs When to Replaster

If the damage covers less than about 40 percent of a wall, a patch repair is usually the right call. It is faster, cheaper and less disruptive. But if more than half the wall sounds hollow, or the plaster is crumbling in several places, a full replaster and skim gives a better long-term result. We will tell you honestly which one makes sense.

For damage caused by leaks or damp, we also work with external rendering to fix the source of the problem, not just the symptom inside.
