Plaster repair in Ellerslie, blended into the original wall

As older Ellerslie houses settle, the plaster tells the story: hairline cracking, lath separation bulges, crumbling around past repairs. In Ellerslie we repair plaster walls and ceilings and blend the work into the surrounding surface, or skim the whole wall to a flat modern finish. Ellerslie is this established Ellerslie community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so plaster work here ranges from spot crack repair to full-wall resurfacing. We cover Ellerslie, Charlesworth, Decoteau, Summerside and Ellerslie, 7 days a week.

Our Ellerslie plaster repair process, step by step

Stabilise the plaster first

A plaster repair in Ellerslie only lasts if the plaster is stable. Pulled-away Ellerslie plaster gets re-anchored; crumbling sections get cut back to sound material first. That skipped step is why Ellerslie plaster patches so often re-crack.

Patch, skim, blend

The right plaster-grade material goes in, the area or full wall gets skimmed flat, edges feathered wide, then sanded paint-ready. In most Ellerslie homes, once it is painted you will not find where we worked.

What affects the cost of plaster repair in Ellerslie?

Crack repair vs bulging plaster

The cost of plaster repair in Ellerslie depends on whether it is a surface crack, bulging plaster that has separated from the lath, or a failed section that needs cutting out. An Ellerslie surface crack is a fast repair; lath re-anchoring or plaster replacement is the bigger job. We assess on site and give a fixed price first.

Repair vs skim-over in Ellerslie

Many plaster walls here are best skim-coated over once the damage is stabilised — it brings an old wall back to a flat, modern finish rather than chasing endless cracks. We tell you honestly which makes sense for your Ellerslie home.
