Walls

Plaster wall repairs

Most jobs start here. Whether it is one stubborn crack or a wall full of patch marks left behind by someone else, our plaster wall repairs are prepared, filled, feathered and smoothed so the join does not telegraph through the topcoat.

We handle the everyday damage that makes a room look tired: crack repairs along cornices and doorways, dents from furniture, and the rough plaster patching that never quite got finished. For bigger holes, our plaster hole repair cuts back to sound material and rebuilds the surface rather than skinning over the problem.

Working on a renovation that also needs new sheeting? Installation and full gyprock and plasterboard installation lives on our dedicated Gyprock page. On this page we focus on plastering and repairs, including small gyprock repair where the existing sheet stays in place. If you want the detail on why drywall plastering lasts longer than a filler job, our guide on how drywall plastering improves wall durability walks through it.

Ceilings

Ceiling repairs

Ceilings are less forgiving than walls because every flaw catches the light. Our ceiling repairs restore a flat, even surface, whether the cause is age, movement, a past repair or a leak from above.

A clean plaster ceiling repair is about more than filling the obvious mark. We check the surrounding area, re-secure where needed, then finish so the repaired section reads as one continuous ceiling. Light sanding, ceiling patching and a final check under raking light keep the result honest.

Sagging ceiling repair

Loose or bowing sheets re-fixed and made safe, then refinished flush. A sagging ceiling repair is treated as a priority.

Water damaged ceiling repair

Once the leak is sorted, our water damaged ceiling repair removes the failed plaster, seals stains and rebuilds the surface.

Ceiling patching

Smaller marks, fixings and access cuts patched and feathered into the existing finish.

Interiors and detail

Interior plastering and cornice

Beyond repairs, we take on the interior plastering that finishes a space, from fresh walls in a renovated room to the cornice line where wall meets ceiling.

Interior plastering brings a tired or part-renovated room back to a single, even surface ready for colour. We also carry out the plastering repairs that keep older homes looking their best, matching profiles and textures rather than leaving an obvious modern patch.

Cornice installation

New cornice installation to define a room, with clean mitres and seamless joins.

Paint-ready finish

Every job leaves a paint-ready finish, the standard your painter actually needs.

Because the finish is what you see, plastering and painting work best together. When the repair is done we can move straight into interior painting, and for larger sites our commercial painting team can take it from there.

The difference that shows up under paintInteriors

A patch job is not a repair

Anyone can smear filler into a crack. The problem appears later, once the paint dries and the light hits it. Here is the line we work to.

No feathering, so the edge shows as a halo

Proof of work

The real test of a repair is how it looks once painted. Here is what seamless, paint-ready finishing looks like.

How it works

Assessed first, never guessed

We would rather look before we quote. That way you know whether it is plaster, plasterboard or a broader repair, and you are not paying for guesswork.

Inspect

We assess the surface and tell you what is actually going on.

02

Prepare

Furniture protected, dust contained, area masked and set up.

03

Repair

The plaster work itself, cut back, built up and feathered.

04

Check

Final sand and a look under raking light before we call it done.

05

Recommend

If something else needs attention, we tell you straight.

Why Mi Painting

Licensed, accountable, and easy to deal with

Plenty of operators will quote a wall. Fewer hold a licence, turn up when they say, and leave the place clean. Licence 495198C is on this page for a reason. It means you have someone accountable for the finish.

Service clarification: Our plastering team handles new wall lining, cornice installation, patchwork and texture removal for residential and commercial sites across Sydney.

Honest scope

Questions to ask any plasterer

You only want a quick cosmetic filler patch that is cheap now and shows through the paint later. We do repairs that last.

You need structural engineering advice or sign off. We are licensed plasterers, not engineers, and will tell you when an engineer is the right call.

You need external cladding or render work. This page is internal plaster, walls and ceilings. External cladding is outside our scope.

Questions, answered

Plastering FAQs

A ceiling crack repair reopens when the underlying movement is not addressed and the crack is simply filled. We rake the crack out, reinforce it, then build and feather the surface so it can handle normal seasonal movement. If a crack signals something structural, we will say so rather than paint over it.

Plaster is the smooth finishing layer. Plasterboard, often called gyprock, is the sheet that forms the wall or ceiling. A repair might involve the sheet, the finish, or both. We assess which is involved before quoting. New sheeting and full plasterboard installation is covered on our Gyprock page, while this page handles plastering and repairs.

It depends on the size and depth of the repair and the conditions on the day. The finish needs to be fully dry before painting or the paint can crack and flash. We will let you know the right window for your specific job and leave you with a genuine paint-ready finish.

We remove debris and leave the site tidy.

Fine hairline cracks are common as a building expands and contracts and are usually cosmetic. They are worth repairing properly so they do not widen or reappear under fresh paint. If cracks are wide, growing or stepped, we will take a closer look before recommending the right repair.

Yes. Blending into the surrounding surface is the whole job. We feather repairs out, match the texture and check the result under raking light so the repaired area reads as part of the original wall or ceiling once it is painted.

Yes. We carry out residential plastering for homes and rentals, and commercial plastering for offices, retail spaces and fit-outs. From a single wall crack repair through to internal plastering across a whole site, the standard stays the same.

We install standard plasterboard, fire rated sheets and moisture resistant sheets based on room needs.
