Holes, cracks, post-pipe and post-rewire damage — filled, skimmed and finished smooth so you can paint straight over.

Same-week booking, honest pricing, no job too small.

Post-repair plaster patches are one of the most common jobs that builds up and never gets done.

John prepares surfaces correctly before any filler or plaster goes on. Prestwick’s 1930s to 1960s bungalows and semis can have a mix of wall types — some rooms with early plasterboard, others retaining the original lath-and-plaster underneath, occasionally with lime. Applying modern gypsum filler over lime will crack and fall out over time. John identifies the substrate first and uses the right material for every Prestwick wall or ceiling he works on.

Common questions about plaster patching in Prestwick
Everything you need to know before getting in touch with John.
Yes — Prestwick’s 1930s to 1960s bungalows and semis often have a mix of wall finishes. Some rooms were replastered or drylining-boarded in later decades; others still have the original lath-and-plaster, and the very oldest may have lime. Applying modern gypsum filler directly over lime will eventually shrink and fail. John identifies the plaster type before starting any repair and uses a lime-compatible material where needed — it’s a basic step that many miss but makes a significant difference to how long the repair holds.
Small filler patches can be touch-dry within a few hours and ready to paint the next day. Larger skim patches typically need 24–48 hours to dry fully depending on the size of the patch and the ambient temperature. Lime plaster repairs may need longer than gypsum — John will advise on drying time for each specific job when he visits your Prestwick property.
John patches everything from small screw holes and anchor pull-outs to large post-pipe repair channels and full wall sections. Very large areas may need a full skim coat rather than patching — John will advise on the best approach for your specific Prestwick wall or ceiling when he comes out to quote.
