Factors that affect cost

  • Type of plastering — a skim coat is quicker and cheaper than full re-plastering
  • Room size and ceiling height — larger surfaces require more time and material
  • Preparation work — removing old plaster or artex adds significant time
  • Number of coats required and drying time between visits

💡 Money-saving tips

  • 1.Skim coating is sufficient in most cases — opt for full replastering only where plaster is crumbling
  • 2.Allow walls to dry for at least 4–6 weeks before painting
  • 3.Ask about mist coat painting — freshly plastered walls need a diluted first coat
  • 4.Good plasterers get booked up fast — book 4–6 weeks ahead
