Can you repair cracks in plaster walls and ceilings?
Yes. We repair cracking in plasterboard and older plaster systems. The appropriate repair method depends on the cause of the crack and the condition of the surrounding plaster.

Repair or Replace?
Not every damaged wall or ceiling needs replacing.
In many cases, damaged plaster can be repaired without removing the entire wall or ceiling. The right approach depends on the cause of the damage, how secure the surrounding plaster is and the condition of the existing substrate.
Where sections are loose, badly deteriorated or affected by repeated movement or moisture, partial removal and replacement may provide a better long-term result.
We can assess the existing area and explain the practical repair options before the work begins.
Older Melbourne Homes
Repairing older and existing plaster.
Many Melbourne homes contain older solid plaster, horsehair plaster, lath-and-plaster ceilings or previous repairs completed over many decades.
Older plaster can behave differently from modern plasterboard. Some areas may be suitable for repair, while loose or deteriorated sections may need to be removed and replaced.
RSG Plastering has extensive experience working with existing walls and ceilings and can recommend a practical approach based on the condition of the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plaster repair questions.
Do you take on smaller plaster repair jobs?
Yes. RSG Plastering undertakes suitable residential plaster repair work throughout Melbourne, including damaged walls, cracked ceilings, holes and localised replacement work.
Can you repair water-damaged plaster?
Yes, provided the original water leak or moisture source has already been identified and rectified. Depending on the damage, the affected plaster may need repair or replacement.
Do you repair old solid plaster?
Yes. We regularly work with older solid plaster walls and ceilings. Loose, drummy or badly deteriorated areas may require additional removal before the repair can be completed.
Can I send photos before arranging an inspection?
Yes. Our enquiry form allows you to upload multiple photos or plans. Clear photos can often help us understand the repair before deciding whether an inspection is required.
