Professional Repairs for Damaged Walls & Ceilings
Plaster naturally ages over time, but poor workmanship, moisture, movement and accidental damage can all leave walls and ceilings looking tired. Identifying the underlying cause is just as important as repairing the visible damage. Below are some of the most common plastering problems encountered in homes throughout Metheringham, Lincoln and the surrounding villages.
Cracked Plaster
Settlement cracks, movement and ageing plaster can all lead to visible cracks. Repairs restore both appearance and structural integrity.
Water Damage
Leaks often leave stained, blown or weakened plaster that needs careful repair before decorating can begin.
Holes & Impact Damage
Accidental damage, electrical work and plumbing alterations frequently leave walls needing professional patch repairs.
Blown Plaster
Loose plaster that has separated from the wall should be repaired before it deteriorates further.
Uneven Walls
Poor previous workmanship and ageing surfaces can create uneven finishes that affect decorating and furniture fitting.
Old Artex
Textured ceilings can be professionally covered to create a clean, modern finish without the need for complete replacement.
Unsure What's Causing the Damage?
Every wall tells a story. Some cracks are completely harmless, while others may indicate movement, damp or previous repairs that haven't been completed correctly. During every quotation, the existing plaster is carefully assessed so the correct repair method can be recommended.
The aim is always to provide an honest solution that delivers a durable repair, rather than simply covering up the problem.
Which Plastering Solution Is Right for Your Home?
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is whether their walls simply need skimming or whether they require complete replastering. The right option depends on the condition of the existing plaster, the age of the property and the finish you're hoping to achieve.
Wall Skimming
- Refreshes tired walls
- Creates a perfectly smooth finish
- Ideal before decorating
- Cost-effective solution
- Less disruption
- Perfect when existing plaster is sound
Full Replastering
- Repairs badly damaged plaster
- Removes blown plaster
- Creates completely new surfaces
- Perfect for renovations
- Long-lasting professional finish
- Recommended where plaster has failed
Unsure Which Option Is Best?
Every property is different. Older homes, previous repairs, damp issues and natural movement can all affect the condition of your plaster. Choosing the correct solution helps avoid unnecessary work while achieving the best possible finish.
If you're unsure whether your walls need skimming or complete replastering, I'm always happy to provide honest advice with no pressure or obligation.

Do you offer plastering services in Metheringham?
Yes. Metheringham Handyman provides local plastering services throughout Metheringham, Lincoln and surrounding Lincolnshire villages, including wall skimming, ceiling plastering, patch repairs, crack repairs and full room plastering.
What plastering services do you offer?
I offer wall skimming, ceiling plastering, plaster repairs, crack repairs, patch plastering, Artex covering, plasterboarding, dry lining, full room plastering and preparation work before painting or wallpapering.
What is the difference between plastering and skimming?
Skimming is a thin finish coat applied over suitable existing plaster or plasterboard to create a smooth surface. Plastering can involve deeper repairs, new plasterboard, bonding coats or full surface preparation before the final smooth finish is applied.
Can you skim over old plaster?
Yes, old plaster can often be skimmed if it is still solid, dry and properly bonded to the wall. If the plaster is blown, loose, damp or badly cracked, repairs may be needed before skimming.
Can you repair cracked plaster?
Yes. Cracked plaster can usually be repaired by preparing the damaged area, stabilising the surface and applying the correct plaster repair method before finishing it smoothly.
Can you repair holes in plaster walls?
Yes. Small holes, impact damage, old fixing holes and areas damaged by plumbing or electrical work can usually be patch repaired without needing to replaster the whole wall.
Can you plaster ceilings?
Yes. Ceiling plastering is available for damaged ceilings, uneven ceilings, old textured ceilings and rooms that need a fresh smooth finish before decorating.
Can you cover Artex ceilings?
In many cases, Artex ceilings can be prepared and skimmed over to create a smooth modern finish. The condition and age of the Artex should always be assessed before work begins.
How long does plaster take to dry?
Fresh plaster usually takes around 3 to 7 days to dry, depending on ventilation, temperature, thickness and the size of the area. Plaster should be completely dry before painting.
When can I paint new plaster?
You should only paint new plaster once it has fully dried and changed to a pale, even colour. A mist coat is normally recommended before applying standard paint.
Do I need to remove wallpaper before plastering?
Yes. Wallpaper should be removed before plastering because plaster will not bond properly to wallpaper. Removing it also helps reveal the true condition of the wall underneath.
Do you offer small plastering jobs?
Yes. Small plastering jobs are welcome, including patch repairs, small wall repairs, cracked plaster, damaged corners, holes and single-wall skimming.
Do you plaster full rooms?
Yes. Full room plastering is available for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, home offices, extensions and renovation projects.
Can plastering help before decorating?
Yes. Professional plastering creates a smooth, level surface, helping paint and wallpaper achieve a cleaner, more durable and more attractive finish.
Do you protect floors and furniture?
Yes. Floors, furniture and surrounding areas are protected before work begins, and the workspace is kept as clean and tidy as possible throughout the job.
How much does plastering cost?
The cost of plastering depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface, the preparation required and whether repairs, skimming or full replastering are needed. A free quotation can be provided after assessing the work.
Can you plaster over plasterboard?
Yes. Plasterboard can be skimmed to create a smooth finish ready for decorating. This is common in extensions, renovations, stud walls and ceiling repairs.
What is blown plaster?
Blown plaster is plaster that has lost its bond with the wall or ceiling behind it. It may sound hollow when tapped and should usually be removed or repaired before new plaster is applied.
Can damp plaster be repaired?
Damp plaster can often be repaired, but the cause of the damp must be resolved first. Plastering over damp without fixing the source can lead to further staining, failure or mould problems.
Do you work for landlords and rental properties?
Yes. Plastering repairs and room refreshes are available for landlords, rental properties and property maintenance work across Metheringham, Lincoln and nearby areas.
