Service Breakdown
Wall & Ceiling Hole Patching
From small picture-hook holes and door handle dings to large accidental wall punches or plumber/electrician cutouts, we properly back-block, mesh-tape, compound, and patch damaged plasterboard to restore full structural integrity to your walls.
Crack Repair & Joint Plastering
Settling homes, earthquake movements, and humidity shifts often lead to unsightly cracks along plasterboard joins and ceiling corners. We rake out unstable joint compound, apply flexible reinforcement tape, and re-plaster joins for a clean, crack-free surface.
Water Damage & Ceiling Patch Repairs
Leaking roof tiles or plumbing drips can leave sagged, discoloured, or soft GIB ceiling panels. We remove water-damaged sections, replace underlying plasterboard, apply stain-blocking primers, and re-plaster seamlessly into the surrounding ceiling profile.
Interior Touch-Up & Feature Wall Painting
A GIB repair isn't finished until the paint matches seamlessly. We carefully sand repairs smooth, apply suitable sealer-binders, and paint the repaired section or entire wall using precise color-matching techniques for an invisible repair.
Repair Process Breakdown
-
Preparation & Backing: Cut back damaged GIB & install internal timber backing blocks. Ensures patches are rigid and won't flex or sink inward
-
Taping & Plastering: Apply joint tape & multi-coat plaster compound. Prevents hairline edge cracks & creates a smooth taper
-
Precision Sanding: Dust-controlled sanding flush with existing wall profile. Guarantees zero visible ridges or bumps when lit
-
Sealing & Painting: Apply pigmented sealer/primer & color-matched topcoats. Prevents plaster flashing through the paint finish
