"I am totally disappointed with this Company. They were like a different company, from our first encounter with them, making false promises to show up at certain times and then not showing up. Only doing a fair job on the stain where I had to go around and touch up in numerous areas even after they came back to do touch ups and don?t get me started on their lack of prompt communication. Communication back from the owner only happened when I got frustrated enough to get real with my emails and say how I was feeling. It was like pulling teeth to get this project done but it would have gone more smoothly had they started when they initially said they would until they got a bigger job that was more important. We are hiring a new company to re stain our deck. "

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

You can apply plaster over plaster, but before you do, check the stability of the existing plaster. If it’s been there for a while, it may require a base coat of PVA emulsion. This will make the existing plaster less porous and ensure the new and old plaster adhere properly.

With its breathability and flexibility, lime plaster is among the most durable of all plaster types. It's also fire-resistant and has a proven track record, as people have been using it for thousands of years.

However, all plaster types will last for many years with the right care and treatment. Proper preparation and installation will also help ensure your plaster walls look great for as long as possible.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

Repairs typically take 2-4 hours for small areas. Larger or more complex repairs may require additional time.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.
