Preparing Your Walls for Paint
A wall that's cracked, dented or uneven won't take a good coat of paint, no matter how careful the painting itself is. At Hunter Paint and Decoration, we offer plastering in Newcastle to prepare walls for painting, patching holes, repairing minor damage and smoothing surfaces so they're ready for a proper finish. This service pairs naturally with our residential painting work, since preparation and painting often happen as part of the same project. We check every surface carefully before starting, as even small imperfections tend to show through once paint is applied. Call 0470 624 799 to arrange a free quote for your plastering project.
What's included
Our plastering service is focused on wall preparation ahead of painting, not standalone plastering work. Here's what's included:
Patching holes & repairing minor wall damage.
This covers everything from nail holes to small dents.
Smoothing uneven surfaces before painting.
A flat, even wall gives a better finish overall.
Preparation of new plaster & gyprock ready for paint.
We check surfaces are dry & sound before starting.
Cleaning & priming surfaces where needed.
This helps the paint adhere properly & last.
Common questions
Plastering FAQs
Common repairs include patching nail holes, small dents, minor cracks and areas where old plaster has chipped away. Larger structural damage may need a separate assessment.
Simple patching can often be done in a day, while more involved repairs may need extra time to dry before painting begins. Weather and the size of the area both affect timing.
Most walls benefit from some level of preparation, even if it's just cleaning and minor patching, since this affects how smooth and long-lasting the final paint finish is. The amount of preparation needed depends on the current condition of the wall.
