What Plastering Jobs We Handle

We specialise in residential plastering across inner-east and northern Melbourne — it’s one of the most-requested jobs across our handyman services. The jobs we do most:

PATCH REPAIRS — small to medium holes in walls or ceilings, whether from an accident, a doorknob, or a picture hook gone wrong.

POST PLUMBER CLEANUP — when a plumber or electrician has opened up a wall or ceiling to get to pipes or cables, we come in and make it disappear. One call, one team, no chasing a second tradie.

WALL REPAIRS — cracks, dents, impact damage, and water marks that have dried out and need replastering before repainting.

PLASTERBOARD REPAIRS — cut-outs and patch installs in plasterboard walls and ceilings, common in Melbourne apartments and newer builds.

PRE PAINTING PREPARATION — if you’re repainting a room and the walls aren’t flat, we prepare the surface properly so the paint finish is clean.

We work in houses, apartments, and terrace homes across South Yarra, Toorak, Malvern, Prahran, Armadale, Brighton, Fitzroy, and surrounds.

The Finish That’s Worth Talking About

The standard on a patch repair is to fill the hole, sand it back, and call it done. The problem: once it’s painted, you can still see it. A slight ridge, a texture mismatch, a dull patch under the light.

Our team works to a mirror finish. That means the repaired area is skimmed and feathered to match the surrounding wall before anything goes near a paintbrush. When it’s painted, you can’t find it.

Because we also paint, we match the sheen, the texture, and the colour — and we do it in the same visit. You’re not waiting for a second tradie, and you’re not coordinating two different schedules.

What Our Customers Say

“Had a great result with Hunter and Geoff. Patching up holes in the wall due to sockets being moved and then repainting the walls. Most importantly the areas were left very clean and tidy.”

“Hunter, Ben and Rodney did a very good job with home renovations, including plastering, repairs and painting. Hunter also identified and investigated unexpected issues with the house that required immediate attention, as well as make good recommendations as to how to proceed. He was flexible with changing circumstances — friendly, knowledgeable and very hardworking.”

“4P Collective were professional and extremely helpful. Had them come out to patch and paint over a hole in the wall. Ben was polite and completed the job effectively — would highly recommend to anyone who needs around the house repairs or more.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does plastering cost in Melbourne?
Patch repairs typically range from $150–$400 depending on the size of the damage and whether painting is included. Larger wall repairs or full replasters are quoted individually. We give you a fixed price upfront — no surprises.

Do you paint after you plaster?
Yes. Our team handles both. Once the plaster is dry and sanded to a mirror finish, we prime and paint to match the existing wall. You get one visit, not two.

How long does a patch repair take?
Most residential patch jobs take 1–3 hours. Larger repairs may need a second visit for a second coat. We’ll tell you upfront.

Can you match the existing wall texture and colour?
Yes. Texture matching is part of our process — not an extra. For colour, we work from the existing paint or can colour-match on-site.

Do you work in apartments?
Yes. We do a significant amount of work in apartments and strata buildings across inner-east Melbourne — South Yarra, Toorak, Prahran, Malvern and surrounds. We’re familiar with body corporate requirements and work quietly and cleanly.

What areas of Melbourne do you service?
Inner-east suburbs including South Yarra, Toorak, Malvern, Prahran, Armadale, Brighton, and Kooyong — plus northern suburbs including Fitzroy, Northcote, Brunswick, Coburg, Fawkner, and Tullamarine.

Do you fix the damage a plumber left in my wall?
Yes — this is one of the most common jobs we do. Plumbers often need to open walls or ceilings to access pipes. Once they’re done, we come in and restore the surface. We work directly with homeowners, property managers and real estate agents.
