Cracked, stained or sagging ceiling?
Ceiling Repairs Sydney
Ceilings take a beating — roof leaks, upstairs bathrooms, downlight changes, roof-space trades and settling all leave their mark. We repair plasterboard ceilings and cornices across Sydney, from a single hole to a damaged section that needs replacing.
Can you repair a damaged ceiling?
Yes. Sydney Plastering Service repairs damaged plasterboard ceilings, including cracks, holes, popped screws, water stains, sagging sections and damaged cornice. Smaller damage is repaired in place; badly damaged, sagging or water-affected sections are cut out and replaced with new plasterboard, then set and sanded ready for painting.
What's included
Ceiling Repairs: what we do
- Ceiling cracks along joints and cornices
- Holes from old light fittings, fans, smoke alarms or roof-space trades
- Sagging or drooping ceiling sections
- Water-stained and water-damaged ceilings
- Popped nails and screws
- Cornice repairs and replacement
- Closing up or relocating downlight and fan holes
Clean, low-dust finish: we sand with a vacuum sander connected to a dust extractor, so most of the dust is captured at the source. How our dust-free sanding works
Sagging ceilings
A ceiling can sag because of water, loose or failed fixings, or older adhesive giving way. A small sagging section can often be re-fixed or replaced. If a ceiling is dropping noticeably or cracking quickly, keep people out from underneath it and get it looked at promptly. Send us a photo and we'll tell you how urgent it looks.
Cracks in the ceiling
Most ceiling cracks run along plasterboard joints or where the ceiling meets the cornice. They're usually caused by movement. We cut them out, re-fix where needed, re-tape and set so the repair holds up better than a quick fill.
Holes after trades
Old exhaust fans, moved downlights, removed smoke alarms and roof-space work by other trades often leave holes and rough cut-outs. We close them up with new board and set them flush with the ceiling.

Ceiling Repairs across Sydney
Based in Ryde, we do ceiling repairs for homeowners, landlords, property managers and strata across Sydney, including:
Can you repair a damaged ceiling?
Yes. We repair cracks, holes, sagging sections, water damage, popped screws and cornice on plasterboard ceilings across Sydney.
Is a sagging ceiling dangerous?
It can be. If a ceiling is visibly dropping, cracking quickly or holding water, keep people out from underneath it and get it assessed promptly. Send us a photo straight away.
Can you repair just part of a ceiling?
Yes. Most of our ceiling work is repairing or replacing a section, not the whole ceiling.
Can you fix ceiling cracks so they don't come back?
We cut out the crack, re-fix the board, re-tape and set the joint. That gives the repair the best chance of lasting, though ongoing structural movement can still cause cracking over time.
Do you replace cornice?
Yes, we repair and replace cornice. Send a photo of the profile so we can check what's available.
