Small Plastering Jobs Sydney
Not every plastering job needs a big contractor. Sydney Plastering Service specialises in the smaller plastering and gyprock work that a lot of larger companies don't want to quote — a few holes in a wall, a cracked ceiling, a patch of water-damaged plasterboard or a small custom job. You get an experienced, second-generation plasterer who actually wants the work, and who'll do it properly.

Why small plastering jobs are hard to get done
Most plastering companies are set up for new builds, extensions and fit-outs. A hole behind a door or a patch where an old light used to be doesn't fit their schedule, so the call never gets returned or the quote comes back with a big minimum charge.
We built Sydney Plastering Service the other way around. Small repairs and small jobs are the core of the business, so they get planned, quoted and finished properly.
What a small plastering repair involves
A good repair is more than filler. Depending on the damage, we cut the area back to sound plasterboard, add backing or a new piece of board, fix it off, then apply base and top coats of setting compound. Then we wait for the top coat to dry and come back the next day to sand it off with our vacuum sanding machine.
Who we help
We regularly help homeowners fixing up a room, landlords and property managers getting a property ready between tenants, strata managers dealing with damage in units and common areas, and small businesses that need a wall or ceiling repaired without fuss.
Getting a price for a small job
Every small job is different, so we don't publish a price list. The cost depends on the size and number of repairs, access, whether board needs replacing and how many visits are needed for setting coats. The fastest way to an accurate quote is to send us photos with something in the frame for scale and tell us your suburb.

We actually want the small job
Small repairs are what we do every week — you won't be pushed to the bottom of a list behind a big build.
Proper preparation
Each repair is cut back, fixed, set and feathered out so it blends with the surrounding surface — not just filled and forgotten.
Clean, respectful work
We protect floors and furniture, use dust extraction when sanding and leave the area tidy.

Send a few phone photos and we can often understand the job before we ring you back.

“Michael was fantastic from start to finish! He arrived right on time, and was incredibly friendly throughout. He clearly explained the job before getting started and then walked us through everything again after it was done. The quality of his work is excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Very professional, reliable, and highly recommended!”
