If you’ve got a wall that’s cracked, dented, or just seen better days, you might be wondering – do I need to call both a plasterer and a painter?
For Christchurch homes, the good news is: not always. In many cases, one team, like ours, can handle both wall repair and painting. It’s simpler, often quicker, and usually a lot less hassle.
What kind of wall repairs can painters do?
It depends on the size and type of damage, but here’s what we’re usually able to sort out ourselves:
-
Small to medium cracks in plaster or GIB
-
Holes from door handles, picture hooks, or the occasional indoor cricket mishap
-
Skimming over patched areas for a smooth finish
-
Minor water damage (once the source has been fixed)
We’re not full-time plasterers, but we’ve got the tools and know-how to deal with common surface problems and get the wall looking good again – ready for painting.
When do you need a separate plasterer or builder?
If the damage is structural, covers a large area, or needs a full re-sheeting job, then yes – that’s where a specialised trade comes in. We’re happy to let you know when that’s the case, and even recommend someone if you need.
But for most cracks and cosmetic issues, we can take care of it as part of the painting prep.
Why it’s easier to use one team for both
When you use one company for both repair and painting, there are a few clear benefits:
-
No waiting around for two different trades to fit you in
-
A consistent finish, with everything colour-matched and seamless
-
Less disruption in your home
-
One clear quote and one point of contact
Our team is used to juggling both parts of the job, so the end result is tidy, smooth, and built to last.
