How to Repair Plaster

plaster repair patch

Wondering how to patch large holes in plaster walls? Or simply how to repair cracks in plaster walls? Well fret no more. Our handy article will teach you everything you need to know and explain exactly how to repair plaster walls!

Here at Gypsumtools, we know how important it is that a job gets done well, and we understand how frustrating it is when you’re confronted with poorly plastered masonry and asked to patch it up. That’s why we thought we’d give you our guide to how to repair plaster. With these tips in mind, you should be able to fix a bad job and maintain that high standard clients have come to expect in no time at all.

 

Fix a bad plastering job

 

  • Preparation is key

 

Start by using a hammer and chisel to remove all the loose material around the area needed to be patched up making sure you undercut the edges. A wirebrush can also be used to completely clear the area.

 

  • Get a Good Mix

 

Mix the plaster roughly to a 50/50 ratio. Start with a half bucket full of water and add the plaster to that according to the ratio. Mix thoroughly with a clean stick until the plaster is thick, relatively smooth and has no lumps. Then turn the mixture onto a hawk.

repair cracks in plaster walls

 

  • Filling the Patch with Plaster

 

Ensure the area needed to be patched is dampened. Next, use a plastering trowel to transfer a decent amount of mixture onto a hawk board.
Once you’ve got it onto your hawk board stand close to the patch and in one continuous motion scrape half the plaster onto the trowel. Then, hold the trowel with the angle slightly towards the wall and press the mixture onto the area you want to patch up. Press this mixture into the patch and gradually flatten it.

Bear in mind, you don’t want to have a trowel that’s completely flat against the wall. This will cause you to pull plaster off the wall rather than onto it.

Until the patch is filled to the point it overflows slightly you will want to keep repeating this procedure. It’s important not to overwork the plaster as that then weakens it and makes it fall off.

 

  • Skimming

 

After covering the surface, go over it again to smooth it to an even level. The trowel should be held at slight angle and so only one of the edges touches the plaster at one time.

After the plaster starts to set at around the 45 minute mark go over it again with a damp trowel for a more polished finish.

 

  • How to Patch Plaster Wall Holes – Deeper hole filling

 

You may have to put on two layers of plaster if the patch is deep. To do this, apply the first coat to half the depth of the patch and when it is only half set, scratch up the surface and leave it to set without it completely drying out. Apply a second coat to rule it off and when it is set, skim coat it to finish.

Expert Plastering Tips

expert plastering

Here, at Gypsumtools, we know that many of you are looking to perfect your plastering finishing technique. That’s why we’ve put together some expert plastering tips to help you out. With these in mind, you will be professionally finishing a wall every time.

expert plastering tips

Our top tips

  • Our first tip that any plasterer worth their money will tell you, is any surface waiting to be plastered needs to be clean and any previous bits of wallpaper need to be removed to ensure a secure, smooth finish.

  •  

  • It’s vitally important you check out and then appropriately manage the suction of the wall as it can make all the difference between the right result and a poor finish.

  •  

  • Exceptionally porous masonry will cause the plaster to dry out too fast, which can lead to potential issues with the finish as you probably won’t have time to flatten out. If this is the case, wet the wall before you start to safeguard against the plaster falling away.

  •  

  • Low suction walls won’t suck the water particles out the plaster very quickly meaning the use of a bonding agent is required such as PVA diluted with a bit of water. Sand can also be added to the mixture to give added adhesion. The exact mix varies from plasterer to plasterer but 4:1 is a general rule of thumb.

  •  

  • Apply two coats of backing mixture and ensure it is flat. The skim finish can be smooth, but the backing mixture needs to be flat for this to happen.

  •  

  • Ensuring your surface is ready to be plastered; plaster won’t stick to just any surface and you don’t want it to start falling away.

  •  

  • We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again, “keep everything clean”! It makes all the difference as you don’t want your plaster to go off due to dirty buckets, trowels etc.

 

Plastering tips for the skim coat

As a general rule of thumb, there are six stages to applying the skim coat.

  • start with an even layer / coating of around 2mm.
  •  

  • When this coat has gone ‘tacky’, or when you cannot remove the whole covering with your hand, just a little bit, then run your trowel over flattening all the ridges and bumps that stick out over the original 1-2mm.
  •  

  • Next, apply a second coat of as close to 1mm as possible.
  •  

  • After that’s applied, trowel it so it’s nice and smooth and when ‘tacky’ go over every hole/dent and to get it as smooth as you can.
  •  

  • Leave it for a while and as the plaster starts to harden most of the ridges/trowel marks will even out on their own.
  •  

  • If there’s any issues such as blistering as the plaster drys they should sort themselves out.
  •

Dry lining and Rising Damp

drywall mold

We often get asked about dry lining a wall where rising damp has previously been treated with a damp proof course. The relationship between dry lining and rising damp is one to be carefully considered, as salts dragged up from the ground become present in the masonry and plaster. These salts increase the ability of the wall to absorb water, which can be worsened by other effects such as condensation and humidity.

The below information may help answer some common questions around this:

drywall mold

THE ISSUE OF DAMPM

The issue of damp is a complex one. When completing dry lining, you may regularly find a damp proof course has been used to treat damp. Damp exists in buildings when moisture enters the structure; predominantly through humidity / condensation, rain penetration and rising damp, and can lead to masonry or plaster smelling.

HUMIDITY AND CONDENSATION

Humidity and condensation is borne out of a lack of ventilation within a property, resulting in water vapour becoming trapped within porous walls, known as interstitial condensation. This can usually be spotted through steamed up windows. If condensation and humidity is causing walls to look damp, a dehumidifier should be installed to combat the problem.

RAIN PENETRATION

Rain penetration occurs most often in single-skin walls. It can also happen in cavity walls, too, through the process of tracking across wall ties, so keep an eye out. Brickwork with cracked pointing, and any exposed porous stones and bricks can all lead to issues. A simple re-pointing of the external walls can fix this.

RISING DAMP

Indoor moisture commonly starts at the base of walls, potentially from defective ground and surface drainage, however this can also be caused by heightening ground levels and the failure of ground drainage systems. Leaks and flooding from defective drainage and plumbing are also sources of moisture occurring on the base of walls in buildings.

When confronted with the issue of having to dry line a previously damp wall, after a damp proof course has been used to treat damp, double check the masonry to make sure the damp proof course is doing its job. After this, you can use our Gyproc plasterboard along with our Thistle Multi Finish plaster to ensure a good finish.

Frame Fixings vs Hammer Fixings: The Pros and Cons.

Are you unsure of the difference between frame fixings vs hammer fixings#? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! To begin with though, let us remind you of the benefits of through fixing more generally. The biggest and most important reason for through fixing is that removes any worry of damaging the chosen surface. Plus, it removes the need for marking and re-positioning.

Hammer fixings are specifically designed to have the screw hammered in. The threads share some similarities with one way valves, they fold over when the fixing is hammered in but spring back when the trough is detected in the thread. The minor screw on them is only on there to aid removal.

The positives are that it’s quicker to fit as hammering is a lot quicker than screwing in, and there’s no damage done to the thread. No screwdriver is needed either and when you’re onsite this is always a bonus. The cons are that they are more widely seen as

Frame fixings are more heavy duty and often used for attaching uPVC, wood and metal frames to wood or PVC masonry. There seen as a relatively stress free spacer assembly screw for wood metal and plastic window frames.

How to spot a Frame fixing

Always wanted to know how to spot a frame fixing? Well here’s the answer! A through fixed frame can usually be identified, as the head of the fastening will usually be visible on the surface of the frame. This is often referred to as the visible fixing. Otherwise, you can’t spot a frame fixing as the head of the fastening is hidden behind a strip which is set into the face of the frame section. This is known as concealed fixing.

Save yourself some hassle with Plasterspot!

row of plasterspot packets

plasterspot logo

Drilling errors can be costly, time consuming and downright frustrating, especially when you have a brand new beautifully plastered wall. Problem is, if you or your client are looking to have lighting installed in your new room, it can be tricky knowing exactly where hidden cables, pipes and joists are before you make the hole in the plasterwork.

The popularity of down lighting in homes and businesses is growing massively year on year, due to the energy savings and long life of the bulbs, not to mention the attractive look that they offer.

However, the down lighting needs to be carefully positioned to suit the layout of a room. And, with up to 60 being common in the home and even more in commercial businesses, the likelihood of hitting a water pipe or electrical cable can be an absolute nightmare. This is where you can save yourself some hassle with Plasterspot!

Plaster using plasterspot

Get rid of the guesswork

Traditionally finding the original positioning of ceiling joints, water and electrical feeds caused great difficulty for tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts once a wall had been plastered. It involved a lot of luck and the only way to have any indication of where it was ok to drill was through using very technical and time consuming drawings to get the lights or sockets in the right place.

With new versions of downlighting hitting the market, the positioning of them has become increasingly complex and the distribution even more unusual. Over the years these developments have made the tradesman’s job even harder, when it comes to installing ceiling spotlights, wall sockets, switches or smoke detectors.

However, the good news is that an innovative and extremely useful new device has hit the market to tackle these problems, which will enable tradesmen to get rid of the guess work.

Brand new product

Plasterspot is a brand new product which aims to make life easier for anyone looking to drill holes in a newly plastered wall. It’s simple really. Before the wall is plastered, the plasterer can peel off and stick the spot onto the surface to indicate where it is ok to drill a hole for your downlighting or socket. Once the surface has then been plastered over the top of the spot, it bleeds through as the plaster dries leaving a well defined spot.

It’s a really useful piece of kit to have in your bag as it has many uses for both the electrical trade and even the plumbing trade, when it comes to positioning for radiators, pipework, bathroom sinks and unsupported toilets.
