You want do try your next plastering job yourself?

Here's a few tips to help you along.

  • Plaster won’t stick to just any surface and you don’t want it to start falling away, so ensure your surface is ready to be plastered.


  • Make sure it is clean – remove bits of existing plaster, dust or wallpaper.


  • Check the suction of your wall.


  • High suction porous backgrounds can suck the moisture from the plaster meaning it dries too quick – so you may need to wet the wall before you start.



  • When wetting your walls use a fine mist spray gun to avoid having to keep reaching down to re-wet your brush.


  • Once the water starts running down the wall, you know you’ve controlled the suction.


  • Low suction backgrounds, such as painted surfaces will also need to be properly prepared.


  • While plasterboard or backing coat can be skimmed over without preparation – existing plaster or previously painted surfaces will need treating with a bonding agent, such as a mix of PVA glue and water to ensure the plaster sticks to the wall.


  • You could also try adding a handful of sand to the PVA mixture to give it a rougher texture and better adhesion.



  • Clean as you go along – it may sound over the top but it’s vital to have clean buckets, tools and equipment to ensure your plaster doesn’t go off and you get a better finish that lasts.

  • Can a beginner plaster a wall?

    Plastering is most definitely a skill, so you should understand that before you begin. Any skill can be learnt, but it's going to take you a bit of time and a bit of practise. With a bit of time, learning and careful work, you can definitely tackle your next DIY plastering job! 

  • How do you fix bad plastering?

    Repairing holes and crumbled plaster requires removing the damage and patching empty spaces. Scrape or brush off loose plaster to reveal the lath underneath.
