Plaster & Preparation by Modernize Solutions in Melbourne

Modernize Solutions Serving Braybrook and the West

The reactive clay soil under the western suburbs is why so many homes here crack in the same two places, above the doorways and along the cornice. Older Footscray and Seddon cottages have lath and plaster that needs raking out and building back in coats. The Braybrook and Sunshine brick veneers are plasterboard, where the repair is nearly always a failed joint rather than the sheet itself. We are Melbourne house painters based in Braybrook, family owned and working across the west since 1987.

Plaster Repair questions

Plaster wall and ceiling repair before painting

Most callbacks we see on other people's work are preparation, not paint. A patch that was filled but never sealed drinks the topcoat and dries duller than the wall around it, which is the flashing you notice a week later from the side.

Do you do plaster repair in Braybrook and nearby suburbs?

Yes, every week, across Braybrook, Newport and the rest of the western suburbs, and it is included in every painting quote rather than charged as an extra.

What is caulking and why do I need it?

Caulking fills the small gaps between walls and trim, skirtings, architraves and cornices. Without caulking, these gaps create shadow lines and allow moisture in. A caulked edge gives a clean, sealed finish that looks professional.

Can you fix large holes and water-damaged plaster?

Yes. We repair everything from small nail holes to large sections of water-damaged plaster. We cut out the damaged area, patch with new plaster, skim coat and sand it back flat.
