Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between plastering and gyprock repairs?
Gyprock (also known as drywall) refers to pre-manufactured wall sheets, while plastering is the process of applying compound to cover joins, repair damage, or smooth a surface. In repairs, these services often overlap—especially when patching holes, filling gaps, or creating a seamless base for paint.
How long does it take for gyprock repairs to dry?
Drying time depends on the depth of the repair and the type of compound used. Standard joint compound usually takes 24 hours between coats, and final sanding must be done only once fully cured. In humid conditions, it may take slightly longer.
Can I paint over plaster the same day it’s applied?
No. Fresh plaster or patched gyprock needs to dry completely and be primed before painting. Painting too soon can trap moisture, leading to blistering or poor adhesion. Always wait until the surface is fully dry and properly sealed.

Prep that Lasts
Even the best paint can't hide poor surface prep—which is why our plastering and gyprock services are designed to set the foundation for long-term durability. We repair internal walls and ceilings in homes, offices, retail spaces, and more, always prioritising clean finishes, proper adhesion, and minimal disruption. Whether you're renovating, repairing after damage, or preparing for a fresh colour scheme, our work ensures your surfaces are flat, blemish-free, and professionally finished.
We work with care and efficiency, cleaning up thoroughly and respecting your space throughout the job. Our services are ideal for new builds, touch-ups after electrical or plumbing works, or restoring rental properties between tenants. Don’t risk painting over damaged or uneven surfaces—ensure lasting results with proper preparation and expert workmanship.
