Drywall & Plasterboard Repairs
Drywall repairs (plasterboard repairs, as we usually call them in Australia) are one of the most common jobs I do. A door handle through the wall, a hole from a removed TV bracket, a dent from moving furniture, or a section damaged by a leak: the fix is the same. Cut it back to sound board, patch it properly, set it in layers, sand it smooth and paint it so you can’t tell where the damage was.
I’m Dan, and I do every repair myself. With 35+ years in the building industry, I know the difference between a quick filler job that cracks again in six months and a proper repair that lasts. Small holes are filled and set; larger holes get a new piece of plasterboard, backing timber where needed, and paper tape on the joins.
Most drywall repairs Gold Coast clients ask for are finished in a single visit plus a return trip for the final coat and paint, because each coat of base and topping compound needs to dry properly. I’ll tell you upfront how many visits your job needs.

Plasterboard Hole & Dent Repairs
Every plasterboard repair is matched to the surrounding wall: square-set or cornice edges, smooth or textured finishes, and paint colour matched as closely as possible. If the wall needs a full coat to look even, I’ll tell you before I start.

I contacted Surve after reading the positive reviews. We required a quick turnaround on various jobs at an empty investment property. Dan and Sue went out of their way to accommodate such a late notice request even working weekends to fit us in. Their communication was great, the itemised invoice and photos were very beneficial as we don't live close by and rely heavily on communication, photos and a professional operator. Highly recommended.Posted on Google![]()

Dan was the best. Not only was his work top quality, he communicated everything clearly and was a joy to have in the house. Sue was also great with prompt responses and booking queries. I can't recommend Surve Property Maintenance highly enough. They will be the first to call next time I need something.Posted on Google![]()

Common Questions
How much do drywall repairs cost on the Gold Coast?
Most small plasterboard repairs are charged on time. See our pricing and FAQ, or send photos for a free quote and I’ll give you a clear price within one business day.
Can you fix a hole from a door handle?
Yes. Door-handle holes are one of the most common repairs I do. I cut back the damaged board, patch with new plasterboard, set, sand and paint. A door stop is a good idea afterwards so it doesn’t happen again.
Will I be able to see the patch?
A properly set and sanded patch should be invisible once painted. Older or sun-faded paint can show a slight colour difference, so I may suggest painting the whole wall to corners for a perfect match.
How long does a plasterboard repair take?
Small repairs usually need two short visits, because each coat of compound must dry before sanding and painting. Larger repairs may need one more coat.
Do you repair drywall in rental properties?
Yes. I work with landlords and property managers, and send photos when the job is done. See also end-of-lease patch and paint.
