Plaster Wall Crack Repairs

Most cracks in plaster walls are cosmetic. Houses move a little with the seasons, timber frames dry out, and set joins that weren’t taped properly start to show. The usual “fix” is a smear of filler, and the crack is back within months. I repair cracks properly: rake out the crack, tape it where needed, set it in layers, sand smooth and paint, so the repair moves with the wall instead of splitting again.

I’m Dan, and I do every repair myself, with 35+ years in the building industry. I’ll also tell you honestly if a crack looks like more than a cosmetic problem.

When to get it checked first: cracks wider than a few millimetres, stepped cracks in brickwork, cracks that keep growing, or doors and windows that suddenly stick can be signs of structural movement. These should be assessed by a building inspector or engineer before any cosmetic repair.

Cracked Plasterboard & Cornice Repairs

Common wall crack repairs include cracks running from the corners of doors and windows, cracks along plasterboard joins, gaps where the cornice has pulled away from the wall or ceiling, and cracked rendered or set plaster in older homes. Every repair is finished and painted to blend into the surrounding wall.

Dan and Sue have been exceptional in helping us tear down our old pool motor shed and constructing a new one. Dan has been more than kind, patient and informative throughout the job. Both are very easy to communicate with and accommodating. Once again so appreciative of your amazing work, thank you!

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.

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.

Common Questions

Most hairline cracks in plasterboard are cosmetic and come from normal house movement. Wide, stepped or growing cracks, or doors and windows that start to stick, should be checked by a building inspector or engineer before repair.

Filler on its own is rigid and doesn’t move with the wall. A proper repair rakes out the crack, uses tape where needed and sets it in layers, so it is far less likely to reappear.

Yes. These are common where the frame moves slightly. I re-set the joint with tape and compound, then sand and paint.

Yes. I fill and re-set gaps where the cornice meets the wall or ceiling, and re-fix loose sections.

It depends on the number and length of cracks. See our pricing and FAQ, or send photos for a free quote.
