At Paintr®, we know that great decorating starts long before the first coat of paint goes on the wall. Smooth, well‑prepared surfaces are the foundation of every flawless finish, and that’s why our plaster repairs and skimming service in Bath is such an important part of what we do. Whether you’re dealing with cracks, dents, blown plaster, or uneven walls, we restore your surfaces with care, precision, and a finish that’s ready for beautiful decorating.
We always recommend getting in a specialist plasterer where larger areas need fixing. This gives a great finish and leaves us free to continue the project while this is being carried out.
Homes are full of character — from Georgian townhouses in Bathwick to Victorian terraces in Widcombe and modern builds in Weston Park. Each property comes with its own quirks, and many older homes have plaster that’s seen better days. Our job is to bring those walls and ceilings back to life with smooth, strong, long‑lasting repairs.
Why Plaster Repairs Matter
Even the best paint can’t hide damaged plaster. Cracks, bumps, and uneven textures show through, making the whole room look tired. Professional plaster repairs ensure your walls and ceilings look clean, modern, and perfectly finished.
Our plaster repair service helps:
- Smooth out cracks, dents, and imperfections
- Fix blown or loose plaster
- Blend old and new surfaces seamlessly
- Prepare walls for painting
- Improve the overall look and feel of your home
A flawless finish starts with flawless preparation.
Skimming for a Fresh, Modern Surface
Skimming is one of the most effective ways to transform tired walls. It involves applying a thin, smooth layer of plaster to create a fresh, even surface that looks brand new. This is especially useful in older Bath properties where walls may have textured finishes, patchy repairs, or years of wear.
Skimming is ideal for:
- Uneven or rough walls
- Old artex ceilings
- Renovation projects
- Rooms with multiple repairs
- Homes needing a clean, modern look
Once skimmed, your walls are ready for a perfect paint finish.
Our Careful, Professional Process
At Paintr®, we take plaster repairs seriously because they’re the backbone of great decorating. Our process is thorough, tidy, and designed to deliver long‑lasting results.
Here’s how we work:
- Inspecting the surface to identify cracks, blown areas, and weak spots
- Cutting out damaged plaster where necessary
- Filling and bonding to rebuild the surface
- Skimming with a smooth, even coat
- Sanding and finishing once dry for a flawless texture
- Preparing the surface for painting
We leave your walls and ceilings smooth and ready for the next stage.
