replastering

Fixing cracked walls

Replastering is the process of applying a fresh layer of plaster to walls or ceilings, typically after removing damaged or deteriorated old plaster.

The work may be necessary due to cracks, water damage, or simply age.

The contractor quoted us three thousand for replastering the living room.

Replastering can refer to both interior wall surfaces and exterior stucco, as well as the resurfacing of swimming pools.
