How we work
Our ceiling repairs process
- 1
Find the cause
Water stains mean a leak — we won't paint over without confirming the leak is fixed.
- 2
Refix or replace
Sagging sheets refixed; severely damaged sheets replaced.
- 3
Stain-blocking prime
Oil-based stain block — water marks bleed through standard primer.
Local context
Bondi top-floor apartments cop the heat — ceiling sheets sag with summer thermal cycling. Older terraces have fibrous-plaster ceilings that crack as the building moves.
Ceiling Repairs questions, answered
Will the stain come back after painting?
Not if we use proper stain-blocking primer and the source leak has been fixed. Standard acrylic primer alone won't hold.My ceiling is sagging in the middle of the room. Is that dangerous?
Possibly — we'll inspect first and refix or replace before refinishing.

Gyprock Repair
Doorknob holes, furniture damage, plumbing-access cuts, and the inevitable removalist gouge — we patch gyprock invisibly. Three coats of compound, sanded flat, primed, ready for paint or handed back paint-ready for your decorator.
Plaster Crack Repair
Cracks in Bondi walls and ceilings come from two places — building movement and bad joints. We rake out, reinforce with mesh tape and flexible filler, and finish so the crack doesn't reopen at the next seasonal shift.
Cornice Repair & Installation
Cracked cornices in heritage Bondi homes, sagging cornice along ceiling edges, missing sections after plumbing work — we repair, replace, and install new cornice in any standard profile.
Interior Painting
We paint Bondi homes the way the trim work should be done — full prep, gap-fill, sand, prime, two topcoats. Drop sheets on every floor, daily clean-down, low-VOC paints so you can sleep in the room the same night.
