How we work
Our gyprock repair process
- 1
Cut clean
Square the hole; ragged edges show through paint forever.
- 2
Three-coat finish
Base coat with mesh, fill coat, finish coat — sanded between each.
- 3
Hand-back primed
Spot prime so the patch doesn't flash through your topcoat.
Local context
Bondi rentals and end-of-lease bonds are won and lost on gyprock patches. We do the wall-fixing visit so the bond cleaner doesn't get blamed for what was already there.
Gyprock Repair questions, answered
Will I be able to see the patch after painting?
Not in good light, no. The trick is sanding flat and feathering wide enough — at least 200mm beyond the hole.Can you match a textured ceiling?
Stipple and orange-peel textures, yes. Heavily decorative skim or fibrous plaster — see our cornice and ceiling pages.

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.
Ceiling Repairs
Water stains from bathroom leaks, sagging plaster on hot Bondi summers, popped screws across new gyprock, cracks running across an old fibrous-plaster ceiling — we diagnose, repair, and refinish.
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.
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.
