Plaster crack repair in Bondi
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.
What's included
- ✓Raking out and reinforcing wall and ceiling cracks
- ✓Mesh tape and flexible compound for joints that move
- ✓Three-coat finish, sanded flat, primed
How we work
Our plaster crack repair process
- 1
Rake the crack open
Filling without raking is why cracks come back.
- 2
Mesh and fill
Mesh tape across the crack, three coats of compound.
- 3
Prime and hand back
Spot-primed, ready for topcoat.
Local context
Bondi terraces shift seasonally — cracks open in winter and close in summer. Standard fillers don't survive that. We use the same flexible compounds heritage restoration specialists use.
Plaster Crack Repair questions, answered
Why does the same crack keep opening?
Because it's a movement joint, not a static crack. Standard filler can't flex with it; mesh tape and flexible compound can.How wide is too wide to repair?
Cracks over 5–10mm or with displaced edges may indicate structural issues — we'll flag if we see one and recommend an engineer.
