What is dry lining/plasterboard?
Drylining refers to the process of attaching plasterboard to a wall or ceiling to create a smooth surface for decorating. Unlike traditional wet plastering, drylining is faster and less labor-intensive, making it a popular choice for modern construction and renovations. Plasterboard is a key component of drylining and is used for creating interior walls, ceilings, and partitions. It’s versatile, easy to work with, and can be repaired quickly if damaged.
Cost of plasterboard repair
The cost of plasterboard repair depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the affected area:
- Small Repairs: Fixing minor holes or cracks typically costs between £50 and £150, depending on the complexity.
- Medium Repairs: Patching larger sections of damaged plasterboard or repairing a wall can cost £150 to £300.
- Full Wall Repairs: Replacing and re-finishing an entire plasterboard wall may range from £300 to £600, including materials and labor.

How long does it take to fix drylining/plasterboard?
The time required to repair plasterboard depends on the size and type of damage:
- Small Holes or Cracks: These can typically be repaired within 1-2 hours.
- Larger Holes or Wall Sections: Medium-sized repairs may take 3-4 hours, including drying time for the filler or compound.
- Full Wall Replacement: Replacing a full plasterboard wall and finishing it may take 1-2 days, depending on the size and whether multiple layers are required.
Other drylining & plasterboard repair FAQs
Can I fix a plasterboard wall myself?
Small holes or cracks can be patched with DIY kits, but for larger repairs or structural damage, hiring a professional ensures a smooth and durable finish.
What tools are used for plasterboard repair?
Common tools include a utility knife, plasterboard screws, jointing tape, filler, and a sanding block. Professionals use these along with specialized tools like a taping knife or drywall sander.
How do you fix a hole in plasterboard?
Repairing a hole involves cutting out the damaged section, inserting a plasterboard patch, securing it with screws, applying joint tape, and finishing with filler and sanding for a seamless look.

I have good prices and my prime trade is plastering
Serjan skimmed and plastered a difficult bedroom ceiling in my Victorian house, which I am renovating. I highly recommend serjan He responded to my request for a quote very quickly on a weekend, quoted the next day and then had completed the job all within a week. Serjan was highly professional and respectful whilst working (the whole family was home). This is not the first plastering I have had done, but I can see that he is highly skilled in plastering. A five star review is well-deserved.

HEX360 was founded in 2015 by Craig Lewis with the solid foundation that a degree in construction management provides. Before launching HEX360, Craig’s former life saw him working at Princess Yachts, where he founded his skills and acquired his particular attention to detail – but if you’ve reached this page, you probably aren’t interested in hearing Craig’s life story… you’re really interested in finding out what makes HEX360 different to all the other construction companies out there. So read on and discover our difference. Working with most construction companies can feel a bit like finding your way in the dark – you just don’t know where to go to get the information you need. The stereotypical construction company that makes matters so confusing and complicated that everything they say goes over your head is, unfortunately, not just a myth. They’re out there, and they’re confusing clients as we speak. So, it’s no wonder that so many people put off their project or come to a grinding halt partway through – after all, it can all feel just too overwhelming. Luckily, HEX360 is here to change your perceptions and prove that not all construction companies are the same. We’re dedicated to working with you, not for you, and that means taking a collaborative approach right from the get-go. With our 8-step process, we’ll clearly outline every stage of your project so you won’t feel overwhelmed, and thanks to our use of in-house project management software, you’ll have complete transparency for every aspect of your project. We are committed to flexibility, accessibility, and approachability so your project can run smoothly, whether you’re updating your kitchen, renovating or extending your entire home or developing a large commercial property. You’re more than a number on a spreadsheet to us, and we never bite off more than we can chew. Our attention and efforts are solely dedicated towards you and your project during your time with us. Unlike with some construction companies, once we begin work on your project we don’t simply move on to our next. We provide industry leading account management during the full life cycle of the project, meaning you aren’t forgotten about once you sign on the dotted line.

Absolutely brilliant job. Can’t recommend them enough. Gave me a fair quote then when they pulled the shower out there was a lot of water damage but only charged a little bit more and not only that they fixed a lot of little things in my flat at no extra cost. They were quick and clean. Tidied everything up and left the place spotless. I will definitely use them again in a heartbeat.
