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.

For an accurate quote tailored to your needs, post your job on Rated People to connect with local plasterboard repair experts.

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.

Arnie was a great builder to work with throughout the kitchen and bathroom renovation. He did an excellent job, took the time to understand exactly what we wanted to achieve and had great attention to detail and worked with us to ensure we could stay within budget. It was our first time renovating a property and Arnie was incredibly helpful and reliable. I would definitely recommend working with him.

John at Quebuild went above and beyond for us on this job. He completed all the work in a timely manner and for a very reasonable price. He was super knowledgeable and extremely attentive to detail, making sure to leave a high quality finish in terms of decoration - and he came back afterwards to address a few small things that needed doing. He was also a pleasure to have around - and I would highly recommend him for any other work. 10/10.
