Drywall Fixers Near Me — Brighton & Hove
Brighton and Hove's Victorian and Edwardian properties are full of period plaster — horsehair lime plaster on lath, dot-and-dab, and original cornicing — that needs specialist repair rather than a simple fill-and-paint. Common jobs we handle:
- Hairline cracks along ceiling roses and cornices in period properties
- Blown plaster (hollow-sounding patches) on Victorian terrace walls
- Holes from TV wall mounting, shelf removal, or pipe chasing
- Artex ceilings — patching, smoothing or full skim
- Water-damaged plaster after leaks in Brighton flats
- Pre-sale repairs to walls and ceilings ahead of repainting
We can combine plaster repair with painting and decorating in one visit — no need to book separately.

Frequently Asked Questions — Plaster Repairs Brighton
How much does plaster repair cost in Brighton?
Small holes (nail and screw holes) cost £10–£25 each to fill and make good. Medium holes from door handles or brackets are £40–£80. Large holes requiring a plasterboard patch are £80–£150. A full room skim coat (flattening an entire wall) is typically £300–£700 depending on size. We always provide a written quote before starting.
Can you repair cracked plaster in a Victorian property?
Yes. We work with both traditional lime plaster (common in pre-1920s Brighton terraces) and modern gypsum board. For period properties we use compatible materials so the repair blends with the original surface rather than standing out after painting.
Can you patch a hole in drywall (plasterboard) invisibly?
A well-executed plasterboard patch should be invisible after painting. We cut back to the nearest stud or use a backing board, tape and joint compound the seams, and feather the finish so there is no visible edge. The patch is then primed and ready for your decorator — or we can paint it ourselves.
Do you repair the plaster and paint, or just the plaster?
We can do both. Many customers book us to repair the plaster and repaint the wall or ceiling at the same time to save disruption. We can also leave the repair primed and ready for your own painter if you prefer.
