Plastering Day Rates Explained

Many smaller projects, such as repairs or single-wall skimming, are priced on a daily rate rather than a fixed project fee.

Average Day Rates in the UK

Typical rates range from £150 to £300 per day. In London and the South East, this often increases to £250–£350 per day. These rates usually cover labour only; materials like plaster and beads are often extra.

Why Choose a Day Rate?

Day rates offer flexibility when the scope of work is uncertain, such as when repairing damaged plaster where underlying issues might be discovered mid-job. To understand why these prices can fluctuate, see our article on why plastering quotes vary.
