Is Cheap Plastering Worth It?

While a low quote might be tempting, “cheap” plastering can often lead to expensive problems later on.

The Risks of Low-Cost Labour

• Poor Finish: Visible joint lines, ripples, or rough patches that show through paint.
• Lack of Durability: If materials are mixed incorrectly or layers are too thin, the plaster may crack or peel.
• No Preparation: Cheap quotes often skip vital steps like bonding primers or mesh tape for cracks.

Ultimately, correcting a bad plastering job often costs more than hiring a professional in the first place. For more on how to spot a fair price, see Why Plastering Quotes Vary So Much.
