Σχετικά με την υπηρεσία
Plaster is the foundation of every good paint finish. Most Cyprus homes are built with a concrete frame and clay or concrete blocks, finished with cement-based or gypsum plaster. Over time that surface takes hits: hairline cracks from settlement and temperature swings, holes from old fixings, chipped corners, and patches where damp has made the plaster crumble or come away from the wall.
Plaster works range from small repairs to complete resurfacing. A skilled plasterer can patch a damaged area so it blends with the surrounding wall, skim an entire room for a glass-smooth finish, or apply fresh render and plaster to new partition walls and extensions. Getting the surface right before decorating saves money and frustration later.
Types of plastering work
- Patch repairs: filling holes, chases left by electricians and plumbers, and damaged sections.
- Crack repairs: opening up and filling cracks, with mesh reinforcement where movement is likely.
- Skimming: a thin finishing coat over existing walls or ceilings for a smooth, uniform surface.
- Full replastering: removing failed plaster back to the block and applying new base and finish coats.
- Corner beads and edges: fitting beads for sharp, durable external corners and window reveals.
- Exterior render: cement-based render repairs on façades and boundary walls.
Gypsum, cement and the Cyprus climate
Choosing the right material matters. Gypsum plasters give a very smooth interior finish and set quickly, but they do not like persistent moisture. Cement and lime-based plasters are more resistant to damp and are the usual choice for exterior walls, basements and areas close to the ground. In coastal areas such as Ayia Napa and Larnaca, salt in the air and in older walls can cause bloom and crumbling, which needs addressing before new plaster goes on.
If plaster keeps bubbling, flaking or showing white salt deposits, there is usually a moisture problem behind it, such as rising damp, a leaking pipe or rain penetration. Replastering without fixing the cause rarely lasts. Cracks that are wide, growing or stepped across the blockwork may indicate structural movement and should be assessed by a suitably qualified professional before any cosmetic repair.
What affects the price
The cost depends on the area, whether it is a patch, a skim or a full replaster, the condition of the background, the plaster type, the ceiling height and access, and how much preparation and removal of old plaster is needed. Drying time before painting also needs planning: new plaster must dry fully, which may take from days to several weeks depending on thickness and weather.

Γιατί να επιλέξετε αυτή την υπηρεσία
Repairs That Blend In
Plasterers feather patches into the surrounding wall so that, once painted, repaired areas sit flush and become practically invisible to the eye.
Right Plaster for the Wall
Choosing between gypsum, cement and lime-based materials for each location helps plaster cope with Cyprus humidity, salt air and temperature swings.
Causes Before Cosmetics
A good plasterer looks for damp, salts or movement behind failing plaster and flags them, so you avoid paying for repairs that soon fail.
Ready for Your Decorator
A smooth, properly dried surface means paint or wallpaper goes on evenly, without bumps, ridges or old cracks showing through.
