What to check before hiring a plastering

In wet areas (bathroom, kitchen), specify the need for moisture-resistant plaster
Ventilate rooms well after plastering and skim coating to accelerate drying
Don't paint before complete drying — minimum 7-14 days after skim coat completion
Make sure the substrate is solid and dust-free before starting plastering or skim coating
Don't rush drying between coats — respect setting times to avoid cracking
Always prime the surface before applying skim coat

Frequently Asked Questions

What decorative plasters are available and how are they applied?

The most popular are Venetian plaster (hand-polished, marble-like appearance), bark texture (applied with a trowel, granular look), decorative mosaic, and epoxy wall resins. Each requires a specialized tradesperson and careful substrate preparation.

Is exterior plaster different from interior plaster?

Yes. Exterior plaster must withstand weather, large temperature variations, and moisture. Cement mortars or insulation system solutions (EPS + mesh + silicate or acrylic render) are used. Interior plaster can be gypsum-based, easier to work with and finish.

What is an external insulation system and how does it work?

An external insulation composite system (ETICS) is a complete exterior thermal insulation system including: bonding polystyrene or mineral wool boards to the wall, reinforcing with fiberglass mesh, applying base coat plaster, and finishing with decorative render. It significantly reduces heat loss and modernizes facade appearance.

Does old cracked plaster need to be completely removed?

If old plaster is detached, bubbled, or cracked over large areas, complete removal and re-plastering is recommended. For minor cracks with otherwise solid plaster, local intervention is possible — filling cracks, applying skim coat, and repainting.

How much does wall crack repair cost?

Repairing minor cracks (putty, joint filling) typically costs 50-200 RON per linear meter, depending on depth and length. If the crack has structural causes, a specialist assessment is required before any cosmetic intervention.

How much do plastering and skim coat cost for an apartment in Caransebeș?

Labor for interior gypsum plastering is 16–55 RON/sqm, and skim coat is 9–32 RON/sqm. For a 60 sqm four-room apartment, the total labor cost can be 3,000–8,000 RON depending on surface condition and number of coats required.
