Plastering in Călugăreni

About this service

Plastering and skim coating are the foundational works that prepare walls for final finishes — paint, wallpaper, or other decorative coverings. Services include interior plastering (manual or machine-applied), exterior plastering (including insulation systems), skim coat application in plaster or acrylic, repairing and retouching deteriorated walls, applying decorative plasters (Venetian, bark finish, resins), removing old deteriorated plaster, and re-profiling corners. An experienced plasterer achieves flat surfaces with uniform thickness and straight angles, essential for a quality final result when painting or wallpapering. The choice of plastering system (plaster, lime-cement, drywall) depends on the substrate, application area (wet or dry), and budget. Exterior plaster with fiberglass mesh and silicate or acrylic render protects the facade from weather for 10-20 years. SmallJobs connects you with experienced plasterers available for small and large projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 Călugăreni?

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.

What is the difference between plaster and skim coat?

Plaster is the thick layer (1-3 cm) that levels the wall and covers irregularities in masonry or concrete. Skim coat is a thin layer (1-3 mm) applied over the plaster to achieve a smooth, paint-ready surface. Skim coat without a base plaster layer won't hold long-term if the wall isn't already flat.

Can I paint directly over old plaster without skim coating?

If the plaster is flat and solid, a leveling primer can be applied and then painted. However, skim coat ensures a smoother, more uniform surface, resulting in a higher quality paint finish, especially for washable or matte paints.

What is machine-applied plaster and when is it used?

Machine-applied plaster is sprayed with special pumps and is more uniform and faster than manual plastering. It's advantageous for large surfaces (apartment blocks, large houses) and significantly reduces working time. For small surfaces or hard-to-reach areas, manual plastering is preferred.
