Frequently Asked Questions

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 Gheorgheni?

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.

How long does plastering and skim coating take for an apartment?

A 60-80 sqm apartment (plaster + skim coat) can be completed in 7-14 working days, depending on surface condition and number of coats. Add drying time between coats (24-48 hours per coat).
