Plastering in Știrbești

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.

What to check before hiring a plastering

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
Check whether old plaster is solid or needs removal before placing an order

Frequently Asked Questions

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).

Is priming required before skim coat?

Yes, priming the surface before skim coat application is mandatory. Primer reduces water absorption from the substrate, improves skim coat adhesion, and prevents future cracking or peeling.

What plaster is used in bathrooms or kitchens?

In wet areas, cement-based or water-resistant plaster is recommended. Gypsum plaster is not recommended in bathrooms unless subsequently covered with tiles or a waterproofing membrane.

Can plaster be applied over drywall?

Drywall doesn't need plastering — it is primed and skim coated directly, or only the joints and screw heads are filled. Applying a thick plaster layer over drywall is not recommended as it increases weight and may damage the boards.
