How much does Plasterers cost in Portsmouth? (2026 price guide)

Plastering a single standard-sized room typically costs £300-£600 for walls and ceiling combined, while skimming a ceiling alone usually runs £120-£250. Rendering an external wall generally costs £40-£70 per square metre, and small patch repairs or crack filling can be as little as £80-£150 for a half-day callout.

Pricing is shaped mainly by the size and condition of the surface, whether old plaster needs stripping back first, the type of finish specified such as smooth skim, textured or lime plaster, and how many coats are required for a durable result. Experienced plasterers who can guarantee a fast, even drying finish typically command higher day rates.

Checking a plasterer's recent finished work in person, and confirming drying time is factored into the schedule, helps avoid rushed jobs that crack later.
