Wall damage can include dents, holes, chipped plaster, or minor impact damage. Repairs usually involve filling the damaged area, sanding the surface smooth, and preparing it ready for painting. The time required depends on the size of the damage and the condition of the surrounding wall.
Below is a general guide to labour costs for wall damage repairs.
