Wall Damage Repair Costs

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.

Send the approximate width and height of each damaged area, or a photo with something for scale. Mention any loose plaster or damaged plasterboard.


Small Wall Repairs

Repairing small holes or dents in walls is normally a quick job when the surrounding plaster is in good condition.

Typical labour cost: £80 — £140
Time: around 1 hour


Medium Wall Repairs

Repairing larger damaged areas may require additional filling, sanding, and preparation.

Typical labour cost: £120 — £220
Time: around 2–3 hours


When costs can vary

Repair work may take longer depending on the condition of the wall. Additional time may be required if:

  • plasterboard needs replacing

  • surfaces need sanding and preparation

  • multiple repair areas are involved

  • access is limited

Prices are estimates only. Final costs depend on the work required, job complexity and accessibility. Materials are charged separately unless otherwise stated. The size, depth and condition of the damaged area are assessed before a final price is quoted.
