SKIMMING & REPLASTERING
A smooth foundation for your room
A new coat of paint cannot disguise an uneven plaster background. Skimming adds a finishing layer where the existing surface is stable, while replastering can involve more extensive preparation when old plaster is damaged or loose. Choosing the right approach starts with the condition of the wall rather than its appearance alone.
When contacting us about wall skimming in Bracknell, explain the room size, current coverings and any visible cracks or loose patches. If wallpaper has been removed, show the uncovered surfaces in your photographs. A close-up and a full-room view give a clearer picture of both the preparation and the finish required.
You may want one room refreshed or several areas completed during a renovation. Mention ceilings and adjoining surfaces at the same time so the quotation covers the work you actually need. We offer free, no-obligation quotes and will discuss the scope before work is agreed.
YOUR QUESTIONS
About skimming & replastering
What is the difference between skimming and replastering?
Skimming applies a finishing coat to a suitable background. Replastering can involve more extensive work to the existing plaster. The condition of the wall determines which approach is appropriate.
Can you skim over existing plaster?
It depends on whether the existing plaster is sound and suitable for preparation. Loose, damp or badly damaged areas should be assessed before a finishing coat is considered.
When can I paint newly plastered walls?
Wait until the plaster is fully dry and follow the guidance for the plaster and paint being used. Drying varies with the background, thickness, temperature and ventilation, so a fixed number of days is not suitable for every room.
