What Affects the Cost?

Key pricing factors include surface condition and preparation time—uneven walls or damaged plaster require more remedial work. Ceiling plastering costs more due to working overhead. Material quality matters: standard multi-finish plaster costs less than specialist products like moisture-resistant plaster for bathrooms or acoustic finishes. Room access, scaffolding needs, and whether the job involves Artex removal also affect pricing. Location within Kettering can influence costs slightly, but the town has relatively consistent market rates.

Money-Saving Tips

Clear the room of furniture and clutter before work starts to reduce labour time. Group multiple rooms together to negotiate better rates and reduce setup costs. Request quotes for per-square-metre pricing rather than daily rates if your job is well-defined, and ask plasterers to quote for preparation work separately so you understand all costs upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does plastering typically take?

A standard room (12–15 m²) usually takes 2–3 days to plaster completely, including drying time between coats. Ceilings take longer due to working overhead. Complex jobs with Artex removal may add 1–2 days. Drying times vary with humidity and ventilation.

Do I need to pay for wall preparation separately?

Often yes. If walls are heavily damaged, have old wallpaper, or need Artex removal, plasterers may quote preparation as a separate service. Always ask for a breakdown of labour and materials so you know what's included in your quote.

What's the difference between skimming and single-coat plastering?

Skimming applies a thin finishing layer (2–3 mm) over existing plaster—quicker and cheaper, but requires sound base plaster. Single-coat plaster (8–10 mm) is applied to bare brick or block and provides a full new surface. Single-coat is more durable and hides imperfections better.

How much does it cost to plaster a small bathroom?

A typical small bathroom (6–8 m²) with moisture-resistant plaster usually costs £120–£180, depending on condition and whether tiling prep is needed. Moisture-resistant products cost slightly more but protect against damp in humid environments.
