Rough plastering cost

Hi all,

I've just bought a house and one of the bedroom walls has a damaged wall, and I'm wondering how much much it would cost to replaster? The damaged area is roughly 6ft by 6ft.

    Small jobs still need them to be on site, mix up etc- is there anything else they can do while there ? We are having two walls done, 5m long each 2.3m high, £190 on north east

    Is the £190 for both walls or each?

    I would want the plastering to be smooth...

    Depends on how rough you want the finish :p


    A decent plasterer would be able to do a small wall like that in an afternoon - Would budget between £150 and £200 plus a bag of plaster. The problem would be finding a reliable tradesman willing to do such a small job as this.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    We've had little jobs like this done by tradesmen when a job finishes early or there's some hold-up and they have some time spare - if you're available for them to come round at very short notice, they can use time that they otherwise wouldn't be paid for. Ours have done the work for good rates because of that.
