Skimming

Thin-coat skim plaster for a perfectly smooth, paint-ready surface.

Skimming is the application of a thin finish coat of plaster over an existing surface — ideal for rooms with tired, rough, or cracked plaster that doesn't need a full re-plaster. The result is a flat, smooth wall ready for decoration. We skim single rooms, whole houses, and new plasterboard partitions.

Key Benefits

  • Cost-effective alternative to full re-plaster
