How much does a plasterer cost per sqm in Australia?
Plasterboard supply and installation in Australia costs $25–$65/sqm for standard walls. Ceilings cost 20–30% more. Hourly rates run $50–$120/hr for labour-only work.
How much does plastering a whole house cost in Australia?
Plastering a full 3-bedroom house in Australia costs $600–$2,500, including supply and installation of all plasterboard, stopping, and cornice. A single room costs $80–$280.
How much does plasterboard repair cost in Australia?
Small plasterboard repairs (holes, cracks) in Australia cost $60–$150 per repair. Water-damaged ceiling sections cost $35–$85 to replace. Larger damage is priced per sqm.
How long does plastering take to dry?
Each coat of stopping compound needs 24 hours to dry before the next coat. A full plasterboard finishing job (3 coats) takes 3–5 days minimum before it's ready for painting. Don't rush this — rushing causes cracking.
Does a plasterer need to be licensed in Australia?
For small repairs and plasterboard installation, licensing requirements vary by state. For large jobs (whole-house, structural walls) and anything over $5,000–$10,000, a licensed builder is required in most Australian states.
What causes plasterboard to crack?
Cracks are caused by building movement (normal), water damage, poor stopping technique, or insufficient coats of compound. Hairline cracks are cosmetic; wide or recurring cracks may indicate structural movement and should be assessed by a builder in Australia.
