Gyprock Repairs across Sydney
Gyprock damage almost always looks worse than it is. Most Sydney homes get small holes from doorknobs, picture hooks or moving furniture; older terraces get hairline cracks where the building has settled; and apartments get water damage from neighbours upstairs. Every one of those is repairable without re-sheeting the whole wall — if it's done properly.
The mistake most generalists make is rushing the compound. A real gyprock repair takes three thin coats with proper drying time, the right mesh or backing depending on the size of the hole, and a final sand that feathers the edge out 200–300mm so it never shows under LED downlights. That's what we do, every job.
We cover gyprock repairs across all of Sydney — Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Hills District, Parramatta and the CBD. Strata, residential, real-estate pre-sale touch-ups, all of it.
What's included
Doorknob holes, accidental kicks, removalist damage. Backed, patched, set in three coats and blended invisibly.
Settlement cracks, expansion cracks around windows and ceiling cornices — opened up, mesh-reinforced and re-set so they don't come back.
Stained, sagging or soft gyprock from leaks — cut out, replaced and re-set after the moisture source is confirmed dry.
We match smooth set, light stipple, heavy stipple and decorative textures to the existing ceiling or wall.

FAQs
Small holes (doorknob, picture hook) typically run $250–$450. Larger patches or sections damaged by water or impact sit between $450 and $950. We give a fixed price after a photo or quick visit — never an hourly rate.
A standard patch needs three visits over 2–3 days because each coat of compound has to cure before the next. We schedule those visits around you so you're not waiting all day.
Yes — we match traditional Sydney finishes including smooth set, light stipple, heavy stipple and Tuscan textures. Bring a photo or we'll inspect on site to colour-match the texture properly.
Smaller patches can sometimes be touched-in by your painter. For larger repairs we recommend painting the whole wall or ceiling edge-to-edge so the patch disappears completely under any light.
Yes — common-area gyprock repairs in Sydney apartment blocks are a big part of our work. We invoice strata managers directly and work around resident schedules.
