PLASTERING — BEXLEYHEATH & KENT
Fed up with plasterers who leave walls that look fine until the paint goes on?
Plastering.
Smooth finish.
Every time.
RedEgg Renovations provide plastering services across Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Dartford, Welling, Erith and across Kent. Skim plastering, full replastering, patch repairs and dry lining — fixed price, one team, two-year guarantee on every job.
Whats Included
What our plastering service covers.
Good plastering is invisible — when it's done properly you don't notice it at all. What you notice is rooms that feel finished, paint that goes on evenly, walls that reflect light cleanly. What you notice when it's done badly is every imperfection the moment the first coat of paint hits the surface.
At RedEgg Renovations our plasterers take the time to prepare properly, apply correctly and finish to a standard that holds up to scrutiny — in any light, with any paint. Our plastering service across Bexleyheath and Kent includes:
-
Skim plastering over existing plasterboard or backing coat
-
Full replastering — scratch coat, backing coat and finish
-
Patch repairs — filling and blending damaged areas
-
Plasterboard dry lining — dot and dab and frame systems
-
Ceiling plastering and re-skimming
-
Coving and cornice installation
-
Artex removal and smooth plastered finish
-
External rendering — sand and cement and monocouche
-
Insulated render systems
-
Full waste removal and site clean on completion
Whether it's a single wall patch after a pipe repair, a full room reskim following damp treatment, or complete replastering as part of a full refurbishment — we'll price it clearly, do it properly, and leave it ready to paint.

Why RedEgg
Plasterers in Bexleyheath who leave a finish worth painting.
A wall that looks smooth before painting can look terrible after it. Every imperfection in the plaster — every trowel mark, every slight hollow, every rushed join — becomes visible the moment paint goes on, especially in a room with natural light hitting the wall at an angle. We get called in regularly to reskims that failed this test and need doing again.
Our plasterers work to a proper finish — the kind that looks as good in harsh raking light as it does straight on. Every job we carry out in Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Dartford and across Kent is priced clearly, done properly, and left ready to paint first time without touching it up.

What To Expect
What good plastering really involves.
Plastering looks straightforward — and in the hands of a skilled plasterer a room can be skimmed in a day. But the quality of that finish depends entirely on how the work is prepared and how it's applied. Here's what you need to know before booking a plasterer in Bexleyheath or across Kent.
What's the difference between skim plastering and full replastering?
Skim plastering applies a thin finish coat of plaster — typically 2–3mm — over an existing sound surface. It's used to freshen up a room, cover minor damage, or create a smooth finish over new plasterboard. Full replastering involves applying a scratch coat and backing coat first, building up the surface before the finish coat. This is required when existing plaster has failed, is damp-damaged, or has been removed. We'll assess the walls and tell you exactly what's required at the consultation visit.
How long does plaster need to dry before painting?
New plaster needs time to dry properly before painting — typically four to six weeks for a full replaster, two to three weeks for a skim coat depending on conditions. Painting too early causes problems including peeling and staining. We'll advise you on the correct drying time and what to look for before the decorators go in.
Can you remove Artex ceilings?
Yes. Artex removal is a job we carry out regularly across Bexleyheath and Kent. Older Artex may contain low levels of asbestos — we'll assess this and advise appropriately before any work starts. Once removed, we'll skim the ceiling to a smooth flat finish ready for painting.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about plastering in Bexleyheath.
How much does plastering cost in Bexleyheath?
Plastering costs in Bexleyheath and across Kent depend on the size of the area, the type of work required and the condition of the existing surfaces. As a rough guide, skim plastering a standard bedroom typically costs £300–£500 for labour. A full room replaster is usually £500–£900 depending on size and ceiling height. We visit for free and provide a full written quote with no obligation before any work starts.
How long does plaster take to dry before I can paint?
New plaster needs to be fully dry before painting — typically two to three weeks for a skim coat and four to six weeks for a full replaster, depending on the conditions, ventilation and time of year. Painting too early causes issues including peeling and staining. We'll advise you on the correct drying time as part of the job handover.
Can you match existing plaster for patch repairs?
Yes. Patch plastering is something we carry out regularly across Bexleyheath and Kent — after pipes have been chased, following damp treatment, or to repair accidental damage. We blend the new plaster into the existing surface as seamlessly as possible. On older properties with textured or unusual finishes, we'll advise on the best approach at the consultation visit.
Do you offer external rendering?
Yes. We carry out external rendering including sand and cement render, monocouche render and insulated render systems across Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Dartford and Kent. External rendering protects the building fabric, improves insulation and dramatically improves the appearance of the property. We'll assess the existing external surface and advise on the most appropriate system at the consultation stage.
Can you plaster after damp treatment?
Yes. Replastering after damp treatment is a job we carry out regularly. Damp-damaged plaster must be fully removed before new plaster is applied — you cannot skim over it. We use the correct renovation plaster products for replastering after damp treatment, which are specifically formulated to manage residual salts in the wall and provide a stable base for the finish coat.
