Cracked plasterboard, dented walls, scuff and impact damage, hairline cracks along joins. Licensed plasterer in Toowoomba — send a few clear photos and get a rough estimate before any site visit.
Most wall repair jobs in Toowoomba homes are about getting plasterboard back to a smooth, paintable surface. That covers holes from impact, cracks at corners and joins, scuffs and dents from furniture or moving day, and old patch work that hasn't aged well. The fix depends on how big and how deep the damage runs.
Send a few clear photos, your suburb and a short description of the damage. For many small wall repair jobs, Kevin from KGW Builds can give a rough estimate before arranging a site visit. Larger or hidden damage may still need a quick inspection.
Hairline cracks along corners or sheet joins are usually a tape failure, not a structural problem. They're cut back, re-taped and set in coats so the join holds long-term. A surface fill alone tends to come back in a few months.
Holes from impact — a door handle, a knock-through, accidental damage — are squared off, backed if needed, patched with new plasterboard and set. Done properly, no shadow or join is visible after paint.
Dents and small scuffs are filled, sanded and feathered back. Pre-sale, pre-paint or end-of-lease patch runs are common and usually quick to scope from photos.

FAQ
For most wall repair jobs, yes. A close-up of the damage, a wider shot of the wall, and a rough count if there are multiple areas — that's usually enough to come back with a rough estimate. Larger or unusual repairs may still need a quick on-site look.
Not always. As long as access can be arranged, most wall repairs are carried out without you needing to be on-site. End-of-lease and rental jobs are commonly done this way through a property manager.
Yes. Walls are handed back sanded and flush with the surrounding plaster, ready for paint. Most clients arrange their own painter or do the touch-up themselves. If you'd like painting included, ask in your enquiry — it can sometimes be arranged.
Most patches are a multi-visit job because each set coat needs time to dry. Cut and patch one day, set coats over the following days, then sand and finish. End-of-lease patch runs across multiple rooms can usually be coordinated within a week.
Hairline cracks along corners or sheet joins are usually a sign that the original tape has failed. Filling over the top is a short-term fix — within a few months the crack reappears. The lasting fix is to cut back, re-tape with paper tape and set in proper coats so the join holds.
