Plaster patching and paint touch-ups
Old picture hooks, a handle punched through a door, hairline cracks above a doorway: these small marks build up around a house without ever being worth calling a painter for on their own. Left on an agent's list or a to-do pad, they're easy to patch and touch up properly in the same visit as everything else.
What the job involves
Holes, cracks and old fixings filled, sanded and painted to match.
What's included
- Filling holes from picture hooks, handles and old fixings
- Filling hairline cracks in plaster
- Sanding patches back flush with the surrounding wall
- Painting touch-ups matched to the existing colour
- Tidying up dust and offcuts before leaving

Questions we often get
Is my job too small?
Probably not. Plenty of our visits are a few small jobs added together, which is why we suggest sending the whole list.
How do you charge?
By the hour plus materials, with a one-hour minimum. We tell you the hourly rate when you book, and an estimate of the hours once we've seen your list.
Do you do plumbing or electrical work?
No. Anything that needs a licensed plumber or electrician we leave alone, and we'll tell you so you can book the right trade.
Can you help get a house ready for sale?
Yes. Send us the agent's list or your own, and we'll work through the repairs, patching and touch-ups before the photos and open inspections.
Can you hang a TV on a stone or brick wall?
Yes, we bring the right fixings for masonry. Tell us the TV size and the wall type when you book.
Do I need to be home?
It's easiest if you are at the start, so we can go through the list together. If not, we can arrange access and send photos when we finish.
How the job is priced
Charged by the hour plus materials, with a one-hour minimum. We confirm the rate when you book and estimate the hours once we've seen photos of what needs patching.
