What is skim coating?
Skim coating is a thin layer of plaster or compound spread over a wall or ceiling and sanded smooth. It hides uneven plaster, board joints, small cracks and old repairs, so the paint on top looks flat and even. It is the step between rough walls or new boards and the final paint.
Overview
Plastering & Skim Coating in Singapore
Good paint can only look as good as the wall underneath. We level uneven walls, fill cracks and holes, tape and joint new gypsum boards, and skim coat walls and ceilings until they are smooth.
This work is often part of a painting, ceiling or partition job, but we also take it on by itself, for example to repair walls after hacking, tiling or electrical works.

FAQ
Plastering & Skim Coating: questions clients ask
Do I need skim coating before painting?
Not always. If the walls are smooth, filling a few holes is enough. We recommend a skim coat when walls are uneven, patchy or have many cracks.
Can you fix cracks that keep coming back?
We find out why the crack appears first. Hairline cracks in plaster can be repaired; structural cracks need an engineer's advice before any cosmetic repair.
How long must skim coat dry before painting?
Thin coats usually dry within a day, depending on humidity and ventilation. We sand and prime once the surface is fully dry.
Is skim coating messy?
Sanding creates fine dust, so we cover furniture and floors, close off the area and clean up at the end of the job.
Can you repair walls after an electrician or plumber?
Yes. We patch chased walls and openings left by other trades so they can be painted without marks.
