How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Sydney drywall and plastering services. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from 388 people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does drywall repair cost in Sydney? (2026)

None of the companies above publish a fixed per-repair or per-square-metre rate on their own site or Google listing, and cost depends on the extent of damage, ceiling height, and paint matching required. Ask each contractor for a written quote after inspecting the damage.

Serving all of Sydney

The contractors above cover Sydney’s Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, and wider metro area, including Alexandria, Enmore, Birchgrove, and Glebe. Searching for a drywall or plastering service near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you hire a plasterer

  • Are you licensed and insured for residential plastering work in NSW?
  • Will you match the surrounding paint and texture, or just patch the hole?
  • Do you need approval from body corporate or strata before starting?
  • How long does the repair need to cure before I can repaint over it?
  • Will you provide the estimate in writing before starting?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these contractors?

We started from every drywall and plastering service in Sydney with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do these companies handle strata or body corporate approvals?

Several, including Plasterfix Australia, work regularly with strata and real estate clients and can guide you through the approval process. Confirm this when you book.

How much does drywall repair cost in Sydney?

Cost depends on the extent of damage and paint matching required, and none of the contractors here publish a fixed rate. Get a written quote after an inspection.

The bottom line

Plasterfix Australia is the safe default on proven volume and decades of family expertise, while ALL Sydney Ceilings offers a personal, owner-led alternative with the same perfect rating. Whichever contractor you choose, ask how they plan to blend the repair before work begins.
