What does wall plastering cost in 2026?

For smooth wall plastering you pay on average € 10 to € 30 per m², including labour and materials. Smooth ceiling plastering costs € 15 to € 35 per m² (overhead work is slower), spray plaster € 5 to € 12 per m² and facade rendering € 45 to € 110 per m². For the walls of one room that comes to € 300 to € 1,500 — the state of the surface and the desired finish decide where you land in the band.

Wallpaper-ready is flat enough for wallpaper or fibreglass liner and sits at the bottom of the price band. Paint-ready is the tightest finishing class: meant to be painted directly, where raking light betrays every unevenness — that takes more work and thus sits at the top of the band. State which level you want in your request; the plasterer then quotes the right work straight away.

Yes — plaster does not bond reliably to wallpaper or residue. Loose old plaster must also be removed. You can strip the wallpaper yourself to save money, or have it included as preparation work in the quote; mention in your request what is currently on the walls.

The rule of thumb in the trade is roughly one day of drying per millimetre of layer thickness, with normal ventilation. A thin topcoat is dry after a few days; thick levelling work needs weeks. Painting or wallpapering too early traps moisture and causes blistering — ask the plasterer at handover when the wall is ready for the next step.

Yes. Plasterers cover floors and furniture and work room by room. In an empty space the work does go faster — and is therefore cheaper — than in a furnished one; state the situation in your request so the quote takes it into account.

Facade rendering costs € 45 to € 110 per m², depending on condition, finish and scaffolding; per facade you usually land between € 1,250 and € 4,500. With facade insulation added, the per-m² price is considerably higher. Exterior work happens in dry weather from roughly 5 degrees — in practice from March through October. Whoever requests quotes in winter is first in line when the season starts.

Yes. Submitting a request costs nothing and commits you to nothing. You receive up to 3 quotes and choose yourself — or no one, that's fine too. Prices and payment are arranged directly with the plasterer.

Plasterers in your region respond as soon as possible with a price indication. In busy renovation months it can take slightly longer — whoever places a request well in advance compares calmly and schedules the work at the preferred moment.

Yes. We verify Chamber of Commerce registration and business liability insurance before a company receives requests. Companies with recurring complaints are removed from the platform.

Your details are shared only with the (up to 3) plasterers matched to your request. We never resell your data and automatically delete requests after the legal retention period. See our privacy policy.

Guarantee arrangements are made directly with the plasterer. Ask how shrinkage cracks (which can be part of a building drying out) are handled versus defects in the work itself, and have the guarantee period and conditions laid down in the quote in writing. Keep the invoice as proof.
