Plasterer costs depend on the type of plaster, the surface area, the condition of the substrate, and whether it is interior or exterior work. Most plasterers charge per square metre for wall and ceiling work. Smaller jobs may be charged per hour plus a call-out fee. Decorative finishes like Venetian plaster or textured coatings cost more per m2 than standard smooth plaster. Always request a detailed quote separating labour and materials. See the plasterer cost guide for general rates and wall plastering costs for wall-only budgets.
A plasterer applies plaster finishes to walls and ceilings — from smooth paint-ready surfaces to decorative textures. The work includes surface preparation, priming, applying plaster coats, and finishing. Plasterers also handle exterior stucco, crack repair, and renovation of existing plaster surfaces.
The most common types are smooth plaster (paint-ready), textured plaster (spachtelputz), decorative plaster (Venetian plaster, tadelakt), spray plaster (spackspuiten), and exterior stucco. Each has different costs, durability, and aesthetic properties. A professional plasterer can advise which finish suits your space and budget.
Finding the right plasterer starts with comparing verified profiles, checking reviews, and requesting quotes from multiple professionals. Look for experience with the type of plaster finish you need. On SkilledContractors you can compare plasterers in Amsterdam and the surrounding area.
You can hire a solo plasterer or a plastering company. Solo plasterers often offer competitive rates and personal attention. A company may have more capacity for larger projects. For a single room, a solo plasterer is usually ideal; for a full home or commercial property, a company with a team can deliver faster.
A plasterer applies or repairs the facade plaster. A painter coats an existing surface. Describe whether your project needs a new plaster finish, repairs or a repaint. Compare exterior plastering costs for the plaster work and exterior painting costs for the coating. Ask the contractor to list each scope separately.
