DIY walls. Plaster repair

A hole appears.

It can be large or small - a piece of plaster falls off, a hole is made that becomes through, a hole is mistakenly drilled with a hammer drill in the wrong place.

After that, fixing a hole in the wall is headache and the responsibility of either the owners or the repairmen.

They can be divided by size - large and small.

Large holes will require significant volume.

Most likely, in this case you will have to finish the entire surface of the wall in order to hide it again.

Fix a hole in the wall small size much simpler.

Here you can limit yourself to finishing work on a local scale.

For big holes It is necessary to fill the hole using stone materials.

How to repair a hole in this type of wall? Best of all is what the wall was made of before. For example, for brick wall sealing with brick is suitable, for a wall made of aerated concrete you can use. For a tongue-and-groove wall, take a piece of a tongue-and-groove block. For concrete wall take the brick.

The material for laying in the hole is selected taking into account the material from which the masonry is made. For brick and aerated concrete you can take cement mortar and place the piece covering the hole on it.

For the tongue-and-groove, be sure to use gypsum masonry mortar. Be careful - it hardens quickly! You should not use rotband and other gypsum plasters for this purpose - the adhesion will be fragile. But you can use fine-grained gypsum putties, such as Fugenfüller - they will adhere well to the tongue-and-groove block. In this case, it is advisable not to make the layer thicker.

Before you start filling the hole, try to line up the edges, especially the bottom. This will avoid problems with . You can level it with a chisel or a hammer drill. Be careful not to completely gouge the wall or break too much. It is also advisable to trim the edges. It is convenient to fit a piece of block or brick under the hole using a stove hammer, making gentle blows and breaking off small pieces.

If it is a plasterboard wall, such as a multilayer partition, screw a piece of plasterboard from inside the main one. This is done like this:

  • Cut out a piece of drywall larger than the hole, 3-4 centimeters in all directions, then cut it in half.
  • Screwed to the front side of one cut piece door knob on self-tapping screws.
  • The sheet is inserted behind the main cladding and screwed on the outside with self-tapping screws. The handle is unscrewed.
  • Also screw the second half, joining an even seam approximately in the middle of the hole.

After the hole in the wall is sealed, the masonry has dried and finally set, plastering work is carried out.

How to repair fallen plaster

Small-scale plastering work will have to be carried out as after stone works after filling holes, and after the plaster has fallen off from a small area.

The easiest way to do this is to use quick-hardening gypsum plasters.

These compositions allow you to immediately apply a large layer, especially in a local area, and do not have to wait long for the plaster to set.

What is the best way to seal a hole in the wall using gypsum compounds?

The most common such composition is the rotband. The time it takes for it to fully set is about three hours, and for complete drying to take place – about a week (depending on the air humidity in the room).

You can use plasters from other manufacturers. It is better not to use pure alabaster - it gives unpredictable adhesion to the surface and then it is unknown how it will lie on a large alabaster platform.

Before filling the hole, it is cleaned. Take out all the pieces that fall off and move, sweep away the dust with a brush. The surface is moistened, primed with compounds intended for plastering works. After this, a layer of plaster is applied.

It is more convenient to do this when filling holes using a small ten-point spatula. Apply until the entire surface is filled to the plane of the wall. After this, the layer, while it has not yet set, is carefully cut off according to the rule, flush with the main wall.

Acrylic sealant is good because almost any paint fits well on it and sticks to it.

How to make a defect invisible

For small defects sealed with sealant, you can make them invisible using a small brush and paint.

Simply paint the white caulk over the edge of the resulting hole with a brush.

It is advisable to match the paint by color, but if it does not match too much, it is not a problem.

In a small area this will not be very noticeable.

For larger defects, full finishing is carried out.

If the defect is on the wallpaper, it is necessary to putty the defect and align it with the rest of the wall, and then replace the sheet, carefully cutting it along the adjacent wallpaper. If the defect is on a painted wall, it is puttyed and painted over.

In this case, you need to very accurately select the paint color to match the base color. If on a tile, several tiles are placed at the site of the defect. If it is not possible to hide the defect, do it again exterior finishing the entire wall.

How and with what to seal the grooves is shown in the video:

- a thing is not eternal. Owners of houses and apartments are faced with a problem when it begins to crack or fall off in places. What to do? We will look at the reasons for this phenomenon, as well as how to repair plaster walls in individual places and surface restoration technology.

Surface defects, causes and method of restoration
There are a number of defects that are formed when the proportions of the components of the composition or the technology of its application are violated. The list is as follows:

  1. Formation of tubercles on the surface and swelling.
  2. Sedimentary cracks.
  3. Fresh plaster is peeling off the wall.
  4. Formation of cracks throughout the entire depth of the solution.
  5. Efflorescence, spots and stripes appear on the wall after the plaster layer has dried.

What is the reason for such defects? Swelling and bumps may appear if the limestone composition is not seasoned and has unslaked particles. How to make repairs lime plaster in this case? It is necessary to withstand the plaster until the lime is completely extinguished. Defects are opened, abundantly moistened with water and filled plaster mortar. All that remains is to wipe the surface.

Sedimentary cracks are formed when the composition is poorly mixed and when there is an excess of binder. Precise adherence to proportions and dosage in accordance with the packaging will help solve the problem. All that remains is to thoroughly mix the plaster and level the surface.

When the base has not been prepared, cleaned, rough, too dry and dusty, fresh plaster may flake off when applied. To solve this, you will need to pause work and start preparing the surface. The application technology is as follows: notches are made on the surface for better adhesion (or shingles are made), the wall is cleaned of dust and dirt. In addition, it is moistened with water. Then the mixture will not peel off, and repairs to the plaster and surfaces inside the building will not be needed for a long time.

If the problem is cracks throughout the entire thickness of the plaster layer, then there is exactly one reason - there is no reinforcing mesh between the wall and the plaster. The base material is not rigid and is not reinforced in any way. The technology for applying the mixture is that the subsequent finishing layer should be less durable than the previous one, that is, it contains less binder. To prevent the intermediate layers from drying out, they must be moistened with water and reinforced with mesh.

The last defect is spots and stripes. They most often appear on walls with outside. The cause may be a very damp or wet surface. Especially when the plaster is applied after rain. The solution is to treat the dried walls and waterproof them to prevent moisture from being drawn up from the ground. Local repairs of plastered walls are performed differently. The technology is simple, but requires careful consideration.

Step-by-step instructions for eliminating defects


You can repair a wall with fallen pieces of plaster yourself. The work is not difficult. You just need to follow the instructions. Alternatively, you can completely remove the layer and apply a new one. But it is more profitable to plaster the damaged areas. It all starts with an inspection. It is important to identify areas that need repair. You will need a wooden mallet. You will have to lightly tap the wall. If a dull sound is heard, then the train has moved away.

  1. After the inspection, you need to remove the old plaster. We do not touch the places where it holds well.
  2. Next, the seams are cleaned, if this brickwork. The surface is cleaned of debris and dust.
  3. A primer is applied to the wall. It is needed for better grip.
  4. After the surface has dried, the wall is slightly moistened and the solution is applied. If it peels off most of walls, then you will have to use beacons and rules. This is the only way the surface of the wall will be perfectly flat.
  5. For minor damage, the plaster is removed in the shape of a square or rectangle. The area is processed according to the previously described method, and the recess is filled with the prepared composition. It is important to adhere to the proportions so that the mixture has the correct consistency.
  6. Another restoration option is restoration with corks. In the right places, a hole is drilled to the base, primed, filled with mortar and plastered.

Note! For wooden walls use the solution on limestone. However, it is not suitable for wet surfaces. It is better to resort to a cement mixture. It is recommended to treat corners with gypsum plaster, as it sets faster.

Restoration work

Plaster repair also involves removing stains from the wall surface. They appear during operation and can be caused by grease, soot or rust. It also happens that the spots formed before finishing works. In this case, you will have to solve this problem before you start gluing wallpaper or laying tiles. Restoration work is as follows:


Advice! Whatever surface you're cleaning, it's important to clear it of dirt and dust first. Only after this other manipulations are performed.

The restoration of the surface under the tiles requires special attention. The procedure is as follows:

  • using a rubber mallet, tap the surface of the wall. This is the only way to identify a peeled or poorly fixed area;
  • When the area is found, you need to knock harder so that the tile falls off. If it is not removed in this way, then you will have to act radically - break it. The process requires accuracy: the tile is broken from the center so that the adjacent one is not damaged;
  • If after removal there is a strong layer of plaster left, then it is not necessary to knock it down. Should be glued more securely new tiles using special glue;
  • when the plaster falls off, the area is cleaned, primed and plastered again. After drying, a new tile is glued.

Removing cracks

With removal on the surface everything is much simpler. Repair of plaster walls in this case consists of two stages: surface preparation and plastering. To begin with, the wall with cracks is cleaned of old facing material and dirt. After this, a primer is applied to the surface. When it dries, you can start cleaning it to give the wall a smooth finish.


 Section of wall reinforced with mesh

Next, the plaster is mixed and applied to the surface. thin layer. The composition is leveled using a spatula. If there are large cracks, it is better to strengthen the structure with reinforcing mesh. With it, the plaster layer will be much stronger and will not crack.

Conclusion

Peeling plaster is a minor problem that you can fix yourself. No need to redo all the work. Worth spending restoration work, which will require a maximum of one day, plaster mixture, primer and spatula with the rule. Even with cosmetic repairs it is recommended to remove old mortar so that during operation it does not fall off along with the finish. Stains and cracks also need repair. Then you can be sure that the finish will last for many more years.

Where to start repairing plaster walls? This question is asked by everyone who for the first time decided to carry out major repairs in their house or apartment on their own.

Preparation

Removing old coating

The first step is for you from the entire area that you plan to renovate. Then the masonry seams are cleared to 1.5-2 m, the surface is washed with warm water.

Installation of beacons

If the area planned for repair is large, layers should be applied along beacons to obtain the desired result.

The distance between the beacons is set so that the solution can be placed between them as a rule. The thickness of one beacon should not exceed the thickness of the plaster without taking into account the covering. Instead of beacons, part of the old strong finish can be used.

Leveling by rule

Depending on the season there are. For example, in summer, in dry and hot weather, the surface must be periodically moistened so that it does not dry out too quickly.

Defects are usually eliminated with a brick, a scraper or the end of a dry tree. Wall repairs in wooden house can be done with lime mortar; in wet rooms, a more complex cement plastering method is provided.

Protruding corners can be repaired gypsum mortar, which has the property of rapid hardening. To do this, clean the area to be repaired from any remaining solution and dust, periodically wetting the surface with water. Then apply the gypsum mass with your own hands and carefully level it into correct form corner.

Note! You can determine the area where the plaster has peeled off by lightly tapping it.

Restoring plaster

Corner finishing technology

If grease stains or soot stains have formed on the surface, they must be eliminated as a priority, before painting and wallpapering. Rust can be eliminated with a three percent solution of hydrochloric acid, fat - two percent.

Rust is also removed with a solution copper sulfate, whitewash or special paints.

The repair school advises that plastering of walls in the presence of uneven surfaces should be carried out after applying leveling putty.

Most often, the damaged area is cut so that the hole has the shape of a rectangle. The surface is thoroughly cleaned of dirt and dust and then moistened with soda solution.

If the place to be repaired occupies a considerable area, prepare gypsum adhesive mastic, which is applied to reverse side triangle in the shape of a pyramid.

For those wondering where to start repairing tiled walls, we recommend checking out finishing material for strength. If you cannot carefully remove the damaged tile, you should knock it out in small pieces. This is done gradually from the middle to the edges so as not to catch or damage the edges of neighboring tiles.

In places where windows are connected under a layer of plaster, you can use double-sided foam tape. New tiles are glued special glue on casein-cement mastic (price - from 280 rubles), proportions 1: 3: 1: 2.5 - dry casein glue, cement, sand, water.

Some advice on how to repair a cracked wall.

  • Apply primer and let it dry for 2-3 hours. Then carefully sand the surface so that it is perfectly smooth and even.
  • Next, the surface will be coated on top. Apply the cement mortar with a spatula and let it dry.

Align

Repairing cracks

At major renovation walls, first of all, you should think about plaster. It can be completely dismantled and replaced, or you can simply patch it up. Let's look at how to repair plaster on old walls.

Replacement

Repair of plaster begins with its inspection. After all, it is necessary to redo not only the fallen areas, but also those where greasy spots or fungus have appeared:

  • Once you have identified the work area, you will need to remove the old plaster layer from it;
  • After this, they clean the masonry seams for about two meters and wash everything with warm water;
  • Plastering is carried out in three steps. First, the wall is wetted, then primed, and after that a new layer of mortar is applied with your own hands. For large areas, masonry is done using beacons. The beacons are located from each other, at a distance according to your rule, as shown in the photo. In this case, it is necessary that the edges of the rule lie on the surface of the beacons when editing the solution. If the area being treated is not too large, then the edges of the old layer can serve as beacons.

Considering the time of year in the yard, plaster has its own nuances. At high temperature outside the window, fresh solution must be wetted from time to time, otherwise everything may crack. If defects are found, they can be removed with a scraper or a piece of brick.

For plaster wooden surfaces lime mortar is used, but rooms with high humidity require use cement mixtures. For protruding corners, a gypsum-based solution is used. It has a quick setting effect. The corner is cleaned of dust and dirt, moistened with water, a pre-mixed solution is applied and the corner is given the correct shape.

To find an area with a loose layer, use a hammer or wooden mallet. The entire surface is tapped, and a dull sound will indicate exactly where the finish has come off.

Restoration

In addition to peeling and destruction, the plaster layer may have other defects that will require repair of the plaster interior walls. Over time, stains of grease and soot appear on the wall:

  • Before applying paint or wallpaper, they must be removed. Oily stains removed with a two percent solution of hydrochloric acid;
  • But for rust you need a 3% solution of the same acid. In addition, copper sulfate will help get rid of rust;
  • If the stains are too deeply ingrained and cannot be removed, they can be painted over with whitewash or special dyes.

In addition to stains, defects also include holes and, naturally, they must be repaired before facing with any materials. To do this, the hole is shaped into a rectangle, cleaned of dust and covered with a solution.

Any surface on which restoration is carried out must first be cleaned in separate places from dirt and dust. After this, it must be treated with a soda solution.

If you decide to restore the wall under the tiles, then:

  • first, the entire tile is tapped with care and its poorly secured parts are immediately removed;
  • sometimes the tiles are not removed simple method tapping, then you have to break it in separate places. This must be done very carefully, starting from the middle and slowly moving to the edges, so as not to damage the adjacent tile;
  • if a fairly strong layer of old mortar remains in place of the tile, then it is better not to touch it. You can glue new tiles onto it using special glue, as shown in the photo. This glue is based on casein-cement mastic and is added to the solution in a certain proportion - 1 to 3 to 1 to 2.5. Where glue and sand occupy one part each, cement accounts for three parts, and water accounts for two and a half. At the connection to the window, double-sided foam tape is used under a layer of plaster.

Cracks

A wall with cracks is cleaned of residues facing materials and covered with a layer of primer. After a few hours, when the primer has completely dried, the surface is cleaned to perfect smoothness.

We mix the cement mortar and apply it in a thin layer to the surface, after which it is leveled using the rule, as shown in the video. If the crack is very large or there are many of them, then you can resort to plaster mesh. It will give strength to the plaster layer.

Alignment

Wall alignment can be achieved in three ways:

  1. using special panels for finishing;
  2. applying a layer of plaster;
  3. by combining.

Drywall can also be used for leveling. Most perfect option for any surface is the use of plaster and drywall at the same time.

By hanging a wall, you can find out how much it deviates from the norm. To do this, hammer a nail at a distance of 30 cm from the ceiling. A plumb line is attached to it and a second nail is driven in from below. The same thing is done on the other side. Cords are stretched between the nails from the upper right nail to the lower left. The cords are pulled similarly between the second pair of nails. If the distance between the wall and the cord is more than 5 mm, then the surface must be leveled.

Let's sum it up

Before any cosmetic work, old plaster must be checked. Its restoration will not take you much time and effort, but will save you from completely redoing the renovation and unnecessary financial costs.
