We recently completed a kitchen wall repair project in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire for a homeowner in a new build property after significant damage was caused during the removal of kitchen tiles. Removing tiles can often cause damage to the plaster beneath, particularly if the adhesive has bonded strongly to the wall surface, and in this case the plasterboard and skim coat had been heavily affected during the removal process. The homeowner contacted Cooper Plastering after the tiles had been taken off and the wall surface was left uneven, damaged and unsuitable for decorating or installing a new kitchen finish.
When we inspected the kitchen wall it was clear that the surface had suffered significant damage from the tile removal, including pulled sections of plaster, uneven areas and exposed sections where the plaster had broken away completely. This is a common issue when tiles are removed from plastered surfaces, especially in kitchens where strong tile adhesives are used. Rather than attempting small patch repairs which can sometimes leave an uneven finish, the best solution in this situation was to properly prepare and re-plaster the damaged areas so the wall would be perfectly smooth and ready for decorating or re-tiling.
The first stage of the work involved preparing the wall by removing any loose plaster and ensuring the surface was stable enough for new plaster to bond correctly. Areas of heavier damage were treated and levelled so that the entire wall could be brought back to a consistent flat surface. Once the preparation work was completed, fresh plaster was applied and carefully skimmed to achieve a clean, professional finish across the kitchen wall. Achieving a smooth surface is especially important in kitchens where light from windows or under-cabinet lighting can highlight imperfections in the wall.
The repair work took approximately two days to complete, allowing time for the preparation, plastering and finishing stages to be carried out properly. By the time the work was finished the kitchen wall had been fully restored and was left with a smooth, high-quality plaster finish ready for painting or new tiles.
Roy, the homeowner in Stratford-Upon-Avon, was very pleased with the finished result and said: “Andy from Cooper Plastering did an excellent job repairing our kitchen wall after we removed the old tiles. The wall was in a really rough state before he started, but he took the time to prepare it properly and the final finish is perfectly smooth. It looks like a brand new wall now. He was reliable, tidy and very professional throughout the job. I would definitely recommend Cooper Plastering.”
