We recently completed a ceiling repair project in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire for a homeowner in a new build property after a water leak from an upstairs shower caused damage to the hallway ceiling below.

Water damage to plaster ceilings is a fairly common issue, particularly when leaks occur in bathrooms or from plumbing above. In this case, the ceiling had developed noticeable staining along with areas of weakened plaster. There had also been a small repair attempt carried out previously which had not been completed properly, leaving the surface uneven and still visibly damaged.

After the plumbing leak had been fixed, the homeowner contacted Cooper Plastering to professionally repair the ceiling so that the finish would blend seamlessly with the rest of the hallway.

The first step was to carefully prepare the area by removing any loose or weakened plaster and ensuring the surface was solid and stable before carrying out the plastering work. Preparation is particularly important when repairing water damaged ceilings as it prevents future cracking and ensures the new plaster bonds properly.

Once the area had been prepared, the ceiling was professionally skimmed to create a smooth, even finish ready for decorating. The repair itself took approximately half a day to complete, and by the time the job was finished the hallway ceiling looked as good as new with no visible sign of the previous damage.

Tom, the homeowner, was extremely pleased with the result and said:

“Andy did a fantastic job repairing our hallway ceiling after a leak from our upstairs shower. The ceiling had some staining and a previous repair that looked pretty rough, but he sorted it quickly and the finish is absolutely perfect. You’d never know there had been any damage. Really professional service and left everything clean and tidy. Highly recommend Cooper Plastering.”
