Is one coat plaster ok for patching walls after a rewire?

Paul · Accepted Answer

Depends if it needs bonded first if its bk to brick thn coat if skim after in top of bonding

Michael · Answer

Yes, it's fine, but if the channels are wide deep, get some carlite bonding to fill first as if you use plaster it will get airline cracks in it you can get both from any DIY store BQ I would recommend

Jonathan · Answer

No. Two coats is always required for plaster works. This gives the walls a longer lasting guarantee.

If it’s for patching electrical chases then it’s ok but you’ll have to bond out the areas first as you shouldn’t be applying plaster thicker than 3mm really. I’m not a fan of one coating anything and would always try to apply two coats anywhere I can just as a rule of thumb! Good luck!

Depending on the size of the patch, in some cases yes it is suitable depending on thickness. However it is recommended to always two coat.

Yes.  Butt alldepends on thicknes of patch .  A little trick  is to  brush over the electrical conduet with   neat unibond  b4 plastering  this will help the plaster stick to the conduet better

Chris · Answer

No. IMO you always do two coats. You get a better finish.

Mark · Answer

It's ok but best to always pva before hand so it will not crack .if not happy with that then base coat bonding then skim in multi finish plaster..

Jack · Answer

You need to bond the chases first then you can ever do a one coat of plaster and sand it or use filler and sand it

Mark · Answer

It should be fine for a small repair job just as long as the entire wall doesn't need doing.
