Important: Fix the Leak First
Before repairing a water-damaged ceiling, the source of the leak must be identified and fixed. Plastering over an active leak will fail. We can advise but always recommend resolving the water ingress before replastering.
Water Damaged Ceiling Repair in London
Water-damaged ceilings are one of the most common plastering jobs across London. Whether from a burst pipe upstairs, a leaking roof, condensation, or an overflowing bath, water damage causes visible staining, cracking, bubbling plaster, and — in serious cases — ceiling collapse.
Our plasterers repair water-damaged ceilings across all 32 London boroughs. We assess each ceiling individually to determine the best approach — patch repair, section replacement, or full ceiling re-board and skim.
Types of Water Ceiling Damage We Fix
Staining only
Brown or yellow water stains on plaster. Treated, sealed, and skimmed over.
Cracked plaster
Cracks from water expanding and contracting the plaster. Cut out, bonded, and filled.
Bubbling/blown plaster
Plaster has separated from the base. Area cut back and replastered.
Soft/wet plaster
Plaster still soft or damp from recent leak. Dried out, treated, and replaced.
Collapsed section
Area of ceiling has fallen. New plasterboard installed and skimmed.
Full ceiling replacement
Ceiling beyond repair — removed, re-boarded, sealed, and skimmed.
Water Damaged Ceiling Repair Cost London
The cost to repair a water-damaged ceiling in London depends on the extent of damage:
- Minor staining repair (seal + skim): £150 – £300
- Moderate damage repair (patch): £250 – £500
- Large area replacement: £400 – £700
- Full ceiling re-board and skim: £500 – £900
Our Repair Process
We follow a thorough repair process to ensure the ceiling lasts and the damage doesn't recur. We use stain-blocking primer (Zinsser BIN or equivalent) before plastering to prevent any remaining staining bleeding through the new plaster. All repair work is skimmed to a seamless finish matching the surrounding ceiling.
