Drywalling or plastering?

Question

We are about to embark on a kitchen remodel on our new house, and stripped back the lovely paper that was on the walls and ceiling (!) to find chipped and cracked concrete with some plaster where the tiles were. Is it possible to plaster this, or would it be better to drywall? Thanks!

Hi, yes it would be better to drywall or you cannot Guarantee the cracks would not reappear and it is not best to plaster over concrete hope this helps and would be happy to give you a quote for this.

Thanks Dean

Hi, depending on how bad the walls are you may be able to repair the walls with either bonding or hardwall before re-plastering

Lee · Answer

Yes you could plaster this, just bond it and re skim it for a smooth finish.

I’d would advise dry wall you can guarantee a perfect finish that way. It’s like starting again basically

pva, bonding, plaster would be the best way and dryling would give you the same look just would be on price you have and time if am honest, drying is done a lot in Australia on multi million pound house and not hurt them

Hi,
Personally I would dry line the walls so at least you can straighten all of the walls for your new kitchen to fit against. That way you basically have brand new walls.
Thanks,
Leigh.

For a kitchen, I would always go for re-plastering rather than drywall, as this would be more of a solid wall for fixing your kitchen units.
