Plaster Skim and Repair

Ready to use skim coat that delivers smooth, white finishes for plasterboard jointing, repairs, and final surfacing.

General Details

Our plaster skim coat is a ready to use emulsion based compound that’s perfect for multi purpose fine surfacing work. Thanks in part to its convenient ready mixed formula this plasterboard joint filler will transform plaster walls and ceilings with ease.

Repair Existing Plaster Walls

You can use Filltite plaster skim for indoor repairs to existing plaster walls and for producing flawlessly smooth paint ready surfaces. Likewise, it is especially effective when there is a need to quickly repair and level surface profiles up to 5mm deep prior to re-decorating.

Easy to Sand Level

This versatile and durable surface repair compound cures to a hard-wearing finish by moisture evaporation. However once dry it can be easily sanded, so it is ideal for quickly applying slightly proud of surrounding surfaces. Then it can be worked level with its surroundings using an abrasive pad or sandpaper.

Plaster Skim Straight from The Bucket

As well as a handy 5 kg tub this product is also available in a 10 kg bucket, which easily accepts filling tools like plastering trowels, large filling knifes and straight-edge floats.

Ready mixed plaster skim and repair is for interior applications. However, when application in an external environment is absolutely necessary, it can be over-painted with oil or water-based paints for improved durability.

Alternatively for tougher outdoor repairs, levelling, and smoothing, also consider Filltite Rock Hard Repair Filler. It’s extremely durable and ideal for exterior applications when a very hard-wearing finish is required.
