Wall art

Hello experts,

we have the following holes in the walls and want to repair them.
What type of wall/plaster is this?
Can a layperson repair this?
Which materials and tools do I need for this?

Thank you very much for your help.

Can a layman fix that again?

No, even a professional wouldn’t be able to repair it in a way that it doesn’t show, in my opinion. Rhineland greetings

First of all, you should knock off all the loose plaster around it. Depending on how large the areas are, I would mix some smooth Roband plaster and plaster it. Of course, prime beforehand; that is more important when plastering than you might think. Do you know if a bonding primer was applied to your currently applied plaster? I would actually bet that this was not the case.

No, in my opinion even a professional wouldn’t be able to plaster it so that it doesn’t show.

Why do you say that? The top picture shows damage of about 5.6 cm in height – that can be fixed, even by a layperson!

On the one hand, every textured plaster – besides its composition – receives its own signature from the craftsman applying it; that is why these types of plaster are often applied room by room by different plasterers.

It is also *not* just one spot, but several, as the original poster explains. If you keep looking at one spot in the room that deviates from the usual execution, your eye will jump between multiple spots.

On the other hand, it is simply the case that textured plaster cannot be 'just' repaired like a normal Q3 plaster. Even if it is painted afterwards, the repair will always be noticeable. Try it yourself ;-)

I don’t have to – I already did! When it comes to invisible concealing, I agree with you. When it comes to fixing things so that the pests don’t get even worse or just getting it done so that it looks tidier, I would do it the way suggests.
