How to fix cracks from plaster settling?

alliebird

Hi,

I’ve moved into a new house and have noticed a few cracks as per photos. A few along the baseboard trim attached to the wall. How would be the best ways to work through these? The house is about 25 years old. The B&P report said it’s mainly plaster settling

Thanks,

Hello @alliebird 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about plastering.

For the skirting boards I suggest looking at this discussion - How to fill gaps in skirting boards? by @Glenn83. For the cornice I recommend this discussion - How to repair a cracked cornice. In regards to the gap in your walls, I suggest using Selleys 475g No More Gaps Interior Multipurpose Gap Filler. The discussions I've mentioned will give you a general idea of what steps you'll need to take to repair the gaps you're seeing on your wall.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
