Average cost for a plasterer (average)
The costs of a plasterer depend on the type of plasterwork, the surface and the condition of the surface. Smooth plaster costs on average 15 to 30 euros per m2, while decorative plaster such as spachtelputz costs 20 to 40 euros per m2. For an average living room you pay 400 to 1,200 euros. Plastering a complete home can easily cost 2,000 to 8,000 euros.
Smooth plaster is the most requested option and provides a smooth base for paint or wallpaper. Decorative plaster such as spachtelputz or granol has a decorative structure and no longer needs to be painted. Venetian stucco is a luxurious option with a marble-like effect and costs 40 to 80 euros per m2. Exterior plasterwork is more expensive (30-60 euros per m2) because weather-resistant materials are required.
A plasterer is necessary for new construction, renovation, or when you want to give walls or ceilings a new finish. A plasterer can also provide a solution for cracks in walls, moisture damage or the removal of textured paint. After plastering you have a perfectly smooth surface for painting or wallpapering.
