Can You Touch up Plaster

Small cracks can be repaired using an appropriate flexible filler (like the Ronseal one below), then sanded to a smooth finish. Larger patches of damaged or loose plaster will require re-plastering to obtain a suitable surface for decorating or painting over.

Can I patch plaster with drywall?

Even though plaster walls aren’t framed to accommodate drywall, you can usually screw drywall to the wooden lath that supports the plaster. Finishing the edges of the repair with tape and joint compound makes the outlines of the patch disappear.
