Question 1

How much does wall crack repair cost?

Accepted Answer

Single hairline crack on one wall: $150-250 incl. paint touch-up. Multiple cracks in one room: $250-400. Whole-room repair + repaint: $300-550. Water-damage cracks (sealer + filler + primer + repaint): $280-500. We quote on WhatsApp from a photo.

Question 2

Are wall cracks dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Most aren't — 90% are cosmetic (settlement, paint contraction, minor flex). The ones that ARE dangerous: structural cracks wider than 3mm running diagonally across multiple walls or doors, or actively widening over time. If you're worried, send us a photo and we'll tell you honestly whether it's cosmetic or needs a structural inspection.

Question 3

How long does the repair take?

Accepted Answer

Single small crack: 1-2 hours (mostly drying time between filler + paint). Multiple cracks in a room: half-day. Whole-room with rough surfaces: full day. Water-damage repair: half-day to full day depending on extent.

Question 4

Will the crack come back?

Accepted Answer

Hairline + settlement cracks: maybe, slowly, over 3-7 years as the building continues to settle. Flexible filler (which we use) handles this better than rigid filler. Water-damage cracks: only if the underlying water source returns — fix that and the repair holds indefinitely. Active structural cracks: yes, painting over them doesn't stop the movement.

Question 5

Do I need to match the existing paint colour exactly?

Accepted Answer

Yes ideally. Bring us a photo of the wall in good light and we'll tint to match. Some walls have years of fading/discolouration — perfect match isn't always possible, in which case we'd suggest painting the whole wall (or just the section to the next corner) to hide the seam.

Question 6

Can you fix water-stained ceilings too?

Accepted Answer

Yes — same process: source-fix first (often leak from the unit above — different scope), then sealer for the stain, then primer, then paint. Bathroom + kitchen ceiling stains are most common. $200-350 per ceiling depending on stain area.

Question 7

What if you find structural issues?

Accepted Answer

We document with photos, give you a written diagnosis explaining why it's beyond cosmetic, and refer you to a structural engineer (we have a couple we work with). We don't charge for the visit if all we did was diagnose + refer.

Question 8

Can you just touch up one spot — not the whole wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes — spot repair on the cracked area only, with a feathered paint blend to the surrounding wall. Works well on textured walls + medium colours. On dark or recently-painted walls the seam can still show — we'll be honest before starting.
