Do you fix the cracked and damaged plaster too?

Yes. Neglected places usually have cracked, gouged or water-damaged plaster and GIB. We cut out and replace, skim coat and stop the damaged areas, fill the cracks properly, then prime and paint, so you get a repaired surface and not just paint over the problems.

Can you make a rough property liveable or rentable?

Yes, that is the bread and butter of this work. We take tired, neglected interiors and exteriors and bring them back to a clean, sound, lettable or liveable standard. The transformation on these jobs is usually the most dramatic of anything we do.

How much will a full transformation cost?

It depends entirely on the condition and the size, which is why we look through the property first. We give you a fixed written quote covering the repair work and the repaint, so you know the number before you commit, with no nasty surprises mid-job.

Do you cover the exterior as well as inside?

Yes. Neglected properties often need both, so we repair and repaint interiors and tackle the weathered exterior to lift it back to a sound, presentable standard across Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri.

Painting for As-Is-Where-Is Christchurch

Big transformations on rough properties

Intext Plaster & Paint takes on the as-is-where-is jobs other crews shy away from, across Christchurch City, Selwyn and Waimakariri. These properties are bought rough, full of cracks, damaged plaster, water marks and tired, neglected paintwork. We fix the surfaces first, cut out and replace failed plaster, skim and stop, fill the cracks, then deliver a full repaint inside and out. The result is a place dragged back from neglected to liveable, rentable or ready to sell, and the change is usually night and day.

Reviews

What Christchurch homeowners say

"Intext Plaster & Paint did the painting on our new build in Faringdon. Builder recommended them and I can see why. Clean lines on the ceilings, no overspray on the cedar accents, no callbacks. They were on site exactly when our builder said they would be, which apparently isn't normal."

"Got three quotes for repainting the weatherboard front and side of our place. Intext Plaster & Paint wasn't the cheapest but they walked through the flaking and prep issues no-one else had picked up. Crew turned up when they said, finished a day early, and the finish is genuinely better than what was there originally."

"We had a leak at the back of the house that turned into major exterior repairs, so the interior needed repainting once the builders were done. Intext Plaster & Paint handled the painting and were the easiest part of a stressful process. They flagged a couple of damp patches the builder hadn't fully dried out before they started, and the finish blends in perfectly with the rooms we didn't touch."

FAQs

Common questions.

We start with a proper walk-through and an honest scope. We tell you what needs repairing before any paint, what can be saved, and what the realistic transformation looks like. As-is-where-is properties hide surprises, so we price the repair and the repaint clearly rather than guessing low and hitting you with extras.

Tired, neglected places turned right around.
