Common Wall Damage in Dover? We Fix It All

Plasterboard Damage? We Fix It Properly

Whether you're in a Victorian terrace near Dover's historic centre or a modern Whitfield development, plasterboard damage is more than just an eyesore - it's a potential structural risk. Impact marks, water damage, and everyday wear can quickly turn a small issue into a major repair job.

From door handle dents in Maison Dieu properties to water damage from coastal humidity, Dover homes face unique plasterboard challenges. Impacts from moving furniture, kids' play, or accidental bumps can create unsightly holes and cracks that compromise your wall's integrity. Moisture from our maritime climate can seep into damaged areas, causing rot and weakening the entire board.

What Dover Customers Say

★★★★★

"The Patch Doctor saved me after a nightmare bathroom leak left a massive water stain and sagging plasterboard. Mike turned up promptly, assessed the damage quickly, and had the whole section replaced within three hours. I was worried about disruption, but he was incredibly neat - you'd never know there'd been any damage. The repair is perfectly smooth, and he even matched the paint colour exactly. Fantastic service, and far cheaper than I expected for such a precise job. Highly recommended for anyone in Dover with plasterboard issues."

"My teenage son managed to punch a massive hole in the living room partition while moving furniture. I wasn't looking forward to an expensive repair, but The Patch Doctor sorted it out brilliantly. They came out same-day, cut a perfect replacement section, and blended it so seamlessly you can't tell there was ever any damage. The price was reasonable, and they were in and out within two hours. No mess, no fuss - exactly the professional service you want. These guys really know their craft."

Want an exact quote? Just send us a photo of the damage to info@thepatchdoctor.co.uk and we'll provide a precise estimate.
Can you repair water damaged plasterboard? +
Water damage is a common issue in Dover's varied housing, especially in older properties around the town centre and near the seafront. We absolutely can repair water-damaged plasterboard, but there's a crucial first step - identifying and fixing the moisture source. Whether it's a leaking roof from an Edwardian villa in Maison Dieu or a burst pipe in a modern Whitfield home, we won't simply cover up the problem. Our process involves thoroughly investigating the water ingress, recommending necessary repairs to prevent future damage, and then replacing the affected plasterboard. In CT15, CT16, and CT17 areas, we've seen everything from minor damp patches to significant water damage. We'll remove all compromised board, treat any potential mould, install new moisture-resistant plasterboard, and ensure a perfect finish. Prices for water damage repairs start at £250, depending on the extent of the damage. Our team uses professional-grade materials that resist future moisture problems, giving you peace of mind.
How big a hole can you repair? +
At The Patch Doctor, we handle plasterboard repairs of all sizes across Dover's diverse housing stock. From tiny nail holes in Victorian terraces to substantial wall damage in post-war council estates, no repair is too small or too large. Our skilled team can patch holes as tiny as a 10p coin or replace entire plasterboard sheets in properties throughout CT15, CT16, and CT17 postcodes. For small holes under 15cm, we'll use professional repair techniques involving mesh, filler, and precise skimming. Medium-sized damage might require cutting out the damaged section and installing a new backing board. Large holes or significant wall sections get a complete sheet replacement, matching the existing wall precisely. We bring all necessary materials - different board thicknesses, screws, scrim tape, and professional-grade fillers. Whether you're in a modern Whitfield development or a historic property near the castle, we guarantee a seamless, invisible repair that looks like the damage never happened. Our prices range from £120 for small patches to £450 for extensive work.
How long does plasterboard repair take? +
Repair time varies depending on the damage and your Dover property's specifics. A small patch in a CT15, CT16, or CT17 postcode home might take just 2-3 hours. Medium repairs in Edwardian villas or Victorian terraces typically require a full day, including preparation, boarding, and initial skimming. Larger repairs could span 1-2 days, especially if water damage or structural issues are involved. We always factor in crucial drying time - typically 24-48 hours before painting, depending on humidity and room conditions. Dover's coastal environment can affect drying times, so we're experienced in managing moisture levels. Our process includes: initial assessment, preparing the area, removing damaged board, installing new plasterboard, applying scrim tape, filling, sanding, and preparing for final decoration. We work efficiently in properties across Dover, from modern Whitfield homes to historic castle-area buildings. We'll provide a precise timeline during our free quote, ensuring minimal disruption to your home.
Do you supply the materials? +
Absolutely! We bring everything needed for a professional plasterboard repair across Dover's diverse properties. Our fully stocked van carries a range of plasterboard types and thicknesses to match different walls in CT15, CT16, and CT17 areas. Whether we're working on a Victorian terrace, an Edwardian villa, or a modern Whitfield development, we're prepared with professional-grade materials. This includes various plasterboard sheets, moisture-resistant boards for bathrooms and kitchens, different screw types, mesh tape, joint compound, and corner beads. We select materials specific to each property's requirements - thicker boards for load-bearing walls, specialized moisture-resistant boards near bathrooms, and standard boards for typical internal walls. Our prices include all materials, so there are no surprise charges. From small patches to full sheet replacements, we arrive fully equipped. This means no waiting around for materials, no additional trips, and a completely professional finish. Our goal is a seamless repair that looks like the damage never happened.
How quickly can you get to Dover? +
