Quickly estimate your plastering costs per m² or ft². Calculate material & labour costs for walls, ceilings, or entire rooms with this plastering cost calculator.
Enter your measurements above to see the results.
The total area is as entered. Total material cost is area × number of coats × material cost per unit. Total labour cost is area × number of coats × labour cost per unit. Overall plastering cost is the sum of material and labour costs.
If plastering 40 m² of wall with 2 coats, labour cost is 12 GBP/m², and material cost is 5 GBP/m²: totalMaterialCost = 40 × 2 × 5 = 400 GBP, totalLabourCost = 40 × 2 × 12 = 960 GBP, overall plastering cost = 400 + 960 = 1360 GBP.
Simply select your unit system (metric or imperial), enter the total area to be plastered, specify the number of coats, and provide your local labour and material rates. The calculator will instantly show your total plastering costs.
