DIY - interior textured walls

If it’s a small area Leroy Merlins do a spray on coating but it’s expensive €14 a tin I think and doesn’t go far I mixed a small amount of mortar/plaster filled it then when it started to go off stomped it with a stiff brush to a decent match once painted couldn’t really tell otherwise you have to get some one in with a compressor and a hopper spray attachment to do it 

Hope that helps 

Yes, you can do it yourself as the previous poster said. There is a brush with what look like long flexible rubber matches on the end.

You dip that in some soft plaster mix and flick it at the wall. I watched a plasterer do it in my own house. There is a knack to it but perseverance will win the day. One thing I will say is that you need to flick from all directions or the finish will look good from the left but maybe not so good looking from the right

the spray you need is Gotele but buy it from a proper paint or hardware store not Leroy Merlin.  I have just used Dupli-colour, €14.99 per can, which worked very well. I bought from the paint shop in San Pedro on the N332.

They also sell it at obramart camposol paints on sector B and Leroy’s el Pareton most diy shops but be aware that the stippling from the paint is very small and also shrinks in size after you’ve sprayed it as it dries 😜

For small patches, I’ve had good luck dabbing on a bit of ready-mixed filler with a sponge, letting it dry, then lightly sanding before paint so it blends with the bumps. Matching the sponge texture is half the game. I used emersonproservices.com for some heavier repairs at my place, and after watching how neatly they blended surfaces, I copied their light-touch approach for small DIY spots.

I had a similar headache last year, and what helped was getting gutter installation and cleaning in Dallas TX so a pro could check for hidden drainage issues. They did a full inspection, fixed a small leak I didn’t even notice, and set up a simple maintenance plan that kept things from getting worse. It saved me from dealing with bigger water damage down the road.
