How to repair plaster walls below cornice?

Hi I would like to repair these walls before painting. The plaster is cracked and has come away in some places. Should I use a plaster filler or a no more gaps filler?

Re: Repairing plaster walls below cornice.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Michelle17. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a crack in plaster.

 

You'll be using plaster filler for this crack. Check out this guide which will walk you through the steps: How to repair a water-damaged ceiling. The process will be much the same, and your crack is similar to the one I fix. You'll need to dig out the loose plaster around the crack to have a solid surface to apply the new plaster.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
