    If you have traditional materials, you may prefer Wet plastering It will offer better soundproofing and it will not cause any problems when attaching fixtures to walls. This method of plastering uses gypsum backings or cement renders that is applied to block work. It is simple to apply and will give your walls a durable, smooth finish.

    Rendering is different to plastering, because it is applied to external walls for a textured décor or smooth finish. To produce this you have to mix cement, sand and hydrated lime with water and a mortar plasticiser. Two coats of rendering has to be applied to your wall; the first is the scratch coat and the top coat is the second layer.

    The first coat will have to be left for 24 hours to dry properly. Once this is dry, the second coat can be applied and then ruled to flatten the surface of any little bumps. This can then be painted when it is fully dry.

    Handyman is going to charge around $100. Maybe a little more if he has to buy paint to match. Hopefully you have some paint leftover from the last time you painted the walls.

    Have a go at repairing it yourself. If you think it out carefully, follow notes as given by 'Dollar Bill' or look up Youtube.

    You would be amazed at what you can fix yourself if you go about it slowly and carefully.

    Just hire a handyman, not a contractor. They can have it repaired within a hour for about $50 or less. Hell, I would do it for $20 if I was your neighbor.
