Just to let you know, Crack may reappear if there is movement in the joist and if it gets walked on above. Please feel free to leave a comment
Hi
I had a water leak from my bathroom
That went onto my dining room ceiling. It’s left a long crack
Should I get it repaired or Reboard whole ceiling?
Will the crack come back if fixed?
@@gabbysingh624 I would like to say, i would need to have a close look at it my freind. send me a freinds request on facebook if you want, then you can send me a picture on messenger and i will try to help.
my crack may have due to the plumber putting in water tank hopefully this will not happen again , i scrapped the crack then put polyfiller in it sanded with my mouse some places there was a crack so i got my filler tool and done another fill leave it to dry then light sand again then paint it with polycell crack free paint .. thanks
@@nigellewis8461 Great stuff buddie, all the best.
Thanks you made it look so easy ...and straight to the job.
Thankyou very much.
your tips are great after filling up my crack in the ceiling i sanded with a small black and decker mouse sander costing me £20 from a amazon far better instead of using a sanding block by hand thanks keep up your good work

@steve hardacre . Thankyou very much.
Just my two cents from repairing ceiling cracks. Standard method is New Zealand is to use paper tape over the crack and drive in a few more screws.I would definitely recommend using fibrefuse if you can get it. And then just float out the patch 👍
Thankyou for your input bud, have done that on a recent job.
Really good brother
@Madi Lee . Thanking you.
@@Inexteriors welcome
what a natural :D
@David Ellis . Thankyou.
I'm doing this job now but I also have patches where the paint has blistered, what would you recommend doing ? Great video by the way !
@Anglo B . This was a video that might help, it was one of my first videos so its a bit ropey lol, thanks for the kind comment. czcams.com/video/ksfGyk2LBFE/video.html
I have seen it to be quite common to fill and then use mesh tape over the crack and then remud over the tape. Whatever causes the cracks seem to recrack it anyway in a year or 2. Maybe the tape is supposed to prevent that?
Greg Davidson. I have seen it to bud, if there is movement i think it would crack again, some times things just need keeping on top of.
Hi can do the same with with dents right. I smashed end of weights on cealing so a lot of circle dents on my cealing. Due to loon neighbour. Have some old cracks to so will do as the video showed.
@delboy0909 . Yes you can providing they are dents and not holes lol.
@@Inexteriorsmate has made me ill. I bought a all in one gym to get fit. Thet are holes but dent hole filling should be fine. The loon makes put on noise 247. He was sectioned for 2 years before. Plus muggy rasta ne t door blaring music. I could but the biggest speakers going but have family below. Thanks for the reply anyway dude. I need some sort of set up where speakers on my bedroom walks but Bluetooth to my living room TV. When I play xbox I think I could be blaring that threw his flat. Anyway going to paint bedroom once I done the dents and cracked wall
@@delboy-su3wf I hear you there bud , we had a neighbours dog barking for hours upon hours. take care bud.
hey would htis work on like a split i have put in a liht fitting aht its kind of cracked towards it its like only 30 cm in length will the same thing work thanks
@L33T . You can give it a go, ideally i would need to see a picture of it.
Would you recommend using a scrim tape over the crack?
@Ben Wilkinson . It can can only improve it my freind.
No. It's rubbish.
Can you use pollyfilla?
Yes just make sure you fill it clean to make it easier for sanding.
I rake it out and v the crack and first I just used filler but it kept coming back so raked it all out again this time I made a hole about every 6 inches along the crack check in attic for cables or use a pointed old screwdriver to make the holes then I wet the holes with water down P V A and use expanding foam in the holes trim off the foam when set and push it in a little with sandpaper then use filler its been 2 years now and crack has not come back.
Sounds like you did an amazing job my freind.
Thank you@@Inexteriors
Aaaah, Bisto! 🤣
lol
Those cursed ceiling cacks! Would you advise acrylic filer/decorators caulk for hairline cracks as they are likely to return with normal filer? Hopefully the acrylic should flex.
@Aidan Duddy i like the easi fil stuff as it is so versatile, if there is movement above then i think anything you fill with will come back through, i think sometimes there are just things that need doing more often than others. Let me know what you end up using.
Caulk will just flash through the paint u will always see it
Did you have to paint the entire ceiling to blend it in? As I’ve found touching up with white paint always sticks out
@Jck142 . Hi there, yes i painted the full ceiling.
My name Is Steve , not a lot of people know that
@Rob 8 . Steven lol.
🤣. I wondered why the voice seemed familiar! 👍
I didn't think a lot of people new that. lol
Don’t need tape or mesh tape? Thanks
Some cracks may reappear over time if there is movement above the ceiling.
Did it crack again since you fixed it?
I have not seen it since to be honest, I know they walk above it so there will be movement.
Better than crack tape. That stuff sucks. Biggest disaster in history. All bubbles and falls off.
Also if there is movement the joints will crack again sometimes there is jobs we need to keep on top of every couple of years, nothing is full proof in this world all we can do is our best.
Don’t think they sell gyproc gypsum in the states.
Yes they do
@@timgerling6060 where?
Who else smelled it while he mixed? Just me? Ok
@Teresa Julian . Did you sneaze lol.
Where is the tap??lol
@Gilgamesh . Are you suggesting to flood the ceiling above lol
@@Inexteriors lol tape not tap stupid phone...
I usually use fiberglass mesh on jobs like this for long term results
@@gilgamesh2252 I see, lol I have had it said a few times bud.
