Wall Plastering: How much does it cost?

Plastering a wall costs on average 49 € per square meter.

Prices generally range between 28 and 70 €/m².

Before installing wallpaper or tiles in a new building, walls must be plastered. A smooth surface is the basis for a flawless finish later.

In addition to material costs, the tiler/labor costs must be considered. On average, a worker needs about 20 minutes per m² for plastering.
