How to fix a ceiling crack. Filling a ceiling crack.

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

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

great help thank you

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.

Very nice explanation

Aaaah, Bisto! 🤣

Don’t need tape or mesh tape? Thanks

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 👍

Ima try this today .

Better than crack tape. That stuff sucks. Biggest disaster in history. All bubbles and falls off.

Who else smelled it while he mixed? Just me? Ok

Where is the tap??lol

Did it crack again since you fixed it?

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?

Really good brother

can you advise any infill produced by Tikurilla it is the only available brand

Many thanks.

My name Is Steve , not a lot of people know that

Don’t think they sell gyproc gypsum in the states.

Nice vid Steven and a nice repair.Cheers.

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.

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 !

The best video that I've seen - you've got yourself a new subbie!

Nice work made to look easy !

Very good explanation. Thanks

what a natural :D

Did you have to paint the entire ceiling to blend it in? As I’ve found touching up with white paint always sticks out

Very good mate

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.

Would you recommend using a scrim tape over the crack?

Excellent.Well done Sir.

Thank you Sir, very helpful.

Thanks you made it look so easy ...and straight to the job.

Can you use pollyfilla?

Thanks for sharing
