Summary: Filling cracks in walls, ceilings, floors, timber windows, frames and doors.
We get a great many questions regarding filling cracks in all materials, of all shapes and sizes. Fortunately there is a filler for just about every occasion so here is a list of them. Click on the images below to buy
For fine, internal, surface cracks, mostly in plaster, fine surface filler is usually the answer. Fine filler can be applied with a sponge to force it into small cracks and then sanded very lightly with a fine grit sandpaper.
For larger holes use One Strike lightweight filler. One Strike Filler is a revolutionary filler formulated using lightweight polymer bubbles that fills most holes and cracks, even deep holes, in just one quick application with no need for secondary filling to level off as One Strike will not shrink, sag or crack. One Strike Filler finishes smooth, requiring little or no sanding and can be ready to paint or wallpaper in approximately 30 minutes. One Strike Filler can be used for repairs to plaster, wood, brick, stone and rendering.
There are many types of wood filler and most depend on the colour of the wood. They are available in all timber colours or simply just light and dark. The multi purpose wood filler below is applied easil;y with an applicator gun and can be sabnded down and stained.
External timber has a special two-part filler which is rock hard in about 30 minutes, can be sanded, screwed, nailed and planed.
For ceiling or other cracks which, up until now, have opened up time and time again, its probably best to use a flexible filler coming in the shape of this decorators caulk. An applicator gun is required to apply this filler which can be used internally or externally. Decorators caulk is like flexible pollyfiller in a tube, can be squeezed into corners and tidied up by wetting your finger and running it over the bead of filler.
