Hi, does anyone know how much a plasterer charges please? I have 5 power point holes in a wall and the holes from 4 speakers on my ceiling to be patched and plastered.
A friend's son is doing it and I would like to pay him. Although he is a qualified plasterer, he no longer works in the field, just does odd jobs for the family.
So any suggestions on what I should offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This is probably more of DIY job, so don't go paying tradie rates to your friend. Youtube will see you get the whole job done in under an hour, and <$20 materials.
But if i had to pay someone — maybe $50?
edit: i've assumed they're gyprock walls.
$200
Ask the father or the son?
He didn't quote you?
$50 ph would be fair - that would cover time and materials
This, don't be one of those people who expect everything for next to nothing. The guy could probably be earning at least this rate by working elsewhere.
$50p/h is bang on the money. With a 2hr minimum charge. $100 should cover it.
$150
$100
You should pay at least a day laborer wage, which is $300 a day.
Thanks for everyone's input. It's taken 50 mins to plaster and the use of his materials. Coming back to sand in a couple of days. So I will see what he says. I just didn't want to be taking advantage of my friends son.
You may be simply you but don't change : you're a good bloke .
If I cant be stuffed and got someone else to do it, I'd be happy to pay $200 for the 5 holes if done well (ie. Seamless save the paint).
Two fiddy
Enough beer to get him plastered.
A slab - don't tradies on the slab bartering system?
Some good plasterers won't come out for less than a $300 job.
I would offer $100 and a couple of beverages. He wouldn't take the money but would most definitely get plastered on the free beverages.I would have to drive him home and we would call it even.
plastered
Excuse the pun
No excuse required. Pun was intentional:D
Beer and Pizza…
