Make the switch to Pro Plaster where sub-contractors win
Share this article
At Pro Plaster, we understand that switching products is a big decision. You've got a system that works, projects to complete, and can't afford any surprises.
We recognise that small to medium sized independent sub-contractors need two things—the highest quality compounds and a partner who understands their business
That's why we offer superior quality plaster compound that makes your job easier. Our compounds are creamier, smoother, and faster to apply. They offer consistent performance across different plasterboards that deliver a professional plastering finish every time.
They also perform consistently when applied to the liner paper of all the major manufacturers of plasterboard in Australia and New Zealand.
Pro Plaster gives the sub-contractor a ‘peace of mind’ by providing full warranties on all our compounds when they are used on manufacturer's liner paper. When you have a customer base of very skilled sub-contractors using quality Pro Plaster compounds the result is always a professional plastering finish every time.
We're not just another supplier. We’re a 100% Australian owned and made independent manufacturer. As such, our commitment goes beyond the product with personalised service that includes regular check-ins, proactive business support, and a genuine interest in your success.
Our presence in market disrupts the ‘traditional’ compound marketplace where multinational suppliers set the price and pace for Australia. By breaking tradition, we ensure compounds and supplies remain affordable and accessible for independent subbies like you.
Switching to Pro Plaster means choosing an Australian-owned company that's focused on your success. We're innovative, responsive, and dedicated to providing solutions that help your business grow.
With us, you're not just buying a product—you're gaining a committed partner who has your back.
A Plasterer's Perspective: Why Pro Plaster is the Preferred Choice
Complete Fixset Plastering is a Canberra-based plastering business with 23 years of experience.
Owner Kevan Watt, who started in the industry at 17, and his team work with top local builders, handling plasterboard, steel stud frames, and suspended ceilings to create homes and spaces made to last.
Kevan chooses Pro Plaster for stock reliability, consistent quality and superior finish that meets both his professional standards and his customers' expectations.
“I like Pro Plaster products because they are never out of product, they always have all the stock in, so you always know it's there,’ he said.
“The consistency of the plaster is really good. We use the Pro Base 40, Pro Base 60, and Pro base 90, and it's just real consistent.
“It's also easy to mix up. When you mix it, it mixes really good, creamy, and towards the end, it goes off real quick. So, when you're doing, say, externals, you can scrape them as soon as it's dry and it doesn't fluff up like some of the other product.”
According to Kevan, Pro Plaster’s Hamilton all-purpose compound sands "just perfect"—it doesn't scratch easily, doesn't sand too deeply, and maintains the base layer well.
“Unlike some other products that create fine scratches or sand too aggressively, Pro Plaster provides an ideal sanding experience that prepares the surface for painting. It’s just more efficient for us,” he said.
“It's very important to use the right product. And I like when people hear about Complete Fixset they know they are going to get a good product at the end of the job. Customers are always happy.”
Perfected by Australian Plasterers for Australian conditions
Pro Plaster is the only Australian-owned and operated manufacturer that specialises solely in the production of high-quality wet and dry compounds. We manufacture from our state-of-the-art plant located in Queensland, and develop and test all our products in-house for Australian conditions.
We take our work seriously and are the only Australian manufacturer who work directly with plasterers to gather feedback to improve our compounds. This feedback comes directly from the subbies using our compounds every day.
Through regular sales visits, monthly check-ins, and ongoing conversations, we get real-world insights into how our products perform on actual job sites.
This experience is our most valuable tool for innovation, and we're committed to staying connected to the real-world needs of subbies.
We know the large corporates treat sub-contractors as just a number on a spreadsheet, focusing on volume and shareholder returns. Pro Plaster does the opposite: we see you as a valued partner, prioritising personal relationships, direct communication, and your individual business success.
Our approach is about understanding your specific needs.
When you need a quick turnaround or something unexpected comes up on a project, working with Pro Plaster means you are never left waiting.
Improved availability and accessibility
Accessibility is a key focus for us. We understand that whether you're a one-person operation or a growing business, you need reliable access to high-quality plaster supplies and plastering tools.
Our distribution network ensures our compounds are available through multiple channels—company stores as well as independent distributors, with flexible purchasing options.
For Kevan and the team at Complete Fixset Plastering, Direct Plasterboard Outlet (DPO) has been their reliable supplier ensuring they get the right Pro Plaster products to match their jobs and requirements.
DPO is just one of hundreds of distributors across our network nationwide that ensures subbies have reliable access to the plastering products they need to get the job done.
This approach means you can purchase the exact quantity you need, when you need it, without facing minimum order requirements or complex procurement processes. Whether you're picking up a few buckets for a small job or stocking up for a major project, we make it simple.
Our distributors are equipped to serve you, with competitive pricing and responsive support that puts your needs first.
