Plastering Accessories

Plastering accessories are the essential tools and supporting products that help you achieve smooth, durable wall and ceiling finishes. From mixing equipment and application tools to protective gear and finishing aids, these items ensure your plasterwork meets professional standards every time. Having the right accessories on hand transforms a challenging job into a manageable one, whether you're skimming a single room or tackling a full renovation.

Our Range of Plastering Tools and Accessories

McMahons stocks a comprehensive selection of plastering essentials designed for both trade professionals and confident DIYers.

  • Mixing baths, trays, and buckets - heavy-duty plastic mixing containers for preparing plaster, render, and mortar mixes on site. Available in a range of capacities, these robust mixing vessels are an essential practical tool for any plastering or rendering job, providing a clean, stable mixing environment and easy pouring.
  • Render accelerator - a liquid admixture added to render and plaster mixes to speed up the initial set, useful in cold weather conditions or where faster turnaround between coats is required on site.
  • Kilsaran PRO glass fibre reinforcing mesh - two options of alkali-resistant fibreglass mesh for embedding in external render and insulation systems, reinforcing the render coat to prevent cracking and improve the long-term durability of the finish. The Kilsaran PRO range is designed for use in External Wall Insulation (EWI) and standard render systems where structural reinforcement of the surface coat is required.

Pair these tools with our full range of Plastering Materials for a complete project solution, or explore Metal Studding & Beads for reinforced edges and clean corner details.

Selecting the right tools depends on the scale of your project and the type of plaster you're using. Stainless steel trowels suit most finishing work, while plastic floats work better for textured renders. Consider ergonomic handles if you're working on larger areas to reduce hand strain.
