Your full post content here...If you are building a home, office, restaurant or factory in Dhaka, Chattogram or Gazipur, you have probably seen the raw, modern concrete look on walls and ceilings. That look is called fair face finish, and the first question every owner asks is simple: what is the fair face plaster price in Bangladesh in 2026?
In short, fair face plaster price in Bangladesh in 2026 usually ranges from about Tk 120 to Tk 250 per square foot for standard residential and commercial work. Premium textured or designer finishes can reach Tk 250 to Tk 450 per square foot. The final rate depends on surface condition, height, finish quality, sealer type and project size.
This guide explains every cost factor so you can compare quotations confidently and avoid hidden charges.
What Is Fair Face Plaster?
Fair face plaster, also called fair face concrete finish or exposed concrete finish, is a wall and ceiling treatment that keeps the natural grey texture of concrete or cement. Instead of covering the surface with putty and paint, the surface is repaired, smoothed, graded and then protected with a clear sealer or a protective coat.
People choose it for four reasons:
- Modern industrial look that suits cafes, offices, showrooms and duplex homes.
- Lower maintenance because there is no paint to peel or fade.
- Durability in humid Bangladesh weather when properly sealed.
- Long-term savings since repainting cycles are removed.

Fair Face Plaster Price in Bangladesh 2026 (Per Square Foot)
| Finish type | Estimated price (Tk per sq ft) | Best for |
| Basic fair face plaster with clear sealer | 120 – 160 | Boundary walls, factories, warehouses |
| Standard smooth fair face finish | 160 – 220 | Residential interiors, offices |
| Premium textured / designer fair face | 220 – 320 | Cafes, restaurants, showrooms |
| High-end architectural exposed concrete | 320 – 450 | Villas, boutique commercial projects |
These are market-based estimates. A site inspection is the only way to give a fixed quotation, because every wall is different.
Key Factors That Decide Fair Face Plaster Cost
1. Surface condition
A clean, even shuttering surface needs little preparation. Honeycombing, cracks, form marks or old paint increase labour and repair material, which pushes the rate up.
2. Type of finish
A plain grey finish costs less than a board-marked, sand-textured or stamped finish. The more artistic the texture, the higher the skilled labour cost.
3. Sealer and protective coating
A good sealer protects the concrete from stains, moisture and algae. Water-based clear sealers are affordable. Premium solvent-based or PU-based protective coats cost more but last longer, especially on exterior walls.
4. Working height and access
Work above 10 feet requires scaffolding or a cradle. Ceilings, double-height walls and facades add access cost.
5. Project size
Large projects such as factories and apartment buildings get a lower per sq ft rate. Small jobs under 300 sq ft often carry a minimum charge.
6. Location
Projects in Dhaka, Gazipur, Narayanganj, Savar and Chattogram are common for our crews. Remote locations may include transport and accommodation costs.
Fair Face Plaster vs Normal Cement Plaster and Paint
Many owners compare fair face with traditional wall finishing. Here is a realistic view over a 10-year period.
| Factor | Fair face finish | Cement plaster + putty + paint |
| Upfront cost | Medium | Medium |
| Repainting | Not required | Every 3 to 5 years |
| Moisture resistance | High with sealer | Medium, paint peels |
| Look | Modern, raw, premium | Standard |
| 10-year cost | Lower | Higher |
Fair face usually becomes the cheaper option over a decade because you skip repeated repainting.
What Is Included in a Good Fair Face Quotation?
Before you accept any quotation, make sure it clearly lists:
- Surface cleaning and defect repair
- Number of coats and sealer brand
- Scaffolding and equipment
- Waste removal
- Warranty period
- Timeline and payment schedule
A very low price often means skipped preparation or diluted sealer, and the wall will stain within months.
Materials Used in Fair Face Finishing
Professional contractors use polymer-modified repair mortar, fine cement-based skim coats, anti-carbonation coatings and breathable sealers. In wet areas, pairing the finish with waterproofing solutions prevents damp patches and efflorescence, which is a major concern during monsoon.
Fair Face Plaster for Different Projects
Homes and duplexes: Feature walls, staircase walls and ceilings. Typical project size 300 to 1,500 sq ft.
Restaurants and cafes: Textured finish combined with polished floors for a complete industrial theme. See our Polished Concrete service for matching floors.
Offices and showrooms: Smooth grey walls with brand lighting. Pair with vinyl flooring for acoustic comfort.
Factories and warehouses: Basic fair face with protective coats for faster maintenance. Combine with epoxy flooring solutions for the floor.
How to Reduce Fair Face Plaster Cost Without Losing Quality
- Plan the finish before the concrete casting so that good shuttering reduces repair work.
- Group all walls into one phase to benefit from bulk rates.
- Choose a breathable sealer instead of over-specifying expensive coatings for interior walls.
- Ask for a sample panel (mock-up) of 20 to 30 sq ft before approving the full job.
- Compare quotations on scope, not just price.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Hiring a painter instead of a specialist fair face contractor.
- Skipping the sealer to save money.
- Ignoring moisture sources like leaking pipes or roof seepage.
- Not approving a sample panel.
- Choosing a contractor who gives no written warranty.
Maintenance Tips
Wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid acid-based cleaners. Re-apply sealer on exterior walls every 3 to 4 years and interior walls every 5 to 7 years.
