A Nerang property manager needed a hole in a plaster wall fixed quickly. A plumber had opened it up during essential maintenance, and the room had to look right again for the tenant and the landlord.
I cut out the damaged area properly, fitted a new plaster patch, and did all the plastering and sanding needed for a smooth, level finish. Then I repainted the repaired section, feathering the edges and matching the colour to the wall around it.
The property manager was really pleased with how clean the wall looked afterwards.
How I patch a wall after a plumber or electrician
- Square up the access hole and add backing behind it.
- Fit a plasterboard patch flush with the wall.
- Tape, set and sand in several thin coats.
- Colour-match the paint and feather it out.
- Send the property manager before and after photos.
