Hiya,
We have a hole next to our shower where it leaked and damaged the plaster.
The leak has been fixed and the wall is dry.
The damaged area is about 50mm x 50mm and 20mm deep. So think it is too deep for normal filler.
My plan was to square cut out the damaged area with a cold chissel.
And then use something like this sandable foam adhesive to stick an off-cut of plasterboard. Then use filler to fill any remaining gaps and sand down/paint.
Thought this might be a better approach than buying big bags of mortar and plaster? - But open to advice from those who know better!
