Hello
So, I was changing a back box from a single to a double in an external wall.
Unfortunately the previous back box had been nailed into place and the only way to remove the back box was to smash it with a hammer and lever it out. As a result some of the plaster has come away around the new back box as shown in the picture
The main area on the left-hand side of the image is around about half a centimetre to one centimeter deep... But in some places a little deeper.
The maybe some stuff around the right hand side of the image that you can't see that is breeze block and little plaster!
Would a simple bonding agent and then some layers of lightweight plaster do the job?
Although I want it to look relatively good this is hidden under a desk so it doesn't have to be perfect
Any advice gratefully received
