Pocster Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I did the boarding and whilst a bit out I can’t believe I was this far out . As you can see the square corner twists as it gets lower to the floor . As I plan an upstand tile at the base it will either be on the piss or have a chunky 10mm gap at one end . If I leave this can a plasterer fix this ? I.e straighten the edge and blend in ? . As said at least 10mm out at the base ; too much for a plasterer to correct ?

joe90 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I would be tempted to knock the beading off this corner and re set it correctly square and fill the majority with bonding and get a new skim put on. But @nod will be along shortly to tell you the correct way to do this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The lesson from this is check it is square BEFORE the plasterer comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Get yourself a couple of bevel gauges in different sizes, for this sort of thing for sure. Very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
