How to patch a hole in bathroom wall?

Hi team

 

My builder had to break a new tile to swap the mixer and spout position. When he patched it up (not waterproofed yet), it looks like this. Is this right? Not sure if he used a new plasterboard to cover the hole. Please advise..

That’s terrible @Nailbag , sorry to hear about your stone benchtop. Did you manage to get it fixed?

 

Thanks for the recommendation. We might have to go with that. Will suggest to the builder.

Hi @renie 

 

It's great that you've received excellent advice from @Nailbag. Just to add to the recommendations made, I suggest using PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste. It is a putty filler that you can mould into the space of the cracked section. Once it cures you can sand it down and paint the surface in the same colour tone as the tile. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @renie 

 

I sealed the crack and had to cover it with a decorative mat. Otherwise a $900 new top
