Plaster hold in bathroom

[renie]

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..

Hi @renie,

Thank you for your question.

If you gently poke your finger through the hole around the plumbing, does the sheet feel about 6-9mm thick? If you poke the centre of the patch, does it feel solid?

It looks like they've done the correct thing and attached a new piece of fibre cement sheeting then taped and plastered the joins. This would obviously need to be waterproofed over, but it looks like it has been done correctly up to this point.

I think it's important to note that the job is not yet finished. Understandably, looking at that patch you might be concerned, but it is one step in the process towards a finished product.

Allow me to tag @Nailbag and @Dave-1 for their thoughts and opinions.

Let me know what you think.

Jacob
