How to repair broken leg of a buffet table?

Hi, one of our customers complained about one of the legs being chipped of/broken off from his dining buffet. One of our movers was trying to prep it but when he lifted it to the side, the leg broke off. I understand the bottom of the buffet table is made of plaster board. The customer called the shop where he bought the buffet from and the service agent said it is just best to replace the entire plaster board at the bottom, this is also what one of our contacts said who owns a furniture repair shop. I was wondering if we did the repair ourselves, could you please help me on how to replace the plasterboard at the bottom at how we would put back the leg? The owner of the furniture repair shop even said he would put plywood over the plasterboard to make it more stronger and then put back the broken leg. But the  wouldn't we have to remove all the other legs as well when replacing the plasterboard? Please help.
