How to repair chipped internal corner wall?

I have just moved into a new place and a heap of my internal corner walls are chipped. How can I fix this?

Re: repair chipped internal corner wall

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Griffo701. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a chipped corner.

It doesn't appear that much more than paint was covering that corner, and I feel that applying any type of filler would likely cause more problems than it solved. I'd suggest lightly sanding the corner with some 400-grit sandpaper to remove any rough edges of the plaster/paint, priming the corner and then applying a topcoat of paint. The repaired section on the corner might be noticeable due to it being new paint, so it's always worth considering painting the adjacent walls as well for a consistent finish.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
