  • How to fix a hole in the ceiling plasterboard

    Can a ceiling plasterboard hole be repaired without replacing the board? It’s not massive, but it’s definitely noticeable, and I’d rather avoid cutting big sections out if there’s a cleaner fix that’ll still look decent once painted. Wondering also will this fix be something you can spot after a few months. Someone I told it about at work mentioned that I might have to replace the whole thing to get it looking right?!

    Can you paint of a water mark?

    We had our ceiling replastered recently, then a water leak happened. The plaster seems sound although it's heavily stained. Do you think it'll be ok and can we just paint over the stain?
