Help - holes!

Post by Chris101 »

Hi

I have removed old tiles from kitchen. However, some of the plasterboard has come away with the tiles. Most is ok and can be tiled over, however there are two or three largish holes of irregular size. The hole is around 15 inches long and around 3 inches deep. ANy suggestions on best thing to do before tiling again

Cut back the plasterboard until you reach a stud and screw a new piece in.
