What would be the best way to redo this part of the wall. It is back to no plaster in some parts.

Any help appreciated

Just one thread per topic please. I've merged both of yours.

When completely dry, sand it down and remove any loose bits. Fill where needed with a good quality filler like Toupret. I always use a powder filler rather than premixed. When that dries, sand again and refill where neccessary. When you are happy with the surface, paint with Zinser Bullseye 123 then whatever paint you want to finish.

For the filler will gyproc easi-fill be OK before painting with zinser 123?
