Hi guys!
First post, i’m currently redoing the bathroom and need to board over the wall with where the shower is going to be so will have tiles on.
Heres my problem...1/4 of the old plasterboard is loose and has come off, so i’ve pulled some of the loose peices out and left the ‘solid’ sections in and fixed some 2”x1” to the brick in the gaps as fixing points for the new plasterboard.
I’ve come to screw part of the plasterboard into the 2”x1” and into the old plasterboard, firstly the screws arn’t taking to either plasterboard, i’m using drywall screws (30mm)...should I rawlplug them first and are the screws big enough?
Secondly the 2”x1” sits about 3mm to deep than the old plasterboard.
What would be your honestly decision on what to do here?
