Do they look like the cracks line up where the plasterboard panels meet? Is it a loft above it?

Have you tried sinking a few screws up into the beams to prevent movement of the plasterboard?

As above. Trim away the blue and any loose plaster. Is the plan not to have to paint the bit of wall? If so you may need a thick edge of window sealant but try not to use silicone which is more for bathrooms. If you plan on painting the wall edges then use a paintable sealant or use some...

A bit of extra advice, when trying to get it corners with a brush it helps pressing down with the handle and extending the bristles as much as possible, then a turn of the wrist and the brush can get in to 90 degree angles.

Have used it loads of times, hundreds infact. I've pasted the wall but I find it easier to just use my table and paste the paper and hang straight away with zero soak time. I do tend to do behind radiators a lot which you obviously can't paste the wall without taking off. Most feature walls take...

Go round the edge with a bit of sand paper. Then you can re mist the edge. You could use some Leyland acrylic primer/ undercoat for a good bond. (Cheap enough) It's quite likely pva bonding.

I'm surprised the plasterer didn't tell you to use pva!

Maybe a new bath panel?

Thanks. I've battened the plinth in place so it can have pressure against it. The panel will go up into the bath lip but as it is geavy you are probably correct in that it may need more support. Luckily one end of the panel is hidden by the sink unit so I can probably just wedge that end to...

Hi. I'm fitting a decent weight bath panel with it's own seperate plinth. I have the plinth already in place and a side of frame. This is where the main panel will sit. It came with screws to attach the panel to the plinth but I was wondering if I could use magnets instead. If so, what sort of...

I'd guess the chasing would be done before the lining!

You can buy a 2000 grade double roll of lining paper from Toolstation for about £7. If done properly it will look like a plastered wall. Are you doing the work yourselves or getting professionals in? If you're getting a decorator in you hopefully won't see any joins. If doing it yourself and...

Should be fine.

That's good for the job if you don't mind leaving it to dry. A powder filler will be ready to sand much quicker if you want to get on.

That link just links to this site. You just need some powder filler for the holes and sand the bumps. If they're small bumps you can just tap them in with a hammer and then use powder filler on them.
