    Help needed with plasterboard corners please

    The old corner tapes are broken and will need to be removed. The best thing to do would be to fit a rigid galvanised thin coat corner bead, and have the corner/wall skimmed, a far nicer job and much stronger.. It wouldn't take a plasterer long to do a job like that. Get a couple of quotes...
