Hi This is part of my on-going bathroom renovation project, I'm gonna post it up in the 'Your Projects' forum.
I've removed the tiles on my bathroom wall and this has caused damage to the plasterboard in places so I've taken a lot of it off the studwall with the intention of replacing it.
Here's a picture;
Unfortunately there isn't a natural edge where the two pieces of board could join that would give me a nice straight alignment when I hang my replacement plasterboard alongside.
I'm reluctant to remove the plasterboard back to the architrave simply because I've never removed an architrave before.
I figure the best course is to cut the existing plasterboard to give as straight an edge as possible and then fit a tapered edge plasterboard alongside it and fill to make it level.
Is that the best course of action? If so can you advise on the best way to cut the existing board to give a straight edge while it's hanging. Are there any special tools of the trade?
EDIT - I forgot to mention that the plasterboard in the bathroom is all 15mm.
Cheers!
