Fixing a wall

[petro1head]

Hi

I have had to remove some of the plaster from a wall due to damp. The damp has been sorted and left to dry but now I need to make good.

Here is a photo of the area:


My intention is to buy a small piece of plaster and cut to the required shape.

What's the best way to fit this?

Thanks

What do you mean: "the damp has been sorted"? What damp, where?
What has been left to dry?
Your idea ref a piece of p/b wont work - you would end up too proud plus the damp in-situ p/b is recessed and not plumb.

There was a small amout of damp on the plasterboard due to water getting under the windows sill. The hold had beed repaired and then left to dry for a couple of weeks.

I removed about 15mm thickmess of old platerboard and rendering so a new piece of 15mm plasterboard will be fine
