I had a kitchen cupboard that has been up on the wall for 18 months, it came off the wall, because it had been loaded up with too much weight. The metal plates the cupboard was on have ripped a hole out of the plasterboard. (see below).
I'm planning on replacing the 1000mm cupboard, since it's suffered a bit of damage and with 2 x 500mm ones. And in an ideal world, want to remount in the same place as it's a row of cupboards along that wall.
I'm doubt I'll be able to just patch the holes and mount the two smaller cupboards.
I'm looking for a decent idea to fix, and is sensible, so please tell me if these are daft,rubbish, etc.
Do I patch the holes and then re-mount all the cupboards on the wall about 4-5 inches higher that they currently are?
Would replacing a section of plasterboard from roof to worktop be a good way to go, or would I be better doing floor to ceiling?
Any advice welcome
Thanks
