Hi,
I am moving house but a surveyor picked up a leaking pipe in the soil stack, which was causing rising damp in a couple of walls.
The leak is now fixed but need to get the wall fixed. The paint was cracking off and so we peeled most of the loose bits off with the aim to repaint/get someone in to repair.
My question is who do we need to contact to fix this or is it easy to fix myself? We have had a quote from a plasterer who has said he can replaster for £400 (it’s all paid for by the flat management company so not too bothered about price) - just want to make sure it would be easier to just repaint. Picture attached.
I am very new to DIY/home repairs so please feel free to speak to me like an idiot!
