Hello!

I'm in the process of renovating my apartment and was removing the subfloor boards. When I pulled the trim that was there, the plastered wall/drywall came off, and as you can see in the pictures, there are quite large holes that I believe can't just be filled in. The simplest solution would be to install drywall from floor to ceiling, but the edge between the wall and ceiling is rounded, so that's not an easy solution either.

Now I'm wondering if you know how to do this, do you have any tips on how to fix this? Do you have any recommendations for a mason who could fix this (Skåne)?
 
  • Large hole in plaster wall beneath two pipes, surrounded by debris and broken wood, illustrating renovation issues with damaged underfloor area.
  • Damaged wall and floor corner with large holes and peeling plaster after removing trim during renovation. Debris is scattered on the wooden subfloor.
  • Damaged wall with a large crack and debris on the floor, including wooden planks and plaster remnants, in a renovation setting.
  • Damaged wall with plaster and drywall missing, resulting in large holes near the floor, showing underlying brick and debris scattered on the floor.

You can handle that yourself with plaster. Search here in the forum for "gipsputs" or "gipsbruk," and you'll find several threads.

Yep. Bought plaster mortar instead and mixed, tried in a little corner to see if it's good and if I can do it or hire someone!
 
  • A corner section of a wall with fresh plaster applied, showcasing a small renovation test area with tools and debris on the floor.
  • Corner of a room with freshly applied plaster render on walls, debris on the ground, and wooden beams visible, as part of a testing renovation process.
Gypsum plaster is a bit easier to handle, and that looks completely fine. It's good to dampen the surface a bit with a spray bottle first.
Keep in mind that plaster/gypsum plaster cannot be sanded, so make sure not to apply too much!
 
Just skimp a little and finish with regular finspackel.

That's exactly what I thought too. I applied a bit too little plaster, and then I will putty over it since you can sand putty. I'm going to check today when it has dried to see if it sticks well or not.

Keep in mind that if it is lime plaster, you should not use cement or kc (lime cement), only lime plaster; I think the regular kind is best, not hydraulic. Gypsum plaster probably works too...
