Hello!
I'm wondering if this is a difficult project for an amateur:
The tiles on the drywall are difficult to take down without damaging parts of the wall. The total area is approximately 1400 mm in length x 600 mm in height. If I would cut/saw out a whole piece.

I have heard that with a utility knife you cut away the damaged section with the tiles on it, assuming a whole piece. And then mount a new drywall on short pieces (wooden studs behind)? I see that it's nailed, which I assume are wooden studs in certain places from before. I can't find any information on how to repair larger sections of drywall.

Is this something I should hire a professional for or could I manage to do it myself?

Damaged drywall with broken tiles partially removed, showing exposed wall section and yellow backing.
Damaged plasterboard with missing tiles, exposing underlying structure. The wall is cracked and chipped, revealing possible wood behind.

You do just as you say; cut out a large hole, use kottlar, and place a new piece of plasterboard in. Personally, I would never hire someone for something like that and would fix it myself, but that's just me..

 
My disc is much larger but maybe it's the same principle? If it fails, I guess I'll have to call in some expertise.

Same principle. In the worst case, you have to replace the whole plasterboard, which might even be easier!

But you have to be careful, I thought just like that, but what I didn't account for was that the wall was built with 9mm plasterboard which is no longer sold, so I ended up replacing quite a bit :sleep:
 
Seems to be a slab approximately 10 mm thick

Sincerely
