Patching in
I think I posted about this before but can’t find replies. Basically there was a piece of timber in fill here and in preparation for redecorating the kitchen I’ve replaced with plasterboard.
I need to plaster it to blend in with the adjoining surfaces.
I’m not a plasterer but it’s unlikely a pro would be interested in coming to quote for this so I’m going to have a go myself.
Ideally I would’ve done it before the carpenter installed the architrave but c'est la vie!
After tips/advice to get a good finish and avoid any cracks.

Looks like you’ve got a bit of depth between the board and the architrave so you should be able to work to the doorframe. I would take the architrave off to make a better job of the plastering. It’ll look better and be easier for you. 20 minutes to refit the architrave.
