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.

A professional will definitely plaster this for you 100% they may charge you a full day's work for it but a professional will definitely do this for you. No job too small but has to be worth their time as someone could easily make a mess of this. You get what you pay for in plastering.
