About wall repairs after plumbing work
When a plumber needs to reach pipes inside a wall, they often cut an access hole in the plasterboard. Once the plumbing is done, the wall still needs to be closed in properly.
We fit new plasterboard into the opening, add backing where needed and set the joints so the wall is flat and ready for paint.
Common causes of this wall damage
- Leak detection and pipe repairs
- Tap, mixer and shower valve replacements
- New plumbing runs through existing walls
- Hot water and laundry plumbing changes
