How to fix plaster around powerpoint?

Hey Team, I would need help in fixing by plastering the wall around the switch board. Also the switch board is working but wobbly, So I am assuming there would be some kind of bracket that needs to hold it before plastering.

Re: switch board plastering and fixing

Hi @Vivek_ch,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

 

Unfortunately, as the power point is not correctly fixed in place, you're going to need the assistance of a qualified electrician for this job.

 

Because of how the plasterboard has broken around the opening, the clips they use to fix powerpoints in place are likely unusable, meaning they will have to disconnect the wiring, move the powerpoint over, create a new hole and then fix it in place.

 

Once the powerpoint has been moved, you can use How to Fix a Hole in the Wall as a guide for fixing the hole in your wall.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Jacob
