I think. T'other halfs house has a wall with a bodge of a plaster job. Small area unevenly raised, best way of smoothing it out without a complete replaster or too much mess please. Ta

I'm not the best plasterer the world has seen but nomatter what you do it will look like its had a tart up unless you skim the whole wall.

 

If its a small bump then you could sand it down with course paper, then with smooth paper, and then run over a bigger area with something like a Thistle multi-finish plaster.

 

If its a big hump then you can leave it alone but then make it a flatter hump by building up around it. It still wont look great though.

 

Or you can grind it out, clear it up, and fill it with an undercoat plaster (type depends on the wall but Tough Coat would do) and then finish it with Multi-finish to match the good stuff around it.

 

For what its worth, and for the time it would take, I'd grind it out, then get a plasterer in to fill it, and then skim the whole wall. Its only going to take a couple of bags of finish, no more than ?20 in materials and half a day for a plasterer for an average sized wall.

I have a bodgy wall in my kitchen... DIY job

 

A good sand, fill and repaint of the whole wall / room does work wonders. Do it, then catch it in good light to see the imperfections, and re-do it. And again.

 

Obviously compared to a proper skim it'll be miles off in terms of standard

 

But you can make a shocker of a job into something acceptable with a bit of elbow grease

 

And then bang a shelf or cupboard over it
