Plasterboard window sill install, teach me as you go

$450

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

4th Nov 2026

Small job in Sydney Inner West. One window sill needs new plasterboard direct stuck onto masonry. Scope: - Measure and cut new plasterboard to suit the sill (approx 940 x 140mm) - Direct stick onto masonry - Install external corner bead on the front edge, set flush with the existing beads on the sides - Tape, set and sand to a smooth finish (no painting needed) Please supply materials (board, adhesive, bead, compound). The catch: I want to learn to do this kind of repair myself. I'd like to watch and ask questions while you work, and have a go at some of it under your eye (e.g. a coat of compound). I know that slows you down a bit, which is why the budget allows for it. Flexible on how the visits work. If it suits you, you could do the stick, bead and first coat with me watching, show me what the next coats should look like, and I'll finish the later coats and sanding myself. Please let me know in your offer: - How many visits you'd expect - Whether you're OK with me shadowing and having a go
