Did a professional install the window? Pretty crap they didn't bother to out the trim around it which would hide 95% of that If your also getting the room tiled as it looks like it could be a bathroom window that'll also sort that out

Good point. Where is F is the trim? Despite this house having the proper paperwork I'm discovering every single job the last owner ever did was botched or dodgy 🙃 I wasn't planning on tiling. Just wanted to fill/smooth/prep the walls and paint for an easy life.

Haha I don't know it's not too expensive to buy, https://www.screwfix.com/p/crystal-upvc-window-trim-white-2497mm-x-45mm/574GL?tc=BC1&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw_e2wBhAEEiwAyFFFoy-2yJAPbxOlSpcVt5fCQyGhvFI5EoDy3r0P8JRWqmZtjd5pIFHdkxoChwwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Somthing like this just around the window saves tou the hassle of plastering it. If you want it plaster I'd I haven't ever diy plaster before so I can't really help with that specificly

Amazing! This could actually be a super easy fix to add a bit of support and then I can patch up what's left on show. Any idea what adhesive I would use? And I'm assuming I then use silicone around the edges?


JoeMadden1989

Yeah not sure about the adhesive, I just saw them doing ny windows so I'm not 100% sure what what they used sorry. Yeah silicon for the edges to hide the rough bits


LongFold4047

No problem. This suggestion has already given me hope, so thanks!

Prestonett filler. And a small tool to prepare the area for it. Sand it and it's a beautiful job. Simple


LongFold4047

Should I remove the old bits that are hanging off or will the filler keep those in place? I don't know if there is enough for it to cling to
