Master bath toilet area with floating sink.
The wall!😫😫😫😫.
I do not have the money (Unemployed and not receiving unemployment benefits) to hire a drywall person to fix this area.
Orange texture in a can is not going to fix/hide the edges.
I could tile, just above and below the sink, but $$ and I would have to incorporate that tile elsewhere within the bath area to be cohesive.
Home in foreclosure, I need to sell.
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.
Smooth out the wall by lightly sanding. Homax makes many different textures. I have used it all over the house with drywall repairs. You can get it at lowes.
LOOK FOR SECONDHAND OR MIX AND MATCH TILES OF MANY SORTS TO FILL THE AREA.
The edges still need more joint compound. Between that and more sanding, this should smooth-out.
The seams need more drywall compound. Then sand the area with medium grit sandpaper as smooth as you can. Then just prime and paint.
If you are going to put a new floating sink in it's place, add a skirt to the sink to hide it. That will hide imperfections and variations on the texture. Get it as close as you can by sanding and then adding a textured drywall mud. Paint the entire area in a light neutral which will also make any differences less noticeable.
Use drywall compound and fill in the spaces, sand with med grit sand paper when dry and then prime and paint.
You can make the area look much better by adding drywall compound and sanding and painting. It will be the easiest, least time consuming, and most inexpensive fix.
Sand it as flat as possible and then put bead board on or simply a good coat of primer and paint your color of choice.
you could use peel and stick tiles they are inexpensive
I would buy a small bucket of drywall mud and a sanding block. You should be able to feather the mud out to hide the seams…. Probably the cheapest way
use compound to seal all off
Looks like you just need to build up more layers of joint compound then sand, prime and paint. If you want to tile or need materials, try a Habitat ReStore, the free section of Craigslist, or your local Buy Nothing Facebook group.
