The plinth was accidentally damaged. There is an easy way to repair it without replacing it.

Skirting board frames the perimeter of the room and gives a finished look to the floor finish generally. Although he does not particularly attract attention to himself.

But if you accidentally damage it, and the dent immediately begins to catch your eye.

To fix the situation can, of course, replace the damaged plinth (fillet) of the plinth with a new one.

And you can completely do without replacement.

Because there is very easy way to repair the damaged place. Which one? Consider below.

To make repairs first of all, remove the decorative strip from the damaged plinth and using a screwdriver dismantle it.

Then with a clerical knife cut the plinth in half exactly in the center of the damage.

To mask the place of damage, we will use standard connector, which was used to connect the skirting boards during installation.

Connectors are usually always purchased with a small margin and remain after the installation of the skirting boards.

Since there is practically no complete coincidence of the length of the walls in the room with the length of the fillets.

If the connector does not completely cover the damaged areaas shown in the photo below, need toplinthquiteundercut using a clerical knife.

As a result one part of the plinth will have to just a little move away from the corner when reassembling.

Then it remains to fix the plinth back to the wall and, by cutting the decorative plug to size, attach it in place. The damage to the plinth was gone.
