Hi,
i recently have wiring done in my new house.The walls got to be hacked and they have covered it with cement. Previously wall is smooth surface.How do i cover the rough cement area?
Is it by using Puttyfilla or there are special cement mixture to smooth it out?

use sand paper, coarse then fine, then paint
but not too fine later look too shiny

u need to skim coat larger area than the repaired area
anyone can do repair works
but it takes expert to do repair works that will blend seamlessly into existing surrounding
