Hi all,
I am helping to set up a pre-school. We have found a room in which to site the pre-school, but it needs some redecoration work before it is suitable. I have put a photo of it up here:

of the work is fairly simple - painting, curtains, and so on - but in some places the plasterboard on the lower part of wall (below the brown wooden rail in the photo) has been broken through. This has been patched up in some of the damaged places (just to the right of the door in the photo you can see a lighter patch where it has been repaired), but I want to try to make a better job of the repair, and to make the other bits of plasterboard more resilient to the possible damage that the pre-school's occupants may inflict upon it!
My initial thought is to fix 6mm plyboard sections in place over the top of the plasterboard. This would hide the damaged plasterboard, and also give a more resilient finish. Would that work? Does anyone have any other ideas? I want to keep the cost down as much as I can.
thanks,
dan.
