How the repair works
Inspect the corner
We check whether the bead is bent, loose, delaminated or rusted, and how far the damage runs.
Cut out the bad section
Compound is scored on both faces and the damaged bead is removed back to sound material.
Install and align new bead
A new length is set dead straight with the existing edge and bedded or fastened firmly.
Finish both faces
Compound is feathered wide, texture matched and the area primed and touch-up painted.

Corner Bead Repair questions
Why does rust appear on wall corners?
Galvanised metal bead can corrode when exposed to moisture or salt air over time. The rust bleeds through paint as orange streaks.
Can a dented corner be filled instead of replaced?
A shallow ding on solid bead can sometimes be built up with compound. If the metal is bent or loose, filling will not last and the section should be replaced.
Do you repair corners around window returns?
Yes. Window returns use the same bead and often take knocks from blinds and cleaning. Rust there may point to a window leak worth checking.
Can you fix rounded bullnose corners?
Yes. We use bullnose bead with a matching radius so the curve flows into the existing corner.
