repair bathroom wall

New York City NY

Description

A large hole was punched in the shower wall to make a plumbing repair. I need someone to repair the wall and put back the tiles. The apartment is in the Fordham area of the Bronx. See the photos attached. The first photo shows the bathroom wall. The second photo shows the same wall from the opposite side, which is open right now for a renovation. The open wall provides full access from the opposite side. However, this wall is tricky because of how the wall was constructed (cement on metal lathe, not backer board). Pipe configuration makes it hard to attach something like cement board because there is barely space for something to span the studs... pipe is in the way. I'm looking for someone who can get this repaired quickly (please before Christmas!) even if it's only meant to last a year. We can plan to replace the bathroom wall next year, but not now... a quick job is needed to get us back to using the shower. I'm looking to pay about $300. This is flexible. Please briefly describe your method of making the repair. Thank you.
