The problem

The leak itself had already been addressed, but the bathroom below was still left with exposed framing and insulation above the tub and glass shower door. For a rental, that kind of open repair area makes the whole room feel unfinished and unusable. The landlord needed the wall and ceiling corner closed cleanly without damaging the shower area around it.

The repair process

Eddie protected the shower area and installed new drywall over the opening above the tub. He taped and finished the seams, then matched the texture across the wall-and-ceiling corner so the repair did not stand out against the existing bathroom finish. The work brought the room back from plumbing access mode to finished bathroom mode.

The result

The opening above the shower is closed, textured, and ready for normal use again. The repair blends into the bathroom instead of reminding the tenant there was once a leak overhead.
