It was wrong to start with, new build wrongness! Honestly the curve of it is way better now. What do you think about finishing this off myself with easifill?

Are you saying this isn't worth doing as a DIY project? Not sure why you think it's funny. I've already done most of it.

I don't know if I explained properly but when I moved in the winder was in really poor shape, sagging and dipping. I've added bonding and chiselled bits off myself as well as using a bit of easifill. It is now a nice curved shape, but the surface is rough as you can see in the pics. I don't need...

i have a stair winder that was plastered pretty badly, it was sagging and dipping in all the wrong places and just looked a mess. I started out by using easifill to neaten up the part closest to the vertical timber of the bannisters, and then chiselled off the high points, amd filled the dipped...
