I recently had my basement remodeled and the contractor put in plaster
(hard coat) walls instead of drywall. It was put in over blue board and
has small, textured swirls in it. I have a small indentation in one of
the walls caused by a door knob being pushed into it. My question is
how do I repair this type of wall and have the finished product match
the texturing already on the walls?

Thanks.

Would the indentation still be noticeable if you installed a door bumper in
that exact spot? Look at the link below. If it falls apart, go to
www.homedepot.com and search for the word "bumper".

If you *did* fix the indentation, you'd have to install a bumper anyway, or
the same thing would happen again. Maybe you can skip the repair.

No matter what you do, it will show. Best to mount a bumper or protector
there that will cover the indent. Hand a picture of your MIL with her nose
in just the right spot.

How about a "knob nest"?

Ugly as all get-out, but would certainly do the job.
(Would harmonize well with the typical new American bland, nondescript
contractor's dream tract home, though.)
