Broken Drywall Corner in Shower

Question

I had someone replace my bathroom ceiling, and I was just sanding and painting. I found that the corner of the drywall is broken off & there is also another gap that seems a bit big for caulking. I think I can maybe just add a little compound on gap, but I'm not sure how to fix the corner given I can't put anything on the shower tile. Any suggestions (other than having to schedule a guy to come back)?

Welcome to DIYSE. It's not clear what I'm looking at. Is that the wall-ceiling junction, or is there a tub in the photo? — isherwood, Sep 14 '18 at 00:45

I added compound in the gap and that seems OK. I folded up some paper drywall tape into the corner to fill the depth, and then put compound on that too. Both had some mesh tape in there so I think it will be OK. Thanks to anyone who has been giving this thought!

Normally you'd fill void with compound to make it more solid, but with the mesh tape it should be ok. – isherwood Sep 14 '18 at 00:46
I'd have called the guy back as much as I hate mudding drywall, but I think you did well. – Gary Bak Sep 14 '18 at 00:59
