After: new white three-gang plate installed. Project overview ## Three-gang light switch replacement in a rental Work requested ### Repair the damaged switch Replace or repair a cracked plate with a pushed-in switch and the top button missing. Work completed ### New plate and switch mechanisms Supplied and installed a white three-gang plate and new mechanisms on 25 February. Result ### Complete switch assembly An intact plate with all three switch buttons installed, replacing the visibly damaged assembly. 01 · The hook ## A complete three-gang switch assembly restored in a Tennyson Point rental A damaged three-gang light switch had a missing top button and cracks around the plate openings. Russo Electrical replaced the plate and switch mechanisms, leaving a complete white switch assembly. 02 · The customer problem ## A pushed-in switch and cracked cover The tenant reported that a light switch had pushed into its plate. The tenant removed the top switch, leaving an opening in the fitting, and the before photo also shows cracks around the other switch openings. The switch assembly required attention. 03 · Why they called Russo ## The property manager organised the repair The property manager asked Russo Electrical to repair or replace the damaged switch plate. The work order authorised key collection with the tenant’s agreement so access could be arranged without requiring the tenant to meet the electrician. 04 · What Russo proposed ## Replace the damaged plate and mechanisms together The requested scope was to address the damaged switch assembly. The repair carried out was a replacement three-gang plate with new switch mechanisms, rather than simply fitting a cosmetic cover over the existing controls. 05 · The process ## Three-gang switch replaced on 25 February The electrician attended on 25 February and supplied and installed the replacement white three-gang plate and switch mechanisms. The completed fitting sits beside the wall-mounted air-conditioning remote, as shown in the after photo. The supplied notes do not specify the year or document additional electrical work. 06 · The outcome ## An intact white plate with three switch buttons The cracked plate and missing top button were replaced with a complete white three-gang assembly. The after photograph shows all three switch buttons in place. No customer testimonial or separate testing record was supplied. 07 · The takeaway ## A pushed-in switch can require more than a cover When a switch is pushed in and its plate is damaged, replacing the mechanisms as well as the plate may be appropriate. This repair addressed the damaged assembly rather than covering the visible problem. Before and after ## Damaged switch plate replaced The original photo comparison shows the cracked plate with its top switch missing and the new white three-gang switch assembly beside the air-conditioning remote. ![Damaged light switch plate before replacement and new white three-gang switch after replacement in Tennyson Point](https://russoelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Light-Switch-Replacement-in-Tennyson-Point-before-and-after.webp)BEFOREAFTERBefore: damaged plate with the top switch missing.
