A fast and easy way to patch a large hole in plasterboard walls
Here is a simple way for repairing a large hole in plasterboard walls.
You will only need a few simple tools to repair the drywall.
A Straight edge, a Sharp stanley knife or similar, a Scrap piece of plasterboard (drywall), some plaster tape, a Plaster spreader, a short piece of timber, a few screws, an Electric Drill and a small drill bit, a Pencil and some premixed plaster filler, and some paint and brushes to cover the finished repair.
I was asked if I could repair some large drywall holes in the plasterboard walls of this rental property.
So I decided to make a short video, showing how I went about repairing the plasterboard, and restored them back to new condition.
On the day of the repair, I was onsite doing unrelated work, and didn't have all my tools with me.
I sourced some of bits I used from a dumpmaster bin out the front of the property.
📌 P.S. I have a better instruction video below, (when I had all my tools with me.)
