Moving out of my flat and have just removed my TV wall bracket and half the surrounding plaster. What's the best way of filling these holes, especially the worst one?

I've already got some expanding foam cavity stuff, sand paper and of course paint. Do I need anything else (ie actual plaster) or not?

Are those cracks in the plaster?

Yep :p. If I wasn't so careful when removing the rawl plugs I reckon half of the plaster would have come away, especially around the middle two holes. Ah well!

I'll be painting a wide area (including the crack marks) rather than just circles around the holes so hopefully a match will be a bit easier. It's also the exact same paint although I know it'll still differ.

Also, last time I used polyfilla etc for holes like this it just seemed to keep going and going and going.

If it's a rented flat, I'd be doing the bare minimum required to retain my deposit. I doubt that a perfect paint match would be needed, and I certainly wouldn't be bothering with a full room redecoration (unless it was forced upon me by a hawk-eyed landlord). The landlord might redecorate before the next tenant moves in anyway so might not be that bothered.

Precisely. It's a shared flat and I'm the only one moving out so the landlady won't even check the room. So long as it's decent enough for the next tenant then I'm happy.
 
Should I not be making it decent enough for the next tenant? :confused:

All I mean is it's not like an agency is going to be round running their hands over the wall and raping me for my deposit if it's not perfectly smooth/matched or the work wasn't carried out by a professional or something. I'll leave it as I'd be happy to receive it.
