Repairing hole in wall

[Guest2]

Well, another crazy saturday night. One of our mates went a bit mad and punched a hole in the wall. He said he would pay for it but can it be repaired cheaply somehow? Maybe a bit of wood and some plaster over it, wilkos or somewhere must sell something to sort it. Hole is 8" accross, 6" high. Its thin plaster

Bring on the wall?

EDIT: Also I wouldn't repair I would replace

If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing properly..

(No, I don't mean the punching of the hole in the wall )

stick a piece of plasterboard behind the hole using adheisive....plaster patch up, jobs a good un

To get some kind of stability for the filler/plaster to get a grip you need to tie a piece of string to a short strip of wood or whatever & poke it thru the hole & position it so when you pull on the string so it holds the broken plasterboard in place while the hole is filled.
Rough fill it first & leave it till next day & then fill to smooth it level

I was thinking this. Where do you plasterboard and can you buy a tube of plaster?

Get new friends. Your mate sounds like he's angry at his confused feelings.

B and Q do a tub of patching plaster

 

[Cosmic182]

just pop to Bq( they sell plasterboard and a small tub of ready mixed plaster) or see if a local trade merchants like jewsons or travis perkins have a damaged plasterboard or offcut you can have ...same with plaster

Cut the damaged plaster left and right to the stud wall wooden beams that run up the wall then get a new piece of plaster board and nail it on. Tape the small gaps, plaster over the top, sand then paint.

To make this easier go round the other side of the wall & cut a big piece out of the plasterboard, this will make it easy to stick the plasterboard over the hole in the wall

Good stuff, will have a look next week. Until then check out my skills! (masking tape and stuff i found in the shed...

Probably cost no more than £20-£30 to get it done pro. Most of that for them sitting around waiting for stuff to dry before a skim.

You should have filled the hole with your friend's severed head.

Just why? Who punches a wall without good reason?
