Whether it\u2019s from a doorknob, an adventurous pet, or some DIY project that went slightly awry, you\u2019re always better off knowing how to fix the problem. While small holes may seem like minor issues, larger ones can quickly become more intimidating. That\u2019s why we\u2019re here with this comprehensive guide on how to fill a hole in the wall.

For minor damage, a DIY approach with spackle and a putty knife is all you\u2019ll need to think about. For larger holes or those in complicated wall types, however, you may need to use an adhesive patch kit or a new piece of drywall. It\u2019s often best to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/services\/handyman\/drywall-repair?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blg&amp;utm_content=article\">seek help from a Tasker<\/a> who can provide guidance on the most effective way to tackle the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to use to fill holes in a wall<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fix holes in your wall, you\u2019ll need the right tools and materials.

If you have a small hole in your wall, you can repair it by following these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Locate the hole<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Locate-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Circular hole in a wall\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Locate-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Locate-scaled-1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Locate-scaled-1-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Locate-scaled-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you need to patch a wall hole, first identify the hole\u2019s size and type. For small drywall repairs, a simple patch will work. You can also mark small blemishes or dents with painter\u2019s tape to find them again easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Fill the hole<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Fill-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Spackle being spread with a putty knife\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Fill-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Fill-scaled-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Fill-scaled-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Fill-scaled-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply spackle or wall putty to the hole using a putty knife. Ensure that it\u2019s fully covered and that the surface is smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Let it dry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow the spackle to dry completely. This usually takes a few hours, but it\u2019s always best to follow the product\u2019s instructions. And just remember: if you try to sand or paint before this step is complete, it can cause the spackle to cave in or come off the wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Smooth and paint<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Smooth-and-Paint-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Hand in a glove smoothing spackle with a sanding block\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Smooth-and-Paint-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Smooth-and-Paint-scaled-1-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Smooth-and-Paint-scaled-1-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Smooth-and-Paint-scaled-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once dry, sand the patched area until it\u2019s smooth. Then paint over it with a matching colour. If you have leftover paint from the last time you applied colour to your wall, great! You\u2019ll likely be able to use this to paint over the patch. If you need to buy new paint, be precise with your colour matching, otherwise the repaired area will stick out once you start decorating your wall. If the repaired areas still stick out once the job is done, you can also consider adding wallpaper to your room.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to fix a large hole in the wall<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For larger holes, the repair process is a bit more involved but still manageable. To get started, follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Prepare the hole<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Prepare-Large-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Large hole in wall with a board behind it for support\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Prepare-Large-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Prepare-Large-scaled-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Prepare-Large-scaled-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Prepare-Large-scaled-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin by cleaning the hole and removing any loose debris. Next, use a drywall saw to cut around the hole with clean edges. This will allow you to place two 1\u00d73 boards behind the cut-out drywall and screw them to the drywall\u2019s edges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Apply a patch<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Patch-Large-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Thick layers of spackle being applied to a wall with a putty knife\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Patch-Large-scaled-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Patch-Large-scaled-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Patch-Large-scaled-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Patch-Large-scaled-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, cut a piece of drywall and screw it onto the 1\u00d73 boards. Then use spackle to completely cover the area. Remember to leave it as smooth as possible\u2014this will make sanding easier!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Let it dry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow the spackle to dry overnight.
