- 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.)
📌 • 🏠 DIY How to Repair Dr...
The Plasterboard is called Gyprock and its made by CSR, its coated on both sides with grey paper. (found onsite)
The tape is fiberglass and made specially for Plaster.
Screws can be anything as long as they are countersunk. (found onsite)
The wood I used was a piece of scrap timber. (found onsite)
Plaster spak. (found onsite)

How not to fill a hole lol,,, This guy is not a tradesman,,, What a bodge up. Not how I'd have done it,,, Someone should teach this bloke how to do it properly,,, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...... Been in the industry for years and i have seen many a tradesman do heaps worse ( ie - Newspaper , Cardboard etc )...... This bloke is showing the basics and he got the exact result that ANYONE is looking for.... As for all the tools with their opinions - please troll someone else and go and buy a left hand screwdriver.....
Unfortunately there are many couch experts who have no idea as to what really happens on job sites, and live in a world of fantasy.
I would like to see some of them perform a task they have not been forewarned about, and without any tools for the job, as I found myself on this occasion.
P.S. This repair is now 4 years old, and is impossible to locate on the finished painted wall.
Car door got logged in my garage wall while backing up my classic car 🤦🏽♂️
I’ve just put a hole big hole in my bedroom wall. Gotta get I done before my parents find out
@@GarryPurcell What’s that stuff called in the yellow bottle and where can I buy some ?
Ok - what's the better method? Link to a video?
The goal in patching drywall is to make the wall appear as if there was never a hole. Well done! There are to many haters out there.
There are lots of armchair experts, that's for sure.
my dad passed away a couple of months ago and i never got the chance to fix my room with him so here i am. trying to look at as many videos for fixing a drywall hole and i thank you for this video 🥺
Sorry to hear about your Dad.
Do as much research you can, then simply take your time doing the repair, with whatever method you feel comfortable with.
I have a slightly different repair video you might like, by watching both you will have a better understanding of just how easy it is to do wall repairs yourself.

Spencer C wow you annoying
I’ve seen a lot of comment trying to discredit this mans work but I see nothing wrong with it. I have a hole in my apartment wall that my girlfriend did. This isn’t a bad video by any means. Now I’m able to fix my wall without having to call someone over & having to pay or telling my landlord what happened. That’s the best part of this video.
Glad you found my video useful.
It was intended to show just how easy it is to fix a hole with minimum tools, and materials.
P.S. I pay little attention to the trolls.
I can’t be the only one watching this because I punched a hole in the wall right
JDBunny let me guess it was because of fortnite
Yes i just did it yesterday
I am because my husband did
Did it right now
@@screamingscarlette :/ pay attention and see if it’s not abuse...
This video was so good that I kicked a hole in the wall on purpose to try this method out.
Did it work?😂
@@GarryPurcell it should've
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🙈🙈 me too 🙈 shame on me lol 👍🏻
I wish I was old enough to drive so I could go to home Depot before my dad kills me

So I’m just here doing community service for a dog shelter and I told the ladies I knew what I was doing (completely lied) when they asked if I could repaid a hole in the wall. That being said you were the first video I clicked on and I’m basically an expert! Very informative. Thank you!

Had to like just because you were so willing to help even tho you wasn't sure how to do it
@@nastygaming6381 Thank You for the Thumbs Up.
Mate, you’re an absolute legend. Because of this tutorial I’ve gone ahead and started repairing all damages around the house. I’m enjoying it so much that I’m thinking about switching my career choice to plastering.
Stay blessed, thanks again.
Glad my video helped, and you enjoyed your results.
There are lots of different ways to repair damaged walls.
I normally use the method below to repair walls.

Don’t understand why people are so rude. There are many ways of patching a wall, he’s showing you ONE way as stated in the description box, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it.
Thanks Sara.
Many people think its OK to act foolish when commenting.
If they first took the time to read the video description, most negative comments would not exist.
Sara Brown...well said
Exactly, if you don't like how he does it make your own video!
What an idiotic thought. The comments that you feel are "rude" are not at all but rather to help viewers realize that while this guy is well intentioned, the instruction is incorrect. There ARE qualified people out here that can recognize bad advice, and feel it necessary to speak out.
The comments are from people with anger issues who punched a hole through their wall, u think they’re gonna be civil? 😂
This is a tutorial I was looking for.
I work in a school building where a few classroom walls have holes caused by the doorknobs.
Now, I can easily repair them thanks to your video.
Thanks again Garry
I have another wall repair video that you might like, when I had all my tools with me.
I would recommend adding a piece of timber at both ends of the repair.

My partner showed me a hole in the wall he was embarrassed by and used to cover with a painting. I told him it was okay and an easy fix. This video has proved that! Thank you so much for informing on how to fix it. 😊

I did the exact same repair with the small piece of 2x3 wood and some extra drywall. Except, I bevelled all the edges (wall and filler piece). About a decade later, I ran the repair by a drywall guy and he told me that instead of making the filler panel square, his recommendation was to use a round shaped filler panel utilizing an appropriate sized kitchen pot lid as a template. He told me that this would prevent possible filler cracking in the corners.
Thanks for the info.
I normally use this method when I have my tools with me.

Good work sir, I'm plastering a hole in the wall today following this method. Hey and forget about the hater comments, your way uses common sense, tools on hand and the end result. Thank you
People often think there is only one way to do things, and everyone else is wrong.
The point of this video, was to show just how easy it is to improvise when doing wall repairs, and still get good results.
Thanks for the great video. I’ve done drywall repair way back like maybe 15 years ago, but kinda needed a bit of a refresh course. This is basically how I remember doing it. Our youngest son, who’s 7, is autistic. He’s put several nice sized holes in the wall of his bedroom and I’ve gotta fix them. Thanks again for the great video.
Glad I could jog your memory.

Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial. My brother and boyfriend both died and I'm stuck here with all their tools and a house that needs repairs, and clueless. You're helping me not live in a physical disaster. If you have a tutorial for the rest of life stuff, that would be great.
Really sorry to hear of that, kudos to you to take the repairs on, I also have to do repairs and don’t really have anyone to help and I have no idea what to do
I"m getting on in years myself.
The best life lesson I can give you, is be patient and kind to others.
We have two ears, two eyes and one mouth, use them in the same proportion.

I hope they really didn't die.♥️
Gary regarding any rude comments...unfortunately it's new way of the world...don't give them any time.
This was really useful for me, thankyou for the effort.

I'm with you. Easy and effective , very professional results. We are fixing our house using his method:)
@@Jacqueline_R
Remember to take your time, and you will get excellent results.
Amen brother you cannot satisfy anyone .
It's a shotty job. Anyone that showed up with a Wal-Mart 3 pack of plastic putty knives would have been gone immediately. That flex in the patch piece as you mud is a no no. Look up wing patch or California patch and for God's sake get a metal tapping knife. I'd like to see that patch with a parallel flash light. And you should never sand through mesh tape. There are professionals with quality instructional videos. The rest of us professionals are doing the work in real life. I don't post car mechanic videos because I'm a hobbyist and not a seasoned professional
Can’t believe how that skilled tradesmen made that hole disappear on that wall I’ve never seen anything like it
First class. Job well done.

You should have no problems repairing the damaged wall. All the best.
Good video! A lot of people are completely missing the point here, all of these “professionals” criticising and proclaiming to know it all... I don’t believe the video is for you, I believe it’s for people who have no idea like myself. Thanks for the upload 👍

Followed the instructions and it actually worked, only thing I did different was that I added an extra screw through the middle of the plasterboard cut out to keep it from moving at all, thanks a lot mate.
Thanks for letting us know all went well.🙂
There are lots of different methods, it really depends on what you have available at the time of repair.
Just learned how to do this all in one of my high school classes so I wanted to see if others did it the exact same way. Great video!

@@GarryPurcell Oh, I see. I'd be surprised if the outer walls are much better, though. Just a very cold building, all around.
Great job there, also folks, when you go to sanding it, do not use an electric sander, but use your hand with sand paper like this gentlemen is using. I learned the hard way using an orbital sander, yes she did the job well, but the silica within the plaster will coat the sanders brushes, then you have to take the sander apart and replace the brushes ..which is more time, and money.
Thanks for handy information regarding sanding.
Thank u so much Gary for this video .. we have a hole to fill and feeling confident to try your method. We'll done from Ireland
You can do it yourself with very few tools.

@@GarryPurcell thank u so much! All done.. we just have to do plaster bit tomorrow . You are great !!
The concept is good; I have done hundreds of drywall patches, and I don’t claim to know everything on the subject. Every time I see someone else doing a patch, I walk away with more knowledge; add more modern tools to this concept and you’ll speed up the process, and no, there is no drama in breaking the paper with the drill, that piece of wood is there just to hold the piece of drywall while applying the mud, once it sets, you could retrieve your wood if you were able to. I’d like to see a tutorial of stuffing the hole with crumbled up newspaper and patching over it like some of you have stated to have done; and see how you fare on the web.
Knowledge is power.
The day I did this repair, I was working on a non related job, and didn't have all my tools with me. I used what I could find onsite, and sourced some bits from a dump bin at the front of the property.
This is very premature job of patching .
Good Video old man
@@phamtan4476 garbage it was a great job of cause you could do better!!
Juan Morales Juan iv been doing drywall patches for years and it's way better to put the backing on both sides of the patch on the inside of the hole also if you never want it to ever crack before you lay your tape or mesh apply latex caulking all the way around your cuts then apply your tape or mesh believe me it's great no cracks ever in some cases you dont need tape. Just let the caulking dry completely before putting the mud on
Am a pro carpenter, painter, Mason ect 28yrs.i don't even use the backer board.i cut my patch and square hole to fit so tightly and snug it does not fall into wall.when you get good at cutting the whole and patch to fit perfectly tight you don't need backing
Slow....why not sqaure hole up first?I just take a cordless sawzall shallow cut,u take to long with that knife.Could have had five holes repaired.
I'm not sure I could cut a square to those tolerances you mention, but its nice to know the repair could have be done that way.
Thank You.
@@GarryPurcell yes you use a speed-square to make sure the patch piece and hole is perfectly square .I cut the patch first then put over hole to mark n cut tight.u can gradually shave patch or hole to fit nice and tight n slowly tightly fit flush.also don't turn the patch piece with dark side facing outward cause you will need much more spackle n labour to cover dark side
@@GarryPurcell there a beveled way to shave the patch so that it never can fall inside wall because you have no backing by cutting patching like 1 /16 bigger than hole n gradually shave it beveled to fit tight
@@KingParisBuckingham
Handy to know.
Gary.... great approach and great results. Simple, straightforward. Keep the videos coming!

Well done by showing using just simple tools to do a job well, Mr. Garry Purcell.
My uncle, a former Col of the SAS taught me guns and patch things up using basic tools too.
That was what I'm trying to show in this video, that you don't need fancy tools to make an acceptable repair.
Basically how I learned it, we called it a "hot patch". I have a cordless dewalt dry wall cut out tool I use. I dont always use tape. Ive used paint stirrers for small holes especially if im on the fly.
You hit it on the head.
You make do with what's available at the time.
Who else punched a hole in there wall
Me bro 🤣🤣 n now im f
Turned out well, definitely recommend screwing the board to the backing timber to give it more strength then scrim tape alone
Good work 👍🏻
Good advice regarding the screw.
I thought it looked like a bad way to do it, but the results are good! Thanks for new ideas.
There are many different ways to repair a hole in the wall.

Thankyou from America ,this video
is very helpful..👍🇺🇸
Thanks from Australia
The concept is simple, and on the day of this repair I was short on tools.
I have a better instruction video below, (when I had all my tools with me.)

Thanks for the video but I would definitely glue/screw the small patch onto the backing timber to make it 100% solid.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Great job on the video, i like the way that you added the board behind the sheetrock - I might try that but add an additional piece of sheetrock instead of the wooden board. (I remember someone back in the day when i was like 5 years old or so and he stuffed the back of it with newspaper).
Soft cardboard stuffed in hole / half a trowel full of bonding with plenty of cement in to make it set in 10 mins, dirty water with skimming to make it skim go off walk away in 1 hour or do 10 holes like this one in the same room and walk away in 1 hour 15 mins, i do these kinda jobs every day perfect job when complete
Thank you for your time and effort in making and posting this video. God bless 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!
I just filled in a hole in the wall that me (13 year old ) and my 9 year old sister made a hole and we had none of these material but this is what we used
Piece of cardboard
White paint
White Clay
Hot glue and prayers that our parents wouldn't find out.
I wish you Good luck, regarding your parents not finding out.
I am no expert but I did work for U.S.G in Galena Park for nineteen years and was in the Quality Control Dept. The job you did was done nicely but I just wanted to know why was the sheetrock installed on backwards. There is an ink code on back of the sheetrock that will tell you the date and time and even the shift who made the sheetrock. I even had to inspect the sheetrock for thickness, strength and water absorption on the Water resistant sheetrock. Other than the sheetrock being installed backwards. You did an exceptional job. Thanks for taking your time to make the video. Good day from Houston.
I was on another non related job, and sourced the board out of a dump bin, from the front of the property. I also borrowed tools that were available onsite, to complete the repair.
Nice content. I just fixed the holes in my house. It was easy thanks to your help
Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for a great video! Now I’m ready to repair mine. Your video is thorough and easy to follow.
Glad my video helped.

His voice reminds me of a childhood movie when they always have a mysterious man telling what's going on
Nothing like a good horror movie just before bedtime.😂
You’re a good lad. I’m here in hopes this would work to repair the hole in my heart.
Did it work?😀
This was really nice 👍🏽 thank you. I don’t know much it came out very well. I will most definitely save this when needed
Thanks for commenting.

I personally would use the method shown with the timber like you have but I’d fix it around the edge of the hole so that the edges are solid rather than the wood down the centre so that there’s movement on the joints
Thanks.
On the day of this repair, I had no tools with me, I raided a dump bin, and borrowed some tools to do this repair, ( Check the video description).

The masters like myself don't need wood backing.if you know how to cut the patch to fit tight n snug in the hole it won't fall in ....
Thanks Garry, this will save me a lot of money!

@@cocochanelle1970 Glad my videos were useful to you.
Some friendly advice. Never use anything but fast setting mud over mesh tape (looked like Green label all purpose, but not sure). Put backing in on 2 opposite sides and it won't rock like that and will be much stronger. Use a 10-12" knife to float it out, as a 6" is not going to give you nearly as good a job. Use the 6" to embed it, but go over the final times with a 10" or bigger and it will float out great. Also, if you use fast setting mud, (hot mud) it allows you to put multiple coats on in one day, and it doesn't shrink. But be sure to put it on very smooth as it's terrible to sand. Otherwise I'd go with all purpose and paper tape. Just trying to give some helpful pointers to viewers.
Thank you for adding some good information.
Garry Purcell by the way, our names are similar. I’m Guy Purcella.
Amazing job I love the work. Wouldn’t of known to put the piece of wood behind the dry wall.

Nice video mate. I appreciate the time you took to make the video. Please ignore all of the ridiculous comments. Your dealing with all of the internet troll brigade very well. I'll be trying this method out today. Thanks mate
Thank you.
It's been an interesting insight into human nature, that's for sure.
According to all the couch experts, if it's not done their way, it has to be wrong, haha.
I also have another video below that might help you.

@@GarryPurcell yeah.. don't look into the human nature experiment too much.. these days its a depressing insight! haha. last night i went to go and see fleetwood mac play live in Melbourne. it was genuinely awesome. go have a look on my channel if you like them! cheers mate, Kev
@@Sk8nbake I had a quick look.
Still rocking on, and the drummer hasn't aged a bit.😀
Good job , this is one way of many and it's pretty convenient for tools and stuff around the crib.

Easy as tutorial, followed it today and got a great result, thanks mate!
Great to hear!
Don’t listen to all the “professionals” in the comments you do you garry! cheers for the video.
Thanks for your positive comment.
Some people don't take the time to read the video information, and make silly comments on the tools I used, without realising I had nothing with me on the day, and had to improvise.
I normally use this method below, when I have all my tools with me.

The 80's called... they want their flat head screws back. Lol. It got the job done and it turned out good. Good job my friend.
There was lots of good music to listen to thats for sure.😉
Dodge Guy bro when I saw the flat head I laughed my ass off my wife came in the room and was like what is wrong with you.
I love the way he had to pre drill the plasterboard 😂

If you can use a hand screwdriver and slotted screw into hardwood, then your a better man than me.
thank you sir, for sharing your knowledge, now I know how to fix that hole.

As long as you take your time, you will be happy with the results you get.
I can't believe you did not screw the sheetrock patch to the support board or stick. this is just crazy. i have been doing this for years and the patches are amazingly strong.
Please Read the Video Description, before commenting any further.
Nice concept but I thought I was going to have a stroke with his crooked cuts. Whenever I cut drywall I usually cut back to the studs, but this one was borderline cut or patch. Thought he was going to cut a finger off. And get a workbench. What was he cutting on? Microwave or an AV receiver? Spackel? Too large of a hole. Use mud. Especially if you are using tape. Use a taping knife. Wet it to keep material from clumping and dragging across workspace. End result...did it matter, not really. Just pride mainly. Plus I can clean up alot less with a wet sponge instead of sanding. Thanks for the idea though and the bravery of putting this up. Has over a million views so that's quite an accomplishment in itself.
If you read the video description, it explains why the repair was done this way.

Awesome job!
One tip, if available use two pieces of wood at either end of your repair, that way the piece of drywall is a bit more stable. (Specifically for larger repairs)
You did a great job with what was available tho

Anyone else got rowdy this Xmas and punched a hole in the wall?
Don't know why this came up on my feed but I'm grateful :D Nice neat job and the trick of adding a small slat behind the hole is a great tip for supporting the section of replacement plasterboard.
I love fixing things and have done a few patches like this in the last few years - the first one I did was a shallow hole where I had to move an electric cable a few inches - builders left cable in a daft place - but what did I use to create some scaffold for the plaster within the hole?? Yes, a few balls of newspaper! Worked a treat but the trick is to add a few slops of filler onto the newspaper balls after plugging them into the gap and smooth them towards the hole edges; however, don't try to fill the hole/crevice completely to finish the job in one shot. Instead, let the thing dry; then come back in a couple of days and you've got a solid but rough and shallow hole that will easily adhere the final small wodge of filler. This will be easy to smooth off when wet cause it's not too thick; then come back in another couple of days and sand, paint and you're done.
There are plenty of ways to repair wall damage, and you don't need to have expensive tools to do it.
What a great video, has given me the confidence to have a go myself. Thanks Gary.
You can do it!
There are many ways to do repairs, it all depends on what you have available on the day of the repair.
