How to Repair a Drywall Hole

If you have a small hole in your drywall, you can fix it yourself with a few simple tools and supplies. Follow these easy steps to get the job done:

1. Use a level to make sure your hole is even and then use a tape measure to find the center of the hole

2. Cut a piece of painters tape at least twice the size of the hole, then peel off one side of the tape

3. Hold the cut edge of the tape against the inside lip of the drywall near where the hole is located, then pull up on the tape until it starts to stick – don’t worry if it starts to come loose

4. Hold on to both ends of the tape while you drill a small pilot hole into it with your screwdriver

5. Insert the screwdriver into the pilot hole and drive it in until it hits something solid – this will be your anchor point for securing the tape

6. Pull on one end of the tape until it’s tight against the wall, then do the same thing on the other end

7. Re-attach the other side of the tape to the screwdriver, then use it to hold the taped end of the hole against the wall while you drill a second hole into it

8. Insert the screwdriver into the second hole and drive it in until it hits something solid – this will be your anchor point for securing the tape

9. Repeat steps 6-8 until you’ve secured all sides of the hole

10. Remove the screws from the anchor points and then trim the excess tape off the hole

That’s all there is to it – now your hole will be fixed and no one will be able to see it!

Tips for Success

There are a few tips that can help make repairing a drywall hole easy and quick.

1. If the hole is small, try to patch it with wet-wall compound. Wet-wall compound is a type of mortar that is mixed with water and is used to patch smaller holes in drywall. It’s less expensive than using traditional drywall construction adhesive, and it should still be able to hold up under normal use.

2. If the hole is larger or more complicated, you will likely need to use traditional drywall construction adhesive and a trowel. Again, use plenty of water to wet the wall first before applying the adhesive. Once the adhesive has dried, use a trowel to fill in the hole and smooth out any bumps or ridges.

3. Finally, if you do experience any problems with your repair later on (e.g., moisture infiltration), be sure to address them as soon as possible by re-drywalling or by replacing the entire wall section.
