I don’t suggest you try repairer the hole yourself unless you have done this before. What may seem like a simple job for the inexperienced may turn into a larger job if you don’t know what you are doing.  It is a common occurrence that the client tries to repair the Plasterboard hole them self and they end up calling us to come and fix it after they have tried repairing it. The job ends up been much harder for us and more costly for the client.
