Cut a piece of plasterboard that is slightly narrower than the hole but an inch or so longer top and bottom. Screw in a long screw in the middle of the patch; this will be used to position the patch in place. No matter whether you want to repair small nail holes or want to fix some large gaps in the wood, it still works fine. Measure and cut a new piece of plasterboard to fill the hole. Fix in place with plasterboard screws or nails. Mix up plaster, apply and leave to dry.Once filled, smooth the filler out by moving the knife over in different directions, starting from the centre of the filled area. Repeat until you have a smooth surface. A high-quality wood primer needs to be applied so that the paint would adhere to the surface of the wood you’re painting.

Now you need to measure and cut two noggins (horizontal wood that bridges the gap between the studs). Use a bit of 2 x 4 inch – approximately 100mm x 50mm – timber to create the noggins. Nail or screw them into position, between the studs, from the sides. This will create an area to fix your new plasterboard patch to. Yes you can use decorators' caulk to fill small holes such as nail and screw holes, but it's not really suitable for holes any bigger than quarter of an inch. Add a dollop of caulk and smooth out with a putty knife or a wet finger for nail and screw holes. Inspect the wood and see if there are imperfections or if the paint doesn’t look finished. Apply a third coat if necessary. For good measure, leave the paint to dry overnight so you’re guaranteed that it is completely dry before applying the second coat. Once dry, you can gently rub down the plaster or filler, and then paint the repaired area to match the surrounding wall.
