If it’s a small screw hole or nail hole just use a putty knife and a suitable filler, and smooth out. Rub down when finished.

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. Now draw two lines across the gap to create a rectangle around the hole. Cut out the existing plasterboard with a sharp Stanley knife or use a small jab saw.
