Preparation

Before repainting a room you should take the time to patch any holes. This is an easy project you can easily do it yourself.

You don’t need to hire a professional; you can patch the holes yourself. First make sure the hole or crack is not part of a larger structural problem or caused by a leak.

You can buy this kit from any hardware store such as Bunnings for roughly$ 30.00

First scrape away any loose paint or plaster from the holes. Use a knife if necessary.

Sanding

Scoop the compound onto your putty knife and run the knife over your crack or hole. Let the compound harden and apply another layer. Continue applying compound until the crack or hole is completely filled.

When the final layer is dry, gently sand and covers with primer.

Finish

Once the hole or crack is covered with primer you are ready to paint your room.
