Top Drywall Repair & Patch related questions

As you may know by now, drywall is prone to physical damage from dents or knocks. It is also vulnerable to water damage and mould. However, it offers excellent insulation, considerable soundproofing, and is fire resistant. It is also relatively affordable, making it easier to replace and a popular choice for home builders. 

You can patch a ceiling’s drywall yourself as long as you have the proper tools, materials and skills needed for the job. However, for a less experienced handyman, the job may take longer to complete, and the overall quality of repair may suffer. It’s best to leave the job to the experts, especially when assessing damage to prevent costly fixes in the future.

Yes, you can recycle damaged drywall. Though you may need to do some digging to find a recycler that can accept it. Mould damaged drywall, on the other hand, cannot be recycled. Be sure to dispose of it properly. 

Small holes only take 15 to 20 minutes to repair. Meanwhile, larger holes may take up to two hours. However, the time it takes to replace multiple drywall panels may vary depending on the size of the job. Be sure to ask your Tasker for an estimated time of completion.

What do drywall repair services include?

Drywall repair services include everything you need to fix damages to your wall and ceiling. Damages include dents, cracks or holes on your drywall. Experts found on our platform can perform the task using industry best practices and adhere to regular safety standards. Drywall repair services include but are not limited to:

Site assessment

Proper assessment and inspection are essential before undertaking any repair job. Whether you need a repair on cracked drywalls or patching up your drywall ceiling, Taskers can assess the damage and what caused it so that they can take this into account during the drywall repair process.  Taskers may even take measurements if needed to determine how much material they need to complete the job. If you’re not sure about the materials you need, feel free to consult your Tasker. Ask if they can source the materials for you and discuss other important points in detail before accepting an offer.

Site preparation

Once you have ironed out the details with your Tasker and completed the site assessment, next on the agenda is site preparation. Taskers may use protective material to cover the worksite and anything nearby to reduce the mess. This makes things easier for the clean-up crew especially from any debris from drywall crack repairs. For any repairs that are caused by leaking water pipes, heating or electrical systems and the like, consider hiring a general contractor to resolve the problem and prevent any further damage in the future.

Wall and ceiling repairs

Once the work site is ready, Taskers can begin the process of patching up, filling and smoothing out the holes and cracks on your drywall. Since drywall is prone to damage, sometimes not even your ceiling is safe. Patching up any damage to your drywall ceiling should pose no difficulty for your Tasker. And after getting drywall ceiling repair near you, consider hiring someone to clean your ceiling for a healthier, aesthetically pleasing space.

Depending on the damage and initial assessment, Taskers may even repair or replace sections of drywall and finish them to match your existing walls. If you need some additional wall painting done, don’t hesitate to post another task and find a specialist on our platform.

Overall, though drywall is prone to damage, it is still an affordable, sturdy material that is ideal for building homes. You can rely on experts on Airtasker for all your drywall repair needs.

Repair Drywall Alcove Nook, Patch Ceiling & Paint Finish

$750

Annerley QLD 4103, Australia

23rd Sep 2026

I took out the static build in desk in this alcove and was left with what is now seen in 70% of the photos, along with some other ceiling patch works etc. I am looking for an experienced trade professional or tradesman to repair/replace damaged drywall inside a small alcove nook, patch a few ceiling blemishes, and carry out the final painting works. Scope of Work: 1. Plastering & Prep (Walls, Ceiling & Floor Base): please ensure the wall has been replaced with new plasterboard where needed, plaster, paint & finish. The corner of the floor also needs finishing and work done to make it look finished. Happy to take suggestions on how this could be approached. Ceiling Patches: Patch, flush, and sand a few small ceiling blemishes (a couple of old anchor/screw holes, screw marks around a downlight trim, and one short hairline crack). 2. Painting Finish: Prime/undercoat all newly plastered wall and ceiling repair zones. Apply two coats of near matching paint to the entire alcove area and the affected ceiling sections so the patch repairs blend in perfectly with no visible patches or flashing. Requirements: Must bring all your own trade tools, Gyprock sheets, tape, compounds, drop sheets, rollers, and brushes etc Must deliver a premium, smooth, tradesman-like finish ready for handover. Clean and tidy work practice—please protect the tiled floors and clean up all plaster dust and paint splatters before leaving. Updated - Removal of replaced materials and rubbish also. Location: Annerley Timing: Flexible, looking to get this completed as soon as possible.

Thank you Ken, great work! Ken was happy to communicate and collaborate/ explain the works needed to get the job done efficiently and so that there are no issues towards final completion. I’m happy with the works done and Ken is well mannered and considerate.

Mount Large Mirror + Dyson Vacuum to Drywall

$100

Hillsdale NSW 2036, Australia

13th Sep 2026

Looking for someone experienced with wall mounting to complete two small jobs: 1. Secure/hinge a large leaning floor mirror to the wall The mirror is currently leaning against the wall and needs to be safely secured at the top so it cannot fall or tip over. I’d like it to keep its slightly leaning position rather than be mounted completely flat against the wall. The wall appears to be drywall/plasterboard with metal studs. I previously attempted to install the mirror fixing and encountered metal behind the plasterboard, so I’d prefer someone experienced with this type of wall who can determine the correct mounting point and fixings. 2. Wall mount a Dyson cordless vacuum I’d also like the Dyson wall dock/bracket securely mounted so the vacuum can be stored hanging vertically. I have the Dyson mounting bracket/dock. Please bring a drill, stud/wall scanner and any appropriate screws, anchors or fixings required for both jobs.

Kee was great! Friendly, efficient and did a really good job. Would definitely recommend and use him again 😊

Caulking Silicone and drywall repair

$800

Summer Hill NSW 2130, Australia

7th Sep 2026

::This job has two components:: Caulking and Drywall repair. If you can only quote on one of the two this is ok - simply make your intention clear in your quote by verifying which job you can complete. Ideally, I would like a handyman who can conduct both at the same time but this is not a prerequisite. Refer to the scope plan to delineate each scope. Reference photos attached and I can send more photos on request. JOB 1 (Caulking - shown blue lines on the plan) Re-caulk areas of an apartment which has been subjected to settling of the building. Refer to the below details and include the removal of old caulking where applicable. Note that the measurements are for the entire run of each of the affected areas - it assumes patch repairs are not possible for the purpose of a conservative quote. If you can patch repair to reduce your quote that is even better. Shower (ignore the bathtubs) full floor inside the shower @ 1460x900mm Bathroom (dry area) 1 of 1460mm @ floor 1 of 2400mm @ wall Skirting (generally) JOB 2 (Drywall + skirting repair) Repair damaged PB wall, skirting and ceiling. Scope to include up to complete prep work, ready for painting .e.g. spakfilla, sanding etc. Do not include painting in your scope. Area 1: 1 x Main wall junction Drywall and skirting has moved enough for the PB to crack and dislodge. Skirting has a 6mm dislocation Area 2: Secondary Wall junctions (total 3 of) Standard hairline cracks, unlike Area 1. No more than 50mm long. Less than 1mm gap. Skirting has less than 2mm dislocation. Area 3: Ceiling Hairline cracking along the run shown in photos. Thanks

Mark was a pleasure to deal with and did a great job. Appreciate your time and will call if I ever need more work done.
