Plasterboard/Gyprock wall patch repair (~40cm L-shape hole)

$200

Canberra ACT 2912, Australia

7th Mar 2026

Hi, Looking for someone experienced with gyprock / plasterboard repairs to fix a wall opening left after some plumbing work. The hole is roughly 38.5cm x 37.5cm and currently L-shaped. It will need a proper patch so the wall is solid and finished neatly. Ideally the job would include: • installing a plasterboard patch • taping the joints • applying compound • sanding to a smooth finish Basically looking for the wall to be finished paint-ready. I can provide the matching paint if painting is included. Please only quote if you have experience with gyprock wall repairs. A few things to confirm in your offer: • your total price including Airtasker fees • whether your quote includes both labour and materials • whether the job includes patch, taping, compound and final sanding • whether it will be left paint-ready or if painting is included • whether you have public liability insurance • whether you provide any workmanship warranty / guarantee Photos attached. Looking for someone reliable who can do a clean, professional repair. Budget around $200 but open to reasonable offers. Thanks!

Great job fixing the wall - hardly tell there was a hole before. Very efficient and professional.
