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.Â
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.Â
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.

Fix holes in my wall left by drywall anchors and hang painting
$200
Waterloo NSW, Australia
29th Dec 2025
I’m trying to hang a painting (2m wide) in my living room. The wall is made from plasterboard, but behind that is another material (I think) which is much more solid - maybe concrete? As suggested, I tried using drywall anchors to hang the painting, but while screwing them in, I suddenly hit the solid section of wall (which I wasn’t aware of before) and the anchors would not go any further. Unsure of what to do, I removed them and drilled a small pilot hole through the solid bit and tried screwing them back in. They went all the way in this time, but (unsurprisingly) they felt loose in the wall and one started spinning when I put a screw in it. So now I’m just left with two fairly big holes in my wall. I would like to find a way to salvage these holes and use them to hang the painting but I’m not sure of the best method / screw / anchor type to do that. Someone suggested using a toggle bolt in the existing hole, but I also can’t find a cavity behind the wall. I’m sure there is one but I’d rather not make a bigger mess looking for it. If you think you can help, please let me know. Ideally, I’d like the work done tomorrow (Tuesday 30th), in the morning or midday latest. Wednesday could work too. Please see photos attached for reference. Thanks, Daniel

Commercial building, removal of built in desk / cabinetry has caused some damage to the wall as well as exposed some holes in drywall from previously relocated ethernet / power point. There was also a ridiculous number of small holes drilled into the drywall by a previous contractor (assumably when they were looking for the stud!). Needs repaired and prepped ready for repainting. I haven't stated a budget, open to fair prices. Must have PI insurance and QBCC number.

Licensed Electrician to repair drilled cable in wall (Drywall opened)
$150
West Pennant Hills, New South Wales
14th Dec 2025
accidentally drilled a screw into a power cable inside a stud wall, which initially caused the circuit to trip. I have already cut open the drywall to locate the issue, so the damaged wire is fully exposed and ready for fix (see photos). power is currently back on after removing the screw, but we switched off now to fix the wire insulation. We need electrician to repair the damaged section (likely with a junction box ) and safety test the circuit. Thanks
