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 hole through drywall and replace door stop

$100

East Hills NSW 2213, Australia

8th Jul 2026

There is a hole in the drywall that goes through so you can touch the sliding door inserted in that wall where the doorstop used to be. I would like the hole repaired so that the doorstop can be attached. The sliding door cannot be removed here. I have attempted to do a temporary patch on it (not a great job - was just for cosmetic purposes) but the hole is about 5cm by 5cm without the temp patch. The initial photos show just the screw holes, but the hole is essentially a circle where the doorstop base would have covered. Photos show the screw holes in the wall initially(it is now 5cm diameter hole), the temp patch and the sliding door in the wall where the hole is.

Need electric plug installed behind the drywall.

$100

Box Hill NSW 2765, Australia

6th Jul 2026

Need a licensed electrician to set up power for a wall-mounted digital display (Cozyla 24” calendar, 12V DC / 3A / 36W) where an old HiLook intercom is being removed. Current situation: the intercom ran on a 12V DC supply with a spare Cat cable in the wall. That supply is only rated ~0.8A, so it’s too small for the new screen. Two possible approaches — happy for you to advise which is best on site: 1. Install a concealed power point (GPO) or fused spur in the wall cavity behind the screen so I can plug in the display’s own 12V adapter, or 2. If practical, trace and upgrade the existing 12V supply to a properly rated one. Either way, the wiring needs to be tidy and the outlet/adapter concealed behind the display. There’s an existing wall recess and cabling to work with.

Wall mount a glass cutter onto drywall in shop

$350

Fitzroy North, Victoria

2nd Jun 2026

We require a glass cutter to be mounted onto the wall in our studio. The wall it drywall, there are no studs, and just concrete/brick underneath, so it will need long masonry screws for it to go through the plaster and well into the brick wall behind. The mortar seems pretty soft in some areas so we just want someone who will be able to do this properly as it’s a heavy item (approximately 25-30kg) and there will be someone to help also. We have all the fixings and braces ready to go, it just requires holding and drilling in to make secure. Expect it to take no longer than an hour I hope!

Glenden was very thorough at helping us to install a heavy item on the wall. We are very happy with his work!

Drywall repair - reposted ad

$200

Croydon VIC, Australia

19th May 2026

Reposting this ad as there are a few more tasks and details than initially anticipated. Need a handyman for drywall repair in a few places, one of which includes bracket installation and attaching a bookcase to a well. Prefer an all inclusive quote or hourly. First pic - The drywall was damaged due to a baby gate. Need someone to patch up, paint and attach a metal bracket to stop this from happening again. Note that the hole needs to be patched, painted and dried before bracket can be installed. This may require couple of visits between painting and bracket installation.I can supply the paint and metal bracket etc. 2nd pic - fixing a 1-2 inch scratch in the drywall in another room - this probably only needs paint. Again I can supply the paint. 3rd and 4th pics - fixing the drywall in another section of the house which has been drilled by mistake by a trade. Attaching a bookcase to the wall - note that you need to be physically strong as the top half of the bookcase needs to be lifted a couple of feet to place it on the bottom section. Its a 2 person job and I can assist. Let me know if you have any questions

Paul was very punctual and spent a lot of time to make sure the job was done to a very high level and to satisfaction.
