Patch a Hole in Your Wall

Find a nail hole, anchor hole, or small damage in your wall and patch it so it's invisible.

Identify a hole or imperfection to repair

Get lightweight spackle and a putty knife if you don't have them

Apply spackle in thin coats, let each dry fully

Sand smooth when dry

If you have matching paint, apply a touch-up coat

Photograph the result

💡

Show us the before and after — the finished patch should be hard to spot.
