Plumbing or electrical work can leave a hole in drywall. With a few simple techniques, you can repair the hole so it's invisible when finished.
Step 7: Place the patch in the hole and attach to wood bracing Place the patch in the prepared space and attach it to the wood supports using drywall screws spaced four inches apart. Lightly sand the perimeter of the existing wallboard to prepare the surface for the seam tape and joint compound. Use drywall screws spaced every four inches to hold the patch in place.
