How to fix paint chips on wall Bunnings

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @asandhu. It's great to have you join us and many thanks for your question.

You should find this step-by-step guide helpful: How to patch plaster. To complete an unnoticeable repair, you must get a close match of paint to cover the area. You can either take a 10 cent sized paint chip into one of our stores, or you could pick up several white/off-white colour cards and match them against the wall.

This is not the type of damage that you would typically forfeit an entire bond over. It's an accident that a professional can quickly fix for a reasonable amount of money.

If you have any more of these, you need to pull down on the release tab. It appears the release tab broke in this case and then you needed to pull the hook off. If the tab ever breaks, place dental floss behind the hook. Whilst holding either end of it use a sawing motion to cut the adhesive pad off the wall. You'll then be able to clean the residue off.

Please let me know if you need further help or had questions.

Hi @unawarek,

As someone with an almost three-year-old daughter, I can relate. She too has now noticed any areas of paint that can be picked off.

As you've mentioned, I'd suggest filling with Spakfilla and tapering/blending the hard edges of the chipped area into the surrounding wall. After sanding it smooth to the touch, prime the area with British Paints 100ml White Prep 4 In 1 Water Based Primer Sealer Undercoat before top coating with your choice of paints.

Here's a step-by-step guide which you should find useful: How to patch plaster.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Overview

Got a hole in your wall? At risk of losing your rental bond when it's time to move out? Don't panic, it's super easy to patch a hole, here's how to do it.

Tools and materials

Steps

1Gather your tools and materials

Below are all of the tools and materials you'll need to complete this project.

2Clean the area

This could get messy, so best to place a drop sheet down to protect your carpet. The next step is to clean up around the hole and get rid of any excess plaster – you want to make this job as easy for yourself as possible. You can use a putty knife or sandpaper block to do this. You want your hole to be clean and dry before you stick the patch on.

3Apply the patch

Once you've purchased the right size drywall patch (there are plenty of options available at Bunnings), peel off the backing sticker and cover the hole. Press firmly to secure it. Reinforce it by sliding your putty knife or spatula along and press it down nice and firm – you want it to be completely smooth.

4Apply your plaster

Grab some Smooth Coat and start from the inside of the patch and work your way out, smoothing the plaster over just like you're icing a cake.

5Wait for the first coat to dry

Once your first coat is dry, give the area a light sand – pop a dust mask on to do this bit.

6Add another coat of plaster

Add another layer of Smooth Coat. Give it one last sand and it should look as though nothing at all has happened! Just like magic!

7Paint

Once your hole is repaired, you're ready to paint. How easy was that?
