Whether you're moving into a new space, redecorating, or simply want to refresh your walls, dealing with unsightly holes can be a common task. But fear not, patching up those holes is a straightforward DIY project that can make your walls look flawless once again. Wizard Fix will walk you through the process of filling holes in your wall, whether they're small nail holes or larger gaps left by anchors.

Tools and Materials You'll Need:
- Spackling compound or wall filler
- Putty knife or a small trowel
- Fine-grit sandpaper
- Primer (if necessary)
- Paint that matches your wall color
- Paintbrush or a small roller
- Clean, damp cloth
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Before you begin, gather all the necessary materials and tools. Make sure you have the right paint color to match your wall. No need to spend extra money on supplies you may not use again, with Wizard Fix we can bring along everything to paint your dream room!
Step 2: Clean the Hole
Using a clean, damp cloth, wipe away any dust or debris around the hole. This ensures better adhesion for the patching up compound.
Step 3: Fill the Hole
For small nail holes, simply apply a small amount of spackling compound or wall filler to the hole with a putty knife or trowel. Press the compound firmly into the hole and smooth it out so it's flush with the wall surface. For larger holes, you may need to use a patch or mesh tape before applying the filler. Patching up creates a smooth and easy base to work with. Feeling to confused you can give Wizard Fix a call, email or book online to have a handyman come and help with any issues.
Step 4: Let it Dry
Allow the patching up compound to dry completely. Drying times can vary depending on the product, so follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 5: Sand the Surface
Once the filler is dry, use fine-grit sandpaper to gently sand the patched area until it's smooth and blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall. Wipe away any dust with a clean, damp cloth.
Step 6: Prime (if necessary)
If the patched area looks noticeably different from the rest of the wall, you may need to apply a coat of primer to ensure even paint coverage. Let the primer dry. Wizard Fix handymen are able to help prime walls easily, so no more extra fuss.
Step 7: Paint
Finally, paint over the patched area with your wall paint. Use a paintbrush or a small roller, and apply as many coats as needed to match the surrounding wall. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
Step 8: Blend
To achieve a seamless finish, feather the paint out slightly beyond the patched area to blend it with the rest of the wall. Using Wizard Fix will allow you to have professionally painted walls in a few days. No need to take out valuable days out of your schedule, let Wizard Fix handle it for you.
Step 9: Clean Up
Clean your tools and brushes promptly with warm, soapy water.
