Needed to take a small section out of an exsisting stud wall to make access through a horizontal piece of timber for new cables to pass through.

Its only a few inches square but is at eye level so would be easily spotted to the trained eye if I fock it up.

Just wondering on the best way to patch it back up.

Any tricks?  I have the piece of plasterboard.  Is it a case of fixing it back onto the timber and touching up over it?

Any recommendations on the type of filler/mix I use?  What would leave a good finish etc.  EG filler then board finish or what???

Might seem like a simple question I know but the jobs for family and want to leave it looking as good as new as possible.

All help appreciated.

Cheers.
