These patches are cut to the exact size needed to fill a standard single or double electrical socket / switch void (created by the removal of an old switch or socket).

Check the size you need :
  • Single socket standard size hole : 7.3 x 7.3 cm (or hole can be slightly bigger e.g. 7.6 x 7.6)
  • Double socket standard size hole : 13.3 x 7.3 cm (or hole can be slightly bigger e.g. 7.6 x 13.6)
(if the dimensions are different to the standard sizes message me and I can cut to the size you need)

The board is 12.5mm thick.

I also supply everything else you may need if you need it. 
  • Polyfilla - the right amount to cement in the patch and give at least a 3mm skim 
  • Filler knives
  • Sandpaper - 2x 120 grit fine paper (30cm x 11.5cm) 

The patches are cut to the exact size needed - you only get what you need delivered direct to your door.  No need to go and collect 2 meters plus of plasterboard and throw away what's not needed.

The patches use the "California patch" repair method - here is a video link below showing how it works : watch from 3mins 50 seconds to see how to fit the patch -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0mxQfnNDoY
  • It repairs plasterboard with plasterboard,
  • Inserts and fixes plasterboard to plasterboard
  • No need for wooden batons
  • No need to pack behind the hole
  • Simply plaster / polyfilla skim and sand to finish
  • Perfectly flat repair - no bulge.

Step by step guide 
Step 1 : measure the socket void and check the hole matches, or is a slightly bigger hole, than the standard patch size
Step 2 : Order and receive a patch for the size of the hole
Step 3 : Using the patch mark a square / rectangle 2cm perimeter outside the hole.  With a Stanley knife or paint scraper, take off the skimmed layer of plaster, or plaster board facing paper from the wall in this 2cm area.
Step 4 : After checking the patch fits into the hole use Polyfilla to stick the patch into the hole, and leave to set for a couple of hours; if the patch is slightly tight then make a hole a little larger using a craft / stanley knife or sandpaper first
Step 5 : Skim over the repair patch with Polyfilla, plaster or equivalent.  Slightly over-skim so that it can be sanded back.
Step 6 : Sand back the patch to a level smooth finish.  Repeat steps 5 and 6 to eliminate any imperfections.
