Get a jar of non-shrinking spackling, fill in dent, let dry, smooth flat with a fine sandpaper, a tiny paint roller used for leaving a texture dipped in matching paint, and VOILA!fitz_calc said:So we managed to damage a wall at our apartment:

Handymen of the forums, how would you repair?
If it's a small wall, you can paint it a different color and have a fancy "accent wall". Back in hippy days, this is how you wound up with hideous flowers and other weird things painted over holes.edward said:Do you have any paint to match. That always seems to be the hardest part. There must be at least 27 different shades of white. Home improvement stores can mach paint but you will need to take in a chip about the size of a quarter.
The cost for wall repair by a handyman can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the location of the wall. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $150 and $500 for small repairs, and between $500 and $1500 for larger repairs.
The time it takes for a handyman to complete a wall repair will depend on the size and complexity of the project. Minor repairs may only take a few hours, while larger repairs can take several days. Your handyman will be able to provide a more accurate estimate once they have assessed the damage.
The materials used for wall repair will depend on the type of damage and the type of wall. For example, drywall repairs may require joint compound and drywall tape, while plaster repairs may require joint compound and plaster patching material. Your handyman will be able to determine the appropriate materials for your specific repair needs.
In most cases, a well-done wall repair by a professional handyman should not be noticeable. However, if the damage was extensive or if the wall had a unique texture or finish, there may be some slight variations in appearance. Your handyman will do their best to match the existing wall as closely as possible.
Before your handyman arrives, it is best to clear the area around the damaged wall to allow for easy access. If there are any valuable or fragile items on the wall, it is also a good idea to remove them beforehand. Additionally, if you have any specific concerns or requests, be sure to communicate them with your handyman prior to the repair.
