Disclosed is a repair kit apparatus and a method for repairing holes in drywalls, sheet-rock or gypsum board. The repair kit comprises a template having a saw guide or diagonal slot, one or more repair plugs, patching compound and instructions for effecting the method of repairing the drywall. The template is used to cut out a portion of the drywall about the damaged area, with the drywall being at a sloped angle or contoured inwardly. The repair plug has a peripheral sloped wall edge and is dimensioned for being insertable into the cutout with its sloped wall edges abutting the sloped or contoured wall portions defining the prepared drywall cutout. The repair plug may be mounted within the drywall cutout such that its outermost (face) surface is slightly recessed below the surface of the drywall. Next, patching compound may be applied over the repair plug to form a relatively flat smooth wall surface.

A method of repairing a damaged portion of a previously installed drywall such as sheet-rock and plasterboard and the like, comprising the steps of: placing a template (10) over the damaged portion of the drywall (41) so that the damaged portion is visible through a template window (75); temporarily securing the template to the drywall; inserting a saw blade (25) into a template slot (12,13,14 and 15) of the template and through the drywall; circumscribing a window (42) in the drywall about the damaged portion with said window being defined by sloped wall edges (43,44,45 and 46); removing the template from the drywall; removing the damaged section of the drywall (48); smoothing the outer surface of the drywall about window (41) to generally smooth any ragged edges; removing any loose debris from and about the sloped wall edges (43,44,45 and 46); moistening the sloped wall edges (43,44,45 and 46); preparing a repair plug (27) with sloped wall edges (33,34,35 and 36) by moistening the sloped wall edges and covering them with a layer of patching compound; inserting the repair plug into the window (42) put in the drywall; applying inward pressure on the repair plug to seat the repair plug such that its sloped wall edges (33,34,35 and 36) abut or are juxtaposed with a respective one of said sloped wall edges (43,44,45 and 46) defining the circumscribed window (42), with a layer of patching compound being interposed therebetween, and with the front surface (31) of the repair plug being recessed slightly below the front surface (76) of the drywall; and applying patching compound over the front surface (31) of the repair plug to form a smooth surface (50) with the front surface (76) of the drywall.
