Small patches run $75–$200; larger repairs or water damage $300–$800+. Cost depends on hole size, texture matching, and painting. A single small hole is DIY-friendly; multiple areas or textured/ceiling work is worth hiring out for a seamless finish. A handyman can usually knock out several patches in one visit.
