A wall patch includes a body with a lower surface and an upper surface. An
adhesive is located on the lower surface to secure the wall patch to a
wall surface. The upper surface is ready-to-paint and can also be
pre-textured, if desired. A center reinforcement can be a rigid plastic
or metal wall patch, or a flexible plastic or fibered paper wall patch,
without a textured upper surface. A method for repairing a hole in a wall
includes placing a wall patch over the hole and directly painting the
upper surface of the wall patch. The method can further include placing a
center reinforcement over the hole before applying the wall patch.
