Re: How to repair wall damage made by car?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @harry6. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing plaster.
 

It's really as easy as @Jewelleryrescue has mentioned for the plaster repair. However, I think your image doesn't fully reveal the extent of the damage. I can see that not only is the plaster cracked and has fallen away, but you've actually bent the corner trim fairly substantially, creating a bulge in the wall.
 

In order to create a seamless repair, that trim might need to be whacked back in the opposite direction to try to re-align it with the corner. Or, you might be able to work with it as is, but I suspect you need to do a fair bit of filling and sanding to conceal the bulge.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
