I've got some blown plaster in the middle of one of our walls that I need to patch up. I've scraped/pulled off the loose stuff, taken it back to where it's solid and given it a coat of watered down SBR in prep for filling.
The area is around 1m x 0.5m and only around 2-3mm deep ie just the finishing coat. Any suggestions on what would be the best product to fill this with would be? My plastering skills aren't up to much so hoping there is some modern day solution that almost does the job for you or do I just need to bite the bullet and whack some multi finish on it?

I would use Gyproc promix lite for something like that but I've always got a tub at hand, its quite pricy though. 2/3mm seems very thin for plaster, the top layer is usually that, some easifill would probably do the job.

I've never used it, and it seems pricy for what it is of course, but I see a load of decorator folk on Instagram using this roll on stuff.

Roll it on, smooth it with a broad scraper. Quick sand down and paint. You know it won't be that easy in real life though.

Toupret is what you need, I used it to fill the space left by a combi boiler move and you'd never know anything was ever there.

Easfill 60 or Toupret interior filler. I like the Toupret quick drying filler, easy to apply and looks great once sanded and painted.

Thanks all, wasn't sure if filler would be suitable for an area this size. As a bonus I've found a 2kg box of Toupret filler in the garage which I miraculously sealed up properly so hasn't gone hard. I'll give that a go 👍
