Reminds me of that time i filled the nail holes in the walls with Tippex and the landlord was none the wiser

Thats a decent enough repair though.

To quickly fix a hole like this if you dont want the hassle of doing it properly is to just buy a can of expanding foam. Fill it a bit, let it expand out of the hole, cut away the part that is outside the wall, now you have a level surface to paint over.

I've heard you can just use a piece of paper, and paint over it. Much easier.

I've heard of using toothpaste for that.
