Fill me in please!

What fillers do folks find easiest to use for filling in around minor works like chiselling into walls for back boxes etc?

For small jobs a tub of wickes deep hole filler is really handy.....

Tough Coat plaster as a base filler for chases etc (always get a plasterer to do a final skim), and, out on the raggedy edge, a dri-wall adhesive for minor repairs around back boxes, small holes in ceilings. Sets quickly and goes off rock hard. Again, never do as a final finish, that's for the decorator.

No Botox jokes please.

I was going to say "how tall are you and where do you live so I can come around and fill you in" joke (Polyfilla)

Possibly small bags are available...but a regular bag of multifinish is dirt cheap compared to filler. A trick of us old'uns is to leave an open bag of plaster in the shed/garage. You'll find that after a few weeks it'll go off much quicker than fresh plaster and is perfect for making good. I've currently got a bag that goes off in about 10 minutes and finishes just as well as fresh. No waiting around for flush sockets, chop out...box in...make good..socket on...out the door.

What sort of shed do you use?

In that case you can fill yourself in

I use plaster Bonding Coat with a bit of cement thrown in as a base filler/fixer. That mixture sets hard in no time flat.
Finish with Easyfill 45.

But as above, I prefer not to do any of that filling malarky (the same with plumbing)
