Abstract: Described is a drywall repair system that includes a flexible plate defining at least one void, and an anchoring protuberance extending generally transverse from a first surface of the flexible plate. The anchoring protuberance includes a hollowed center region, a first end proximate the flexible plate and a second end opposite the first end, the second end defining an anchoring hole that extends through the second end to the hollowed center region. The flexible plate is deformable and is configured to deform in order to pass through a drywall hole and reform into a generally planar shape that spans the entirety of the drywall hole once it has passed through the drywall hole. Upon anchoring the flexible plate in place by driving a securing element driven through the flexible plate and anchoring protuberance and hole and pressing against a separate surface, the plate can be covered with a hardening repair paste. Method of repairing holes in drywall surfaces utilizing such a system are also described.
