Best indoor wall filler for this hole

Updated: October 2026

You are looking at a screw hole, a hairline, and tubs whose stars sit near 4.5. The best indoor wall filler in this set is the pack whose written job matches the hole, with the review count beside the stars. The [indoor wall filler comparison](/hub/fillers-adhesives-and-sprays/wall-filler-indoor) lists the twelve captured packs and their GBP prices. Mesh, tiles, and trim stay out of the pick. The if-then is the [indoor wall filler buying guide](/hub/fillers-adhesives-and-sprays/wall-filler-indoor/sub/wall-filler-indoor-buying-guide). Prices were written up on 16 October 2026 and were not rechecked that day. This is not a lab test. A qualifying purchase can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.

Our top picks

On this page

Best is a job, not a badge

A single best line hides the job. A crack of a couple of millimetres and a hole you build in 10 mm layers are different pastes. Trade lists often name Gyproc EasiFill or Toupret. Those powders were not in this scrape, so they are not a result here. A 4.7 from 13 reviews is a thin file. A 4.6 from 14,595 reviews is a long one. Neither figure is a British Standard or a Which? ranking. Mo's Super Store kit sits at 3.8 from five reviews and has no review text in the capture.

Screw holes and everyday paste

For an ordinary screw hole in sound plaster, the top pick in this set is the Polycell 330 g tube at about £3.49, rated 4.6 from 14,595 reviews. The seller bullets do not state a depth. On Polycell's multi-purpose page the line is holes up to 10 mm, then further layers. A 4 mm picture-hook nick is everyday paste. A void you can put a finger into is not. Sika's 600 g tub is the clearer spec at about 9 mm deep and 25 mm wide. It allows interior and exterior use if an outdoor repair is sealed with oil-based paint, and it is not for somewhere permanently wet. The tub is 4.4 from 5,464 reviews at about £4.49. Captured reviews say a thick fill is harder to sand.

Fine cracks and a larger tub

Palace Fine Surface, 600 g, is the best value fine filler in this set at about £1.25, rated 4.6 from 2,247 reviews. The listing caps layers at 3 mm. One reviewer used it on big holes and decided that was the wrong job. Polycell Fine Surface, at 2 mm indoors, was not in these twelve listings. Deeper than a 3 mm layer, the Palace 1 kg tub is about £6.99, rated 4.5 from 4,537 reviews, with layers no thicker than 10 mm. It is not for an exposed outside wall. Sinto at about £16.33 is near £3.27 per kilogram, against about £2.08 for Palace fine, and reviews mention lumps and fills that cracked.

Leave these out of a filler pick

The Decex kit is about £13.90 for 396 g plus tools. That is a kit price, not a per-kilo win against the Polycell tube, and its drillable bullet is not a second Polycell specification. FPNNZ mesh at 4.7 from 13 reviews is a thin file beside Polycell's 14,595. SOL's patches are a bridge you still fill over. Plugdoh regrips a loose plug. Tiles and vinyl trim do not enter a crack.

Common questions

What is the best indoor wall filler on this page?
There is no single winner. The top pick for an ordinary screw hole is Polycell 330 g, because 4.6 from 14,595 reviews is a far larger file than 4.7 from 13. Palace fine is the best value inside a 3 mm layer. Sika 600 g is the clearer size at 9 mm by 25 mm. Palace 1 kg is the larger tub for layers up to 10 mm.
Is Polycell 330 g the pick for ordinary screw holes?
Yes, in this set, for a normal screw hole in sound plaster, at about £3.49 and 4.6 from 14,595 reviews. Its bullets do not state a depth, so layer once you pass 10 mm on the multi-purpose page. It is the wrong tube for a hairline, and the wrong tube when you need 9 mm by 25 mm in writing.
Is Palace fine the pick for hairline cracks because it is £1.25?
The about £1.25 price makes it the best value fine tub, at about £2.08 per kilogram against Sinto at about £3.27. It fits a hairline because of the 3 mm layer and the feather edge, not the sticker alone. A deep hole is outside that job. Polycell Fine Surface at 2 mm was not captured here.
When is Sika 600 g the clearer spec?
Choose it at about 9 mm deep and 25 mm wide, or when an exterior repair will be sealed with oil-based paint. It is about £4.49 and 4.4 from 5,464 reviews. A shallow nick does not need that size, and thick fills are harder to sand. It is not a fine paste, and it is not for a permanently wet place.
When is the Palace 1 kg tub the better pack?
When you will build layers no thicker than 10 mm and you want 1 kg rather than a small tube. It is about £6.99 and 4.5 from 4,537 reviews. It is not for an exposed exterior or for a 3 mm feather. If paste would fall through plasterboard, mesh comes first.
Does 4.7 from 13 reviews beat 4.6 from 14,595?
No. Thirteen reviews can move a star quickly. The 14,595 reviews on Polycell 330 g are a different kind of evidence, and neither figure is a lab ranking.
