- 1). Remove the shower rod and its end brackets from the walls, if applicable.
- 2). Scrape the blade of a putty knife or a piece of sandpaper across the wall surface over the screw holes to remove any small, loose pieces of drywall.
- 3). Apply a small dollop of lightweight filler putty to the wall surface using a putty knife, pulling the putty across the drywall surface at the screw holes to fill them. Repeat the application until each of the holes has been filled with putty.
- 4). Allow the lightweight filler putty to cure for 10 to 15 minutes, until it's dried completely.
- 5). Sand over the filled screw holes with sandpaper or sand block or pad to flush the wall surface and complete the patch for painting.
