Walls on campus are bound to get a bit banged up over time—whether it’s from moving furniture, constant foot traffic, or just the wear and tear of daily life. But don’t stress—repairing those walls is easier than you think, and with a few simple steps, you can restore them to their former glory.

First things first, assess the damage. If you’ve got holes, cracks, or scuff marks, the fix will vary. Small holes are easy to patch with some spackle or wall filler. For bigger holes, you might need a bit of drywall repair. Apply the filler or spackle, smooth it out with a putty knife, and let it dry. Once dry, sand it smooth before repainting.

If you’re dealing with scuff marks, try using a gentle cleaner or a magic eraser to wipe them away. For stubborn marks, a fresh coat of paint may do the trick. When painting, use a color that matches the existing wall shade to keep it seamless.

In cases where your walls have sustained more severe damage, like water stains or cracking drywall, it may be worth bringing in a professional. But for most everyday fixes, a little DIY goes a long way.

Campus wall repairs don’t have to be a headache. With a bit of time and the right tools, you can restore those walls and keep your campus spaces looking fresh and clean. It’s all about simple fixes with big results.
