Hi all, I just replaced the switch for my unit (first time do it) and breaks the wall surrounded by the switch.

And, found it not flat when placing the new one (as picture). What can I do on it in order to make it flat?

Another question, May I check how could I fix the holes surrounded it? Was it any clay I could apply?

Seriously need help.

Next time b4 replacing any wall switches, use a cutter knife to slice the four sides and you wont likely to have the problem again.

For the uneven surface, use putty filler. Buy the smallest tub from any diy or hardware shop.

You also need a scraper blade to remove the loose cement and patch the uneven surface.
