The drywall repair kit includes at least one support plate (12), a replacement drywall board (24), a roll of fiberglass mesh drywall tape, a drywall saw, and a plurality of fasteners (18). The support plate (12) is an elongated plate perforated to form a grid of closely spaced starter holes (20), and has a plurality of transverse score lines (22) spaced at regularly spaced intervals so that the plate (12) is frangible along the score lines (22) to adjust the length of the plate (12). In use, at least one support plate (preferably a pair) (12) is inserted through a pre-formed hole (26) in the drywall (14) and fastened to the rear of the hole (26) by driving fasteners (18) through the drywall panel (14) and perforations (20). The replacement board (24) is fastened to the support plate(s) (12). Fiberglass mesh drywall tape is applied to the joint, which is then spackled, dried and sanded, and the patch is painted.
