How to fill in a circular hole ?

How can I fill in a circular hole that was made in my new plasterboard wall ? It is only about the size of a 10p.
Was drilled out for radiator pipe then plumber changed
the position of radiator. Would like to keep the wall looking smooth.

Any of the usual fillers or plasters will do - choose one that sets rapidly if you can. You may find that you can't fill the hole in one go so be patient - put some filler in, let it set then add some more until the filler is higher than the surface of the wall. Then let the filler dry completely before sanding it down. Polyfilla range recommended - tubes or tubs available.
