Default repairing wall around socket

thought it would be easy to replace a faceplace for a plug
socket....but when taking the old one off, most of the surrounding
paint/plaster has come away. now im left with a sandy/crumbly area
around the back box.

how can i repair this?? the hole now is a lot bigger than the
faceplace. should i get plasterer to do it or can i use filler? will i
need to put pva on the sandy area to seal it ?
