Default patching hole in wallboard about the size of a quarter.

The kids had a towel bar over the sink and pulled it loose. tried to use
those screws that expand abd they pulled a bigger hole. would I be better
off cutting the hole out and fitting it with a new piece of wallboard and
going through all that mess or is there a easier way.
Thanks.


Get a new towel bar if the trim on the old one isn't big enough to
cover the hole and mount it with a toggle bolt.

or

Get one of those stick on drywall patches, paint over it and mount the
old towel rack to a stud. The towel hanging on the rack will disguise
the patch next to it.
