Repairs to internal walls

[lefkes]

In the U k to repair holes and marks to interior walls which were finished in smooth plaster it was just a case of filling holes with a product like pollyfiller ,sanding it down to match the smooth surface followed by a coat of paint.Here in Cyprus the walls have a rough textured finish and if using a smooth product and sanding down the repair it stands out like a sore thumb . Any tips on what products to use and how to get that rough textured look ?? Thanks for any replies in advance. Lefkes.

Mix some coarse sand in with the Polyfiller before use.

Thanks for the info.what would really help if there was a ready mix product available with a gritty texture so holes could be filled, leveled a bit then painted.Since retiring here ,always looking for the easy option. Lefkes.
