    I don't understand exactly what you need to do... are you trying to level the pollybond around to hole to paint it, or do you need to free up the wire in the hole?

    Assuming you dont need to move the cables then you just need to get the polybond to a level below the surrounding wall.
    Then use skimcoat or polyfilla to get a finish that you can sand to a seamless joint.

    Is this what you mean?

    Use an old wood chisel or wall paper scraper to cut back some of the excess. dont worry about a mess, as long as its lower than the wall depth you can fill.


    FYI you shouldnt ever try and fill more than 1-2cm in one go, otherwise it runs and takes forever to dry. Do it in a few stages, its much easier.
