As a total novice, is this something I can sort myself or would I immediately regret it and wish I'd got a plasterer in?
Speaking as a novice, in my limited experience plastering small to medium sized areas is really easy. But it can be incredibly time consuming. More so when you see the speed of a professional.
That said, the time it's going to take you to find someone - almost no one will bother for such small work - you may as well buy a tub of premix plaster and DIY.

New front door and frame went in yesterday, but has been left with a few fairly deep holes around the edge where the plaster has come away.
As a total novice, is this something I can sort myself or would I immediately regret it and wish I'd got a plasterer in? Presumably as it's just patching, it'd be a couple of hours work and shouldn't cost too much, right?
