Pretty much any filler will do it but some will need 2 coats and allow time for shrinkage. Others will fill to any depth (supposedly without shrinking). It helps with that kind of substrate if you wet it before applying the filler otherwise the dry walls suck the moisture out of the filler around the edges causing it to crack.

Please excuse the pic. When drilling a hole for a curtain holdback hook, the wall didn't like it. Mix of old plaster, bit of metalwork and a fresh skim on top I think.
The hook actually goes in but obviously I want to make it nice. Can I just use TouPret filler or should I fill the hole with something more solid/drillable and then finish with toupret?
