How do I repair this?

[WallsGa]

Had a leak in a hose a week ago. The plumber came and repaired it, but now I have a hole in the sheet rock. It measures 4.5” x 10”, is in a tight space in a garage closet.

What do I need from the Depot to fix and seal it so cold air doesn‘t get in the walls? Please use small words. Anything more complicated than a light switch is normally out of my league.

Hang a white board for notes

Looking at that water damage, I’d get somebody to replace that whole sheet.

And not being up to date on modern plumbing materials, somebody in plumbing, what is that mass of hose clamps on the pipes?

A piece of sheetrock. Fiberglass tape and mud and mud knives. 4" and 6" wide. Paint.
Bevel the edges 45 degrees to 1/3 of the depth beforehand around the hole. It will hide the seam better.

Im no plumber but they could have easily done a better job with that pex.

Look up “hot patch” for Sheetrock…Easy to do, great results.

fast and dirty is expanding spray foam. Not pretty but it'll seal it up

It needs more hose clamps, pieces of pipe, bends, connection types, colors, and different types of materials. Then, I would fix the hole.

Being in a closet i assume I would just patch it take a piece of drywall about three inches larger and trim the back side of piece to fit hole leaving paper on front to extend over old wall and install with dry wall mud. Smooth and repeat mud till covered well, then sand and paint. Walaa. Good luck
