Removed a drain pipe from the kitchenette in a guest room. The question is how to fix this in the smoothest way (sufficiently tidied up with as little effort as possible?)?

Hole in wall from removed drain pipe in guest room pantry, with peeling paint and tape residue on the wall and floor.

Take the end of the drain and make a mold in plaster, use foam sealant to glue it in place. Putty and paint... done

Thank you for the tip!
 
I would probably have inserted some sort of beam behind it so that there is something to screw into.

You have a nick in the trim as well. Do you have the possibility to buy similar trim? If so, saw off the damaged piece and replace it with a new trim. If not, place a small piece of wood that you carve to be a little smaller than the hole. Then fill the rest with wood filler or plastic padding.

Regarding the hole in the plaster, I would definitely not use foam sealant; you have no idea where it will go. The standard method is a small piece of batten, like 22x43 or similar, and screw on both sides of the hole. Then fasten the repair piece with one or two screws and fill/paint.

Was advised by Bauhaus to use some kind of renovation plaster and putty/paint over it and then replace the molding.
 
Casco husfix rapid is good stuff, I filled a hole not so long ago by using expanding foam behind and the husfix on top.
 
A 20 cm molding strip that you attach using adhesive or mounting glue on the inside. Use a hole saw to cut out a round piece from a plasterboard, which you glue with adhesive or mounting glue onto the strip in the hole. Fill, sand, paint. And a new floor molding.
 
Remaining sanding, painting and new molding


Cracked plaster wall repair in progress, showing visible mesh tape and surrounding wooden surface with plaster debris.
