PAtching a bit of render

Hello all,

I have briked up a small hole where an extractor fan used to be. The rest of the wall is rendered with that stuff that you spray on and looks like readybreak (sorry, I don't know what it's really called).

Anyway, I need to patch it up now. I don't expect it to look perfect by any stretch, but I'm wondering:

- what to render with (I don't want to buy kilo's of cement, etc as I only need to do this one small hole). Is there a good 'readymix' type product, or something in small quantities?
- how to approximate the current finish

Any help gratefully received.

is it tyrolean finished render?

I don't know. I'm afraid I'm a total novice. How would I tell?

tyrolean is a rough built up finish that is applied by a machine that flicks it onto the wall.

that's what it looks like to me
