filling hole where small fire was do i need mesh tape ?

[Gary111]

Hi, Ive removed a small electric fire and i want to fill the hole.

Im not very good at skimming so Im thinking I can just butt the plasterboard flish with the existing wall, then fill round the edges, do I need mesh tape or paper tape , or do i even need to use tape ?
thanks
