I'm pretty competent but I have an iissue where a rawplug fixing has come out of the wall (plaster and breeze block construction) and now the hole is much larger, therefore I need to fill it somehow with something strong enough to bond with the substrate and the plug and hold up the fixing (a curtain rail)

Any ideas? L319 D4 HSE

Either try a larger more substantial raw plug or fill the hole and start again. Always drill a slightly smaller hole than is reccomended for the raw plug in question to be used.

They don't make raw plugs this big! The hole is about the size of a 20p coin diameter.

I know I need to fill the hole, just not sure what material to use that will do the filling part but also be strong enough to hold the fixing again.

Try filling it with normal filler (use the powder that you mix yourself as it is much better than the ready mixed). Fill your hole, then push in a new plug while the filler is still wet. Let it dry for 24hrs. Then it should be good enough put a screw back into it. Matt

Or you could glue some match sticks into the hole to reduce it's size to where the rawlplug will fit, or you could entirely fill to hole with glued matchsticks or small dowl, long enough to completely go back to the breaze blocks then use a self tapper to attach the curtain rail - my brother cured a hole in my walls using this method when my curtain rail fell out. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

fill it with gripfill or no nails works quite well just needs a bit more time to set

A Sand and cement mix would do the job. Gripfill stuff ok but need the quality stuff. More exspensive tubes not the 99p screwfix no nails.

Thanks for replies, fixed it with filler and a large plasterboard plastic fixing with a deep thread on it, seems to have done the job. L319 D4 HSE
