I've got a problem with a fixing to a plasterboard wall.
Basically, one of the brackets that supported a curtain rail has come loose and the fixing hole has become enlarged. The hole is now too big for an 8mm rawlplug, but not deep enough for a 10mm rawlplug, nor deep enough for a metal anchor.
I'd prefer to avoid having to drill into the plaster behind th plasterboard. Does anyone have have any suggestions or know of shorter rawlplugs that still fit a 10mm hole?
Why? - that would seem to be the only sensible aproach.

Lack of DIY ability to be fair. Which probably answers the question regarding filling and re-drilling, I just don't have a clue whether that would work, as in would the filled hole hold the bracket?
