Hi

We have a plasterboard wall which is hollow, then another piece of
plasterboard 2 inches behind it. We had a towel rack fitted to the
wall with rawl plugs and screws but it came lose. I decided to put
it up again using some special plasterboard fittings ( a circle of
metal you screwed into the plasterboard which had a thread in the
middle to take the supplied screw.) Needless to say it lasted a week
and now I am left with big holes.

The rail needs to be fitted to the same location or the holes will
be visible and the wall is decorated with wallpaper and we have none
spare. The hole is too big for rawl plugs so I'm not sure how to
proceed. I was thinking of spraying some expandable foam into the
hole and pushing in a rawl plug, any other ideas on how I can fix
the bracket would be appreciated.


Car body filler. Stuff in newspaper below to support it, then fill
the holes and the cavity with that. It sticks like **** to
everything. When 'rubbery' sand flush and mount the rail
It will sperad the load over a wide area.
