I have a bedroom curtain rail that is affixed with solid wall fixings.
The wall is solid plaster but the fixings are pulling out and the rail
looks about to fall down.

I have been sucessful with this method in other rooms.

Anyway can someone tell me the easiest way to sort this out?

TIA.

You really need to start by telling us the age of the property, and/or
more details about its construction, if you know that.

It's a modern extension, built about 10-15 years ago.

As others said, the wall will not be solid plaster but in a modern house
might be lightweight blockwork, which "feels" very similar.

It might be. All I really know that it's easy to drill into.

Ahh. You've got lightweight blocks. In which case you want fixings specifically designed for them.

OK. Great. Can you recommend any in particular? There seems to be
quite a lot of different fixings aimed at lightweight blocks.

No, maybe someone else can. It doesn't strike me as a demanding fixing situation though.
