Default Fixing curtain pole track pulling from wall

Also, it seems odd they are pulling from the wall, are the curtains
particularly heavy? Is there somebody in the household who yanks them
because they are sticking perhaps. This is easy to fix with some cleaning
and lubrication if its a properly designed rail.
Maybe you need rawl bolts, done right you can swing on those once they are
in.

I've been tasked by swmbo with fixing a couple of curtain tracks that are
pulling from the wall. One is a standard white curtain rail fixed in
multiple points, the other is a pole with only two fixings, one at each
end.

Both are pulling from a brick wall which is plastered over, and neither
fixing can take a larger screw.

How can I successfully repair the holes such that I can use the same
sized screws in holes which are strong enough not to pull out again?


Longer screws...
