I installed some shelves some years back onto a plasterboard wall *smack on
wrist* on side has come away from the wall, the hole has widened up a bit
and the plasterboard is flappling about.

Is there anyway to fix this ?

theres 3 shelves intotal, in a stacked display so its a major ball ache to
have to remove them all and re-drill. I was hoping for some kinda instant
fix maybe fatter plasterplug to fill the bigger hole ?

Thanks

if you can refix to the timber upright, in any way possible, do so!

If not you could massively (over)fill the holes and refix, but fixing
shelves to PB is never a geat plan. The other option is to cut a piece
of ply to go behind the unit and fix it to the PB in multiple places,
and fix the shelves to it.
