There used to be a product many years ago for plugging drilled holes so you
could redrill next to the existing hole. I think it was asbestos based so
haven't seen it for years.
I have used mortar but it is a pain to wait days for it to go off. Is there
anything around that I can plug a drilled hole with and redrill the same
day.

I will try it. The good thing about the stuff I used to use was you could
form it into a cylindrical shape then ram it it into the hole but not so
good if it did contain asbestos I guess.

At least one type of resin is quick setting, car body filler uses it

Or you could try this:

And watch the video:

And buy it:

http://www.screwfix.com/p/fischer-fill-fix/54983

Or use any of the usual polyurethane adhesives which foam. Maybe add some
filler?

? I thought it was made by Rawlplug. Fibrous grey stuff that you
dampened then stuffed in the hole. I've probably still got some in the
back of the shed.

Oh, not come across that, looks handy.

I was going to suggest Epoxy Putty, which I've used to refill a hole
which I then re-drilled to fix a boiler up

That looks like the same thing as epoxy putty. Is that what you meant?

The fill & fix is polyurethane.

If you mean expoxy putty, yes, that's what that is, rather than the fill
and fix

Epoxy putty isn't as good for this as polyester putty (anyone seen
P38 car filler lately?). You can use it, if that's what you have or
can make, but polyester is usually the resin in the hole filling &
resin wallplug sets. Evo-stik's polyester outdoor filler
(Toolstation) isn't bad here either, and pretty quick to harden.
Filled polyester putties (unlike epoxy) can have double doses of
hardener added for a faster set.

I have tubes of 'hole filler' especially for that task ... that work in my
standard hot melt glue gun.
