A run of 2.5mm2 swa cable and clips that supply a workshop have
somehow got pulled out of the brickwork, rather than replace the wall
plugs would just pushing the screws in to the old holes filled with
resin anchor hold better in soft bricks?

If you want the screws to be tight and hold the clips properly, you'd have
to put pressure on each one until the resin sets.

Why not put the plugs back, held in with resin and put the screws back once
the resin has set?

I have successfully stuck wallplugs back into slightly dodgy holes
preceded by a squirt of neat PVA, allowing it to dry before replacing
the screw. Ordinary wood adhesive would probably work too (usually comes
in convenient squirty tubes). The plug needs to be a reasonable push
fit, not completely loose. Decorator's filler takes too long to set in
that geometry.

or

When about 50m of cable fixed with these cleats held by screws and
plugs

http://www.screwfix.com/p/tower-swa-...ck-of-25/45541

got taken walkies by a forklift it was re fixed by filling each hole
(after blowing it clean) with hot melt adhesive and pushing the plug
and screw back in. Held for several years.

That might be worth a bash.

Thanks these ones are a bit smaller but they have the same ones as
Peter's link, price delivered is comparable with Screwfix collected so
I'll try some.

Slightly bigger plugs? Maybe Fischer plugs.
