Default Re-fixing into knackered holes.

Removed a rad for redecorating. It's been loose for ages as a couple of
the fixing screws have come loose in their holes. Presumably I got a
joint when fixing it originally, also the plaster around the hole has
crumbled a bit.

I maybe able to relocate the hole a bit by moving the bracket slightly,
but I don't want to move the rad itself. I have used the expoy putty
before for plugging such a hole, but not sure it will work so well in
this situation, ditto for hammering bit's of wood in

Any other suggestions for getting a better fixing - the wall is being
skimmed as well.
