shelf repair help

Mar 09, 2010 3 Replies

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 bodge :)


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.
