Hi All,
I got this bath shelf unit.
Got it with the property actually and I am about to replace it with a newer similar one.

I would like to plug that hole where the shelf unit seems to disappear to into the ceiling so my newer shelf unit actually rests into the celing and not through it into the attic.

Whats the simplest way to do this or should I bring in a professional/ somebody who knows what they are more likely to know what they are doing better than me?
Is there a wall plug I can buy or something that can go through the hoe then clamp just inside it ( I am dreaming up ideas here but you folks may have a more realistic practical solution).

What I am planning to do is actually remove one of my old shelves, place it up against the hole cos the shape fits the recess then use a soap dish to help the newer bath shelf unit keep it in place. It won't won't look particularly nice but it is one solution.
Any better ideas?

I am not much of a DIY'er.

See pictures.

I would personal use some one coat plaster, and also tape the hole up with plaster repair tape first. But it will fill with something similar to poly-filler, may take a couple or three applications to completely infill the hole though.
 
Well detach the thing or at least peel back the paper so we can see what happens at the top of the pole.

Ugh! And bleach those bloody tiles too!

Looks like an expanding sprung loaded pole, top has probably punched it's way thru the ceiling.?
