Hi

I have a plasterboard wall, where I drill two holes and placed pasterboard rawplugs in them.

The first hole hit a wood baton, so that is as secure as anything.
The second was just plasterboard.
I inserted both plugs, then tiled the splash back.

As I come to fit the sink (with pedestal), one of the plugs seems loose.

What should I do?

1) Push plug through and try and get a second one through? (possibly having to widen the hole in the tile)
2) Lots of pink grip and 1 firm plug and pedestal?
3) Take off tiles, cut a hole and try to fix in some wood to the batons, to act as an anchor? (this one does seem the most secure, but hardest).

What do you think?

That could work.

I drill a size 10 hole and put in a plasterboard plug.

/edit/ Just noticed it is size 8 drill bit, hopefully I can find a larger one/

hopefully this will be large enough to fill that hole and sit firmly in it.

Will have to drill a larger hole in the tile to slot it in.

But cheers for the advice.

you'll need one of those guns to work the cavity fixing - otherwise it'll just spin round and around and tear you a bigger hole in your plasterboard.
