Disclaimer - I am an absolute newbie!

I drilled holes into a concrete wall for a large (approx 1m x 1m) 10kg mirror yesterday, and the result of the effort is a mirror which is around 5mm lower on the left side. 5mm isn't a lot, but the slight slant is enough bother me. What is the best way to fix this?

If I fill one of the holes in with a filler, I'm assuming drilling close to it when it dries is is not a good idea? Is the only option I have to start again somewhere lower down?

Reposition your mirror about 1" from where it was before if you can....left or right, up or down.
Then use a thinner masonry bit that will bite into the wall with greater accuracy.
If the mirror has two fixings - top and bottom - fix the top one first, then level the mirror correctly so that you can mark the position of the bottom one.

If you need the screw fairly close just widen the existing hole and fill the lot, with the plug in place (screw partially in) when you fill it.

Should b as long as its not the only hole and they aren't all filled . if its 1 of 4 then no prob but don't quote me!
