Hello everyone,
I have a problem trying to fix the bathroom basin to the wall. The previous basin was fixed using a bracket which required 3 holes. Now where I need to drill is smack bang in the middle of these holes, and any more drilling in the area is going to weaken it... does anybody have any advice as to repair the wall? I'm thinking cutting a chunk out of the wall and filling it with concrete or a breeze block, or using a metal brace flush in the plaster and fixed to the wall, and therefore using drill holes in that to fix the basin to. Another is cutting a chunk out of the plaster and replacing it with aqua-board and using plaster-board fixings to hold the basin in place.
Please, let me know if that all sounds Mr Bean-like and tell me of a better idea if you know of one.
Thanks.
