    looking for some advice. I have a sink that's come away from the wall. The original screws and rawl plugs have detached from the wall and the original holes in the plasterboard are now too big to add a new rawl plug. I've tried using those anchor rawl plugs, but the problem is I can't get the screw through the hole in the sink as it's too wide.

    "Tec7" sink to wall
    or

    "No More Nails" (screws)
    or

    "Grip Fill"

    Drill into the Wall behind the plasterboard and use long Rawl Anchors. Hang the sink onto the anchors and secure with Washers and nuts.

    Take your point about Stud Wall. I thought it was a dry lined Wall.
