Very neat and accurate work - what I do with situations like these is to whittle down a piece of wooden plugging and hammer it into the existing hole and then finish it flush with a sharp chisel.

Thanks, but your method would be no good in this situation.. your method is best to fill wood holes... not brick or plaster...

@@serge.crispino418 yes I know things like skirting and picture rails, door charms in the past would have wooden blocks fitted between cement lines.. old school... not saying it won't work its just not the best.. quick fix like you say if no filler to hand.. but it needs to go into the brick otherwise it will just fracture the plaster in a lot of cases... thanks

If a dth antenna wall plug comes off & the antenna gets lose, how to fix it instantly without waiting long time for the cement to get harder?

Not sure I followed this. Is there a reason you don't just fill the holes, wait to dry, then drill them as new and put in new plugs?

Holes are already there just too big.. plus did you not see how close the wires are.. this was easy.

I find polyester resin works very well for this sort of job, just be sure to blow/ vacuumed the holes out then inject the resin in and push in the plug and screw into it once dry. Good fix though.

@@RayMondElec If you Google rawplug r-kem 11 this is what I last used recently, most other brand resin products work well, but you must get the hole as dust free as possible. It is about £6 a tube from screwfix or toolstation so not something you would use all the time but works very well when you must get a very strong fixing and can't move the hole say fixing blinds or towel rails etc were the past fixings have failed and the plug holes are oversized.
