Repair and reinstall clothes rail in plasterboard wall
$40
South Melbourne VIC 3205, Australia
16th Mar 2026
My clothes hanging rail has come out of the plasterboard wall because the wall anchors failed. The rail itself is fine, but the screws and anchors pulled out of the wall. Job required: Repair the damaged plasterboard holes (fill/patch if needed) Install stronger wall anchors (e.g. toggle bolts or proper plasterboard anchors) Reinstall the clothes rail securely The rail holds hanging clothes, so it needs to be mounted strongly so it doesn’t pull out again.
