Curtain pole bracket in plasterboard pulling away

JAllen_2 · 2023-01-08 18:48:23

I notice one of my curtain pole brackets that is fixed into plasterboard is starting to pull away. Is there any way to fix this, or the only recourse to attach a baton and fix the brackets to that?

It could also be one of the older catnic boot lintels, which would mean you were drilling into metal.

Drilling into metal the same applies, better drill better bit but slower and more pressure
