How can I fix my floating shelf after pulling screws and anchors out of the drywall?

Asked By CharmingBear99 On

I accidentally pulled out screws and anchors while removing a floating shelf from my wall. I've got two other shelves aligned with it, so I need to get this one back to the same height. Is there a way to fix this? Should I consider using different anchors? I'm thinking about utilizing the mounting bracket that has holes closer to the center to hide the gaps with larger anchors. I'll only put lighter items on this shelf since it's quite big. Any suggestions?

You could fill the holes with some wall filler, let it dry, and then put the anchors and screws back in. Just make sure to choose a strong filler that can handle the weight of the shelf. It's a straightforward fix!

What type of filler should I use to ensure it's solid enough? Any recommendations?
