I'm drilling a hole in my bathroom wall, but I hit masonry/brick after drilling through the plasterboard. I need to drill an extra say 5mm before the screw will fit. What should I do, continue to drill a bit more into the masonry with a stronger drill bit?
You need a masonry bit.
You need a hammer drill.
You need a plug.
And once you go into brick, you will also need a plug for the screw to go into. A plasterboad fixing will not work if brick work is directly behind the plasterboard... Plasterboard fixings are inteded to be used when there is nothing present behind the plaster board for hollow spaces.
