I'me decorating my bathroom and decided to remove some shelving. - obviously now I have some screw holes, with Raw plugs visible. How do I remove the raw plugs (if I need too) then what do I use to fill the holes ready to paint over?

get a new screw and screw it into the old rawplug until the plug grabs the screw and then using a pliers, grap the screw and give it a good "yank" and presto!! out comes the plug, then fill with polyfilla or other painters filler, making sure you leave it a little "proud" ( sticking out a bit) then just give it a rub with some sand paper when it goes hard …and paint
white cement or plaster of paris, both fill in well and can be painted the color of the wall/tile.
I don’t know RAW plugs but, fill the holes with Spackle.
is the walls ceramic or painted , if ceramic u shold fill with grout coloured similar to ceramic colour , if paint the undercoat of the paint with some white cement can fill those holes
if the plugs stick out of the wall…then yes, remove w/ pliers or something of the sort…if they don’t stick out…then don’t worry about removing them and cover the hole w/ spackle…let it dry then you can just paint over it…good luck!
tap the plugs into the sheet rock with a hammer so they are just below the surface. then cover the plug with joint compound. After sanding them smooth and painting, you’ll never know they were there.
There is a new product(check with hardware store)it fills the holes with no crumbling or shrinking and is very light weight. drys fast too and is paintable. "the new spaekle"
Sheetrock putty will fill the holes. use more than you need and then let dry and sand down evenly. then you can paint it
