what’s the point of OP spending money by having a plumber look at that, when he’s got us?!

I see, you basically want to make something like a 7cm long washer to secure the cabinet….you can use a piece of wood, I mean would be my choice! anyways, good luck!

it’s in the bedroom… replacing a brik with mortar would make a mess. Masonry drill + rawplug + screw a diameter of 5 or 6 mm should be sufficient; mark the spots (you need 2 anchoring points) drill the holes, use the vacuum cleaner to suck out the dust from the freshly drilled holes and put the rawplug in. After that, put the shelf into position and add the screws in from the inside of the cabinet - voilla!

I think he meant like a tighter fit: put teflon tape on the “father” pipe to give it more girth so you almost have to push it in. after that put a hose clamp on it and it is for sure a durable solution!
