Anyone know anything about electricity? I nicked a cable in a wall about a year ago, it wasn't that stressful but just caused the rcd to trip every so often. I was drilling to mount a towel rail, so I just mounted it anyway, ignoring the hole that I'd drilled; Barney (brother of @mashton) reckoned this would be fine.
I've removed the rail, thus exposing the hole again and the rcd has begun tripping again (like a couple of times a day). I'm 99% sure that it must be that hole that's the cause, as nothing else in the house has changed. Anyone know what I can do short of pulling bits of wall / tiles out to fix it? I was wondering if filling the hole with something (for example a bit of wood dowel, or some filler) might work / be safe.
