How to Replace a Shower Shelf on a Tiled Wall

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

I love your quality of work on your honey-do list

[@jonadam5392]

Are the anchors in the tile or past the tile and into the wall board?

[@timwalters5355]

Would it not be better to put grout in the old holes, even if the colour doesn’t match? I say this because I am thinking that its better to align the holes on the grout lines as then they will be easier to disguise later if the shelf is removed or changed..

[@paulclark8731]

I know this is old but did you silicone over the new holes too before attaching the shelf?

[@Friday0089-c7p]

Not sure if your question ever got answered, but yes silicone in the new holes as well. This will ensure that they will not get water behind them.

@@Friday0089-c7p what silicone is best for this application?

Hi Andy, question for you. Were these walls plasterboard behind the tiles? Question about possibility of a rawl plug red/brown through tile. Would the depth of the tile and plasterboard be enough for a rawl plug like that to sit tight and secure inside? Be grateful for your insight

[@GosforthHandyman]

Hi - can't remember for this one but as you've gone about 20mm of tile, adhesive and plasterboard that's generally plenty for a little red plug with a lightweight shelf like this where almost all the force is shear anyway. 👍

[@timwalters5355]

He used two plugs in each hole, so should be plenty deep..

My 2 fasteners are different they pinch the glass with a screw (wish it was Allen) and i can't undo them (flat screw driver slot and underneath the triangular glass :( )
