Fixing a shower caddy, Love&Soap explains everything!

In the shower or bathtub, above the sink, next to your mirror, installing a shower caddy is practical for storing accessories and optimizing the bathroom. Choosing it to match your decor is a real pleasure.

Everyone is looking for the best way to fix their shower caddy. Some prefer wall mounting with dowels and screws for more safety and peace of mind. Others will prefer a no-drill installation for fear of cracking their tiles and having water infiltration.

A wide choice of fixings is available to you:
Suction cup, hook, adhesive, screw, telescopic bar, place on the ground...

Fixing your shower servant using dowels and screws.

When the time comes to install the tiles, we look suspiciously at the tiles that we have to drill.

However, the skills required to fix an organizer are minimal: Know how to take the measurements of your shelf, level your baskets and use a drill. Depending on the nature of your walls, you also need to know how to choose your dowels and screws for a quality wall mount. Choose them in stainless steel to avoid rust and corrosion. It is also necessary to use a tube of silicone.

This is the only knowledge you need to set up your beautiful bathroom cabinet.

We're not all DIYers, which is why Love&Soap gives you the steps to follow.

Tools needed:

• One meter
• A pencil
• A spirit level
• A screwdriver
• A drill with the right bit
• A tube of silicone.

Determine the location of your bathroom accessory and mark it. Assemble your storage baskets if necessary and place them in the desired location, against the wall.

Place a spirit level on your shower caddy, to ensure that the whole thing is horizontal, mark the holes to be drilled on the wall using a pencil (if your support is tiled, try if possible to mark the holes in the joints).

Depending on the wall materials, use the appropriate dowel and drill the holes on your marks. (If you are drilling tiles, do not use the percussion mode).

Before inserting the dowels, given that the room in question is a bathroom, therefore a space sensitive to humidity, fill the holes with silicone.

Then place the dowels and wipe off the excess with a damp sponge or cloth. Also fill the dowels, once they are in place, with silicone before putting in the screws.

All you have to do now is set up your beautiful shower servant. Check the horizontality with a spirit level. Let it dry for a few hours before you can enjoy it fully and lastingly.

After the shower bar, can you count on it?

There's nothing complicated about installing your shower caddy on your bar!

You just need to disassemble the shower bar part (the chrome tube) and slide the soap dish or the caddy onto it. These bathroom accessories include a ring to tighten so that they do not slip when you have chosen the installation height. Of course, do not forget to reintegrate the shower bar (chrome tube) into its upper and lower supports.

Assembling your shower servant is simple and aesthetic!

Please note that everything depends on your shower installation... and of course the diameter of your shower tube. If your shower does not have a tube (for example, if your shower head is directly attached to the wall, or if your shower is a "SPA" type), we regret to inform you that you will not be able to install it.

Otherwise, we'll show you in pictures!
