How to stick (not drill) shower-gel dispenser to tiles......

[sylvev]

Hi

I want to fix my shower-gel/shampoo/conditioner dispenser to the shower wall. It is tiled in mosaic tiles. So far, I've tried sticky pads (lasted 30 seconds) and a large glue pump with gun (lasted 2 minutes). Is there anything I can use rather than having to drill?
Thanks for your time.

If you use a gap-filling adhesive like NoMoreMails you have to prop it in place until it sets.

If both surfaces are non-absorbent it is not warranted to work, but it may do if you prop it for a day or more and it dries out round the edges.

You may have more luck with a Contact Adhesive like Evo-Stick

a combination of silicone and no more nails, and tape it with strong adhesive tape for a day to harden without getting it wet. worked on a big mirror I put up

I used silcone sealant, its not moved in 3 years. Use plenty masking tape to hold whilst curing. I also did this in previous house. Still there as far as I know.

Thank you for your ideas. I'll try again with the glue gun and use tape this time, is it worth sandpapering the tiles first as they are smooth and shiny, or will this make no difference?

i would just go for very clean if you sand or score and it dosn't work or you remove at a later date you stuck with the "abrasion"
