Fitting thermostatic bar shower onto tiles

[dh86]

Hello,

I have recently had my bathroom plumbed and tiled. The pipes for the shower I have bought (Aqualisa Midas 200) are ready to be fixed; however, it appears there is a slight problem: as my walls are plasterboard and no bracket has been fitted on behind the tiles, it seems there is little support for the thermostatic bar.

Does anyone know of any support that I can use that doesn't require my taking the tiles off?!

Difficult to tell from your description but these may help http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shower-Ba...l-Surface-Bath-Bracket-Fittings-/260853394338

use a back plate as suggested above using spring loaded fixings.

Thanks for your responses.

I have bought this: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Taps+Showers/Shower+Valves/Shower+Wall+Plate/d240/sd3000/p27249

I don't know whether this is suitable for supporting the thermostatic bar on tiles?

Sorry, I am a bit of a rookie with plumbing. Would this work with spring-loaded fixings?

Yep, should be ok.
