Hi
I need to fix a shower riser kit (the sliding rail thing the shower head fixes to) in my shower cubicle which has been freshly tiled.
the position I want it in is not infront of a joist so I cannot screw into anything solid. I have cavity (stud work) walls.
i'm trying to think if the best way to attach it to the wall.
I was thinking about just using no more nails to stick it in position - do you think this would work/be acceptable?
if not, can anyone tell me how to fix the rail to the wall? if I drill holes through the tiles, i'll go into a cavity and have nothing to crew into.
i'm at a loss.
also, when drilling holes into tiles to mount stuff like this, doesn't it pose any problems with leaking? is there a way to 'seal' the hole up after you've mounted the rail?
thanks
