Hanging a shelf without drilling, towel hooks without drilling, and other bathroom accessories without drilling—it doesn't have to be a problem.

Reasons not to drill into tiles or bathroom walls

  • No risk of cracking tiles or leakage
  • Ideal for rental properties or temporary solutions
  • Easy to remove without damage
  • Quick and clean to install

What mounting methods are there?

1. Stick with special glue

Many bathroom accessories today are equipped with an adhesive-based mounting system. These adhesives are moisture-resistant and super strong.

Recommended brands:

tesa® Power.Kit

  • Waterproof bonding technology
  • Suitable for wall brackets, soap dishes, hooks, etc.
  • Supports up to 6 kg per accessory
  • Can be removed later without damage

TigerFix®

  • Adhesive solution from the Tiger brand
  • Fits many Tiger accessories
  • Strong enough for shelves and toilet roll holders

2. Self-adhesive accessories

Some accessories come with a self-adhesive strip (3M tape or similar). Ideal for lighter accessories like towel hooks, toothbrush holders, shower racks , or soap holders.

NB:

  • Walls must be free of grease, dry and smooth
  • The disadvantage is that adhesive strips adhere less well over time and can come loose.
  • Press firmly and allow to harden for 24 hours before use.

3. Suction cup systems

For lightweight accessories such as shower baskets or hooks, a suction cup with vacuum adhesion is a quick solution.

Pros:

  • Super easy to install
  • No gluing or drying time required
  • Easy to move

Less suitable for:

  • Textured walls or matte tiles
  • Heavier accessories (may come loose over time)
