Fixing Shower Rail Onto The Wall

Associate

Hi,

I bought a Shower Rail to hold a shower head and was hoping to use the existing drilled holes I have in the wall to fit the shower rail into......unfortunately the way the holes are in the shower rail brackets (2 vertically aligned on each) that may not be possible and I don't think I've got the equipment for drilling extra holes into a tiled wall.

I was wondering though, if I could make a hole in each of the plastic brackets, I may be able to fit them into the existing holes I have in the wall, with one screw per bracket.

As the brackets have 2 holes each and should be fixed onto the wall with 2 screws, if I was to drill a hole in them in the middle and fixed them onto the wall with 1 screw per bracket, do you think I'll be able to get away with it or will the whole shower rail come off once it feels some weight?

By the way this is the shower rail I have (without the shower):

Quick answer is , No NO No !!

Ask how to do the job correctly

But If , you cant face drilling the wall
And I hate myself for saying this :rotfl:
Baton on wall using existing holes
Rail on to wooden baton

But really the cost of a correct tile drill bit , bit of masking tape
Do It the correct way.

Isn't the old shower rail suitable?
