Chrome stick on bathroom hooks

lagi
Posts: 590 Forumite
I have bought myself a pack of 3 chrome stick on hooks.
They are nice and heavy but as bathroom is newly tiled a bit worried about sticking them with their pads and hanging a wet towel on them, only to come home and find a big chip in the tiles.
Is there anything i could use to make them stronger or are they pretty good nowadays? (must admit they are a foreign make). Or should i put them elsewhere?

I've found anything I've tried to stick onto tiles like that comes off.
It's safer to find stuff you need to drill on. Drilling into tiles is not hard if:
1. You know what is behind them i.e. no pipes
2. Use a special tile drill bit which is easy to get from the likes of Toolstation, Screwfix or Wickes.I'm not cynical I'm realistic

Put them elsewhere, as olly300 says above they are bound to fall off!0

Will try and look for some drillable robe hooks then, save these for tea towels.0

Morning,
Have a Google for 'Never Drill Again’ fittings. They are not the cheapest BUT they work. I am hugely happy with the kit we purchased.
Drilling tiles (most of the time) is a no brainer but if you crack one in the process, it's a pain and if you haven't a spare tile, it's a disaster.
Good luck.
