Fix Fish To Bathroom Tiles!!!

su3

I wonder if any of you knowledgable people might be able to help me. I bought two hand painted 1960's wall plaques of fish which I would very much love to attach to my bathroom tiles.

They are fish shaped, ceramic and the snag is they are slightly concave and have no tags or other means of fixing to the wall. I am wondering if it would be possible to build up a piece at the back to lie flush with the wall and use something like no nails to fix them or if anyone has any better ideas. Hope this description makes sense, I am very much a DIY novice so do need something simple please.

Thanks in anticipation, Sue

Help!!! does no-one have any ideas or advice? I really do want to try and fix these fish to the tiles and am worried that I might break them if I don't use an appropriate method.

I am sure someone who reads this will have some advice even if it is to say that my idea is not suitable.

Please don't let me down I have been telling all my friends what a wonderful site this is where you can get advice about almost anything under the sun.

Clear silicon would work ive seen plumbers stick sinks to wall with it

could probably do it with grout, use the gout to build up the back then stick it to a join in the tiles so it at least has something rough to stick to. then use a nail under it to pervent it slideing down the wall till it sets, bingo should do fine, if i can tile over an entire wall i recon the odd (and in my opinion it would look very odd) fish should be fine.

Can't you Hook Them;)

Silicone a small bracket( small picture hook etc)the rear of them, wait 24hrs to set, then either hook them on a nail or screw.

If you have white grout on the tiles then I would use white silicon (about £1.50 per tube) to fix in place but use selotape or similar to hold in postion till silicon has set (Overnight will be fine) and clean off excess silicon before it sets. Use a wet finger to go round the fish for a smooth finish.
