Alwayslearning22 Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago I’ve a brand new house and the builder put the shower head holder low on the wall and it’s become loose. I’m gonna go remove it How can I fill the hole on the tile? An epoxy filler ? It’s a 6mm hole and I need it to be a long lasting fix. Thanks
JohnMo Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Are you re using the hole to mount the shower head there again, or moving shower head and want to seal the old hole?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. yes I’m moving the shower head higher up the wall and want to seal the old hole. thanks
saveasteading Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago What material is the wall? If you could refix it in the same place solidly would you prefer that?

Every time I've tried to remove a tile from plasterboard, I ended up replacing the plasterboard as well. Almost impossible to remove cleanly.

Just a stud wall with plasterboard It’s just a handset holder they put it right above the taps. If I could refix it and seal it will silicone I’ll just leave it there and install a new riser bar
saveasteading Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Tiled? Can we see a picture? It can probably be fixed in the same spot with the right fixings.
