Install a Grab Bar to a Tile Shower

- Installing a grab bar in a tile shower can be a intimidating. This video shows how it’s done by an expert contractor. Ultimately, the plastic anchors provided by the company were used with a very good fixation to the tile. Back up of toggle bolts were available just in case fixation was inadequate. However, the plastic anchors did the job, and no toggle bolts, which require larger holes, were needed in the tile were needed. Hope this is helpful.

Very helpful video. I need to hire someone to do my install. What type of contractor would I hire do this type of work correctly (handyman? plumber? carpenter?). Thank you.
How did you do the layout marks? I always just put it up and then drop the centers with a pencil, but this looks much more accurate. I always end up not quite getting it plumb.
Very helpful, did you go into a stud behind the wall?...Do I need to locate the stud to install a grab or can us anchors of some sort?
CORRECTION...Can I use anchors of some sort?
There were no studs at the level we wanted to hang the bar.s The anchors provided were sufficient, and we decided not to use mollies. We did have a Molly bolts available if we weren’t satisfied with the security of the grab bars. My contractor was satisfied and the grab bars are working fine.
What about water intrusion?
I can’t answer that question. As far as I can tell, there’s been no water incursion in the last two years. The gentleman who did the installation is and experienced contractor. I was watching very closely and the screws were very tight and the feet of the grab bar had a snug escutcheons so I doubt that there’s any significant water leakage. 🙏🏻 for commenting.
