Good day!My wife and I recently bought a new home and the shower in the master bath is a relatively tight stall shower. In order to fit a human body in there and still have access to all of the necessary items needed in a shower we wanted to install corner-shaped bins into one of the corners of the shower but without drilling holes in the tile. Suction cups to the rescue!However we discovered that our tile is not smooth enough to hold a suction cup for more than a few minutes and our shelves were falling down. I considered glue double-sided tape and sticking smooth-surfaced items (ie cut glass or plastic) to the walls so the suction cups would hold. But in the end. I hit on a simple solution that's been holding strong now for over a month. Packing Tape.
I had some tile area like you say but instead of using tape. I just squirted some hair gel into the suction cup. Worked great!
Well as I said it's been a month. One of my pet peeves is mildew in the shower and there's none noticeable even now. As long as you get a good seal with the tape by rubbing the tape into the tile with your fingernail you should be OK. Packing tape isn't very breathable so the moisture shouldn't seep through or under the tape. Heat is another issue.. if you have a bathroom like a sauna when you shower this may not be the BEST option but it should hold up. Our bathroom is large so the heat and steam dissipate well so the only moisture or heat come from whatever condenses on the tile. So far.. no problems. I invite others to let me know if this did not work for them and I'm happy to help work on other solutions!
