Shower – What type of washcloth bar should I put inside a fiberglass shower

bathroombathtubshower

I have a fiberglass bath and shower. I would really like to mount a bar inside it on the back wall for hanging washcloths up to dry.

I've tried the suction cup mounted ones with moderate success. They stick for a few weeks at a time but after that they fall down and I have to go in and stick them back up.

If I bought a bar with screws, I'm not sure how I would screw it into the fiberglass. Is that even possible?

Are there other mounting options that I have overlooked?

Glue on towel bars are getting pretty common. The link I have is just an example. Never used it. Basically you just need a bar with a flat backing. You can use glue or a more powerful adhesive to keep it down (Loctite makes a construction adhesive for fiberglass).

I would google "glue on towel bar" to see choices. There is tons of stuff.

As for installation, this ranges all over the place. Some come with their own install pads - where you glue down the pad and slide the backing over the pad.

Just know that the stronger you glue it down then less chance your shower enclosure will be able to be "cleaned". So if you go with a construction adhesive (99%) secure then please make sure it is where you want it for the long haul.
