This is just a pair of very strong magnets. If there are nails or screws in the studs it will be attracted to them. If the plaster is too thick it will be a weak or NO attraction. What is on the other side of the wall doesn't matter at all. Magnets are not attracted to tile of any kind, unless it is made of iron or steel (Steel has some Iron in it) . Magnets are also not attracted to Aluminum or Stainless Steel ( Because Stainless Steel has very little Iron in it and Aluminum is an Element on its own that magnets are not attracted to.) So, you are not locating studs, you are locating nails, screws, bolts, anything steel/Iron. These are usually attached to Studs.. Good Luck and Good Day! Larry

I had the same issue. Its on the small side so it looks fine just mounted to the wall. This is appropriate only for a very small bathroom or half bath, otherwise I would have purchased something larger and mounted it into the wall.

We have sheet rock. I would go with responses from customers who have plaster for the best advice.

Hi, As long as the surface is flat and clean there should be no problem. If the surface is textured or uneven it will not stick. Bathroom tile works fine as long as the suction cup has a good firm grip. One trick is to get a smooth plastic or hard coated small white cutting board and connect it to the wall you use on the floor or bed as well.Hope this helps. Lee

I used two screws into my plaster wall, but I'm pretty sure I could have used nails. As long as you don't plan on physically hanging from it, you'll be good.

I tried it on finished bathroom woodwork and it did not seem to work. It did not seem to affect the finish of the woodwork though. I suggest experimenting more on finished woodwork.

If the plastered walls are pretty smooth, I don't think it will be a problem. If they are textured, you many run into issues with it sticking. This product isn't super sticky. I would recommend ordering a small amount to see if it works first. The product came faster than expected.

We've used on on a ceramic tile shower, a cultured marble wall, and now in our RV which is some type of fiberglass shower stall. The back-to-back glue works incredible well, we actually had to work hard to get it off the cultured marble wall, then used Bar Keep to clean off the residue.

The tiles in our shower were smaller than the suction cups, so it couldn't hold to the wall at all. I suggest you check that out if you have a tiled shower.

I used it on a kitchen island and it looks great! I was thinking of doing my small 3/4 bath using it as a wainscoting for the bottom third of the wall and then trimming it off with a piece of molding. It is realistic looking but if your wall has an orange peel texture, some of that does show through. You could always sand down the wall if you don't want the texture to show but by the time you go to all that trouble, you could've just used real bead board.

Yes, that is what I have. It was very slippery even with rubber mats as they would not stay in place. We ordered enough of the product to cover every tile, and I a no longer afraid to use this shower. Product a little expensive but cheaper than ripping out tiles and replacing. Hope this helps you make a decision.

I have ours on a tiled shower wall and it is fine. However, our tiles are 3 inch square tiles. If your tiles are smaller, I'm not sure how that will work. Good luck!

Doesn't appear adhesive would damage tile. I used it on a semi-gloss painted wall and the weight of the soap pulled the dispenser, paint and all off the wall. Ended up having to make holes in the wall and screw it in, covered the damage to wall, too. Tile seems like a good surface for adherence.

I don't think that would be the best idea. It would make more work for a better repair, having to scrape the very tacky glue. However. it may work for an emergency repair. Otherwise, I would try to match the materials in the shower. Most likely it is a fiberglass resin of sorts. I hope this helps.

Sorry, but, I returned it. I thought the construction was too weak to install in an shower where it might be used as an emergency hand rail.

We have a tile shower and purchased this as a replacement for a similar one we had. The plumbing was already there so we just had to remove the old one and attach this. I would guess the surface material of your shower isn't as critical as whether or not the plumbing matches up. If this is a new installation, you'd have to ask whoever is installing your shower but I don't see why not.

Mines in my shower. But it's the guest bath, not an everyday use thing, but I would think so- it that perminent- sticker like adhesive, not the stick & move kind! Good solid size too- online stuff tends to be very small!
