I have just had a shower fitted. Have any gransnetters any advice pn what shower storage I can get for gels, showers etc please?
I have looked up reviews on all kinds and cannot find anything. I don't want any holes drilled in my nice new tiles. Even the most expensive suction thingies have reviews saying that they come off after a while. and even those that say the chrome is rustproof say they are not, according to reviews.
So it seems I am left with plastic free-standing things. I think they keep disassembling themselves! Any advice, please?

I haven't found anything satisfactory that doesn't require drilling into the tiles. In our previous bathroom we had a pole which extended from the corner of the bath to the ceiling onto which were attached little shelves for shower gel and soap. I think you can get them for walk in showers. My son has a nice neat corner cabinet with a door that rolls away into the body of the cabinet. It's the best thing I've seen, but not only do they have to be drilled, they are very expensive. If you find anything that works, suey let me know!

You can get shower caddies that hang from hooks over the top edge of the shower. John Lewis has them, but there are probably others.

Argos and Amazon have hook-over shower caddies too.

Amazon has an amazing selection at different prices. Not all are chrome or brass- one or two of the white models look easier to clean. I am also looking for something for my shower- I store items on the small shelf going around the shower but it is not ideal for me.

I am thinking that something which hooks over the shower may be preferable because it could easily be taken down to clean.
