No more nails or Gorilla Glue?

[SonicHedgeHog]

I need to attach a soap and shampoo dispenser to our tiled bathroom wall. The tiles are very difficult to drill even with a diamond drill and it isn't possible to dill the grout lines because they are in the wrong place. The adhesive pads supplied with the dispenser, unsurprisingly, didn't work so I'm looking at glue.

The dispenser is about 2kg when full and gets put under load when it's used.

Will either No More Nails or Gorilla Glue be up to the job or am I going to have to risk cracking tiles in order to secure it properly?

I could buy some more super adhesive tape and do silicon as well. That would hold it in place while the silicon dried and provide extra adhesion.

Tiger seal looks seriously heavy duty. I suppose if I did new adhesive pads, used silicon as adhesive and then silicones around the bracket that would provide more stick and stop the water running down the wall onto the pads.

I agree about the drilling comments. However, our tiler went through double his usual number of drill bits fitting our bathroom and had to replace a tile which cracked when drilling to fit the shower screen. It just seems our tiles are unusually hard. Given the tile I'll be drilling is right next to the shower I'd prefer not to risk drilling it unless I have run out of options. I'll get some quality tape and silicone and see how that goes first. Appreciate the advice though.

Ours is simple human, but the pads alone weren't enough. It is asking a lot given they're holding 2kg on a wall that gets wet and the dispenser gets pumped several times a day.

I bought some 3m command pads for bathrooms and some Unibond all weather 100% adhesive and sealant. Fingers crossed.

I actually bought some unibond anti mouldy sealant as well. I'm going to try that first and take the 100% stuff back if it works. This sealant should be easier to clean off and replace in the future as earlier posters have advised.

Don't even go there....

Thanks guys, I went with the 3M bathroom tape and Unibond sealant. I also ran a small amount of sealant around the mount to stop water running down the back and getting to the sticky pads. If it falls off the wall you'll probably hear it if you're in Surrey. When it hits the bath it sounds like the roof has fallen in.
