Does no-one drill/screw mount their shower caddies anymore?

Fed up of my mouldy rusty shower caddy so I started looking for a rust resistant (stainless steel or aluminium are good for this I believe) replacement. I've looked on Amazon, Argos, B&Q, Homebase.....seems like no-one wants to get the drill out anymore? Most use suction or adhesive methods.

Don't get me wrong - I have no inclination to use a drill either and would have to get someone to do it for me. But do the suction/adhesive ones actually work??

I have a shower gem and it’s brilliant - from memory it uses some kind of special glue for the hooks and you can easily take it off if it needs to be cleaned.

Is have the same one as @MrOllivander too, been up for ages 😊 I have a couple of tiles above the sink as well so have a small one on there for the toothbrushes etc

We had a tall Simplehuman one that was effectively a big tension rod fitted floor to ceiling. You could take sections out so it would work for a bath too. It was big and it was expensive (for a show caddy!) but it was brilliant. Absolutely rock solid.

I also have the same one as MrOllivander and it has been up at least a year, possibly more with no issues. And I have at least 4 bottles on each shelf (including one of those massive Tresemme conditioner bottles.

Much easier to keep clean too!
