Morning all. Gripping subject 😁. I have a decent sized shower enclosure - glass on two sides and tiled the other two. There are several bottles of stuff all on the floor of the shower because there’s nowhere to put them. I think anything that hung over the glass would be too heavy so wondered if anyone had any recommendations or suggestions? I was thinking a tallish slim caddy? You can’t hang a small shower tidy with a hook owing to the shape of the shower itself. It would need to be plastic I guess, as I don’t want it to corrode. Help!

I have the Vado chrome corner baskets, a small one and a larger one. They’re not cheap, need to be screwed in properly but after 9 years they’re still immaculate as they don’t rust at all. I also have nice brown pump top bottles that I decant my shampoo, conditioner and body wash into as I want it to look nice 😂

Check out Simplehuman freestanding shower caddies. Not cheap, but I've had mine in a walk in shower for seven years now and no corrosion.

There are several bottles of stuff all on the floor of the shower because there’s nowhere to put them.

Any chance all of these things could live elsewhere and you only take what you want for that day into the shower (and then out again, and put it back)?

It's what I do, I don't like piles of bottles around or shower caddies.

I have a longish kitchen wide over-door caddy on a round shower curve
"Stuff" gets decanted into smaller push nozzle bottles

I bought these for this specific purpose.

We have a wall mounted, stainless steel, triple dispenser, with shampoo, shower gel, conditioner. Top up as needed and no bottles and we use considerably less product. Bought from a site that supplies gyms.

@YYURYYUCICYYUR4ME never thought of doing this at home. What a great idea

Simple Human freestanding shower unit here. It is corroding very slowly but it's been about 15 years since we bought it.

We have these stick on ones and use one of the larger ones in the shower. as long as you follow the instructions for the sticky pad it's as good as something screwed in. Ours has been in the shower for 2 years and has never moved and is still in perfect condition.

It's currently holding two of the large bottles of tresemme, a bar of soap, a razor, a foot file and a bottle of miracle water for hair.

I'd wall mount a caddy, although that tension pole Simple Human one looks good.

We brought ours 25 years ago (ex bathroom showroom for £15, no idea what make but it is bombproof and I've just had it put back up in my refitted ensuite after giving it a good clean up).

It is a variation on one like this. www.qbicwashrooms.co.uk/eclipse-triple-shower-dispenser-silver.html?campaignid=8861228868&adgroupid=89996993940&keyword=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=8861228868&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkYn55aeyjwMV6qVQBh14hQn7EAQYByABEgJw1_D_BwE.

Another vote for the Simplehuman tension caddy:

Simplehuman tension caddy

I’ve had mine for 15 years, and have just a couple of rust spots on one of the baskets which barely show. You can also get spares so that baskets can be replaced, or added to provide more storage. It’s never slipped, yet is easily removable. Not cheap, but well worth the money for longevity.

Wow! Thanks everyone! @YYURYYUCICYYUR4ME this would be fabulous but I really don’t want to drill into the tiles. Thank you @Anotherselfemployedcleaner @Mangetouts @persianfairyfloss i think this will be what I try. Really appreciate everyone taking the time to reply to my very dull question😁
