Re: replace soap dish on shower rail

Hi @Canary,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Is it possible to get some more photos?

The one you've uploaded is quite small and I can't make out the details.

It looks like the rail might slip up and out of the mount you've taken a photo of. Is there another mount at the top that might be openable in the same way?

Once you've uploaded some additional photos, I will be happy to help further.

both the top and bottom rail have these barriers that prevent me sliding the pole up or down

Hi @Canary,

 

Is the shower rail a consistent thickness all the way along?

It may telescope somewhere along the rail. There might be a point that if you rotate you can shorten the rail.

A wider photo showing more of the rail might also help if you have one.

Let me know how you go.

Thank you, I've persevered and got the soap dish on.   The shower rail doesn't appear to be able to come off.   Ruth
