Where to get stainless steel shower caddy (screw on)

    I got ones before that have become rusty. They must have been chrome instead of stainless steel.

    I am hoping to get a screw on one as I already have holes drilled in the tiles from the previous ones. I also don't trust that the suction ones will stay up if a kid pulls at it.

    I have tried Homestore and More but they just have the suction ones.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks

    I got one in IKEA that hasn't rusted yet! Previous ones I had from elsewhere barely lasted 6 months before rusting. The one I have has removable plastic insert shelves. Link

    The ones I bought previously were from Lidl. I thought they would be well made and obviously not going to rust in the wet environment of a shower.

    They were only about €15 each. One corner one and one for a straight wall. I think they were chrome.

    I presume when something is advertised as stainless steel it won't rust.

    I see stainless steel ones on Amazon but they are crazy money - about €60.

    Still stuck on this.

    As I have holes drilled in the tiles I want a caddy that can fit the same width. Anything out there that can be adjusted for different widths.

    Not interested in the suction ones as they will just drop off.

    I wonder if I could drill a hole in the suction caps and screw them on.

    The rusty caddy in the shower is pissing me off.


    Thanks

    I got one in B&Q (Limerick) a few weeks ago, it was a corner one tho,so a screw in the two walls at right angle to each other,holes were slightly different position on new one so had to drill two new holes anyway..... Just filled old holes with grout! €18 btw.

    That ruins the look of the tile though. I can't understand why a product with adjustable screw mounts isn't on the market. So many cheap ones out there but they'll all rust within a few months.

    Edit - going by the reviews on b&q site the Cooke and Lewis caddies rust after a few months.
