Good to Know
> 🔧 **Plasterboard walls?** These need special toggle bolts or cavity fixings. Standard wall plugs just pull straight out when the curtain's pulled. I carry the right fixings. **Curved vs straight rails.** Curved rails cost a bit more but give you much more shower space. Worth considering if you're replacing anyway. **Shower over bath?** These need longer rails than standard showers. Make sure replacement rail is correct length for your bath. **Cheap vs decent rails.** Budget shower rails from supermarkets often bend or break within a year. Spending £20-40 on a decent rail saves refitting it repeatedly.
Frequently Asked Questions about Shower curtain rail repair in Dawlish
Why does my shower curtain rail keep falling down?
Usually inadequate wall fixings - either wrong plugs for the wall type, or the wall's too weak (plasterboard or old plaster). Sometimes the brackets just work loose over time from pulling the curtain. I'll refix it properly so it stays up.
Can you fix a rail that's sagging in the middle?
Yes - either add a central support bracket, or replace with a stronger rail if the current one's bent. Cheap rails often sag because they're too flimsy for the span. Sometimes just needs tightening at the ends.
Will you damage my tiles when repairing it?
I'll try to use existing holes if possible. If new holes are needed, I drill carefully to avoid cracking tiles. Sometimes the old holes have pulled out of crumbling plaster - I can fill those and drill fresh holes nearby.
How do you stop it pulling out of the wall again?
Better fixings - heavier duty wall plugs, longer screws, or toggle bolts if it's plasterboard. The problem's usually the original installation was done cheaply with inadequate plugs. Fixed properly, it'll stay up.
Can you replace the whole rail if it's broken?
Absolutely - if the rail itself is damaged or bent beyond repair, I can source and fit a new one. Sometimes that makes more sense than trying to fix a cheap broken rail.
