This was a job well performed by your DIY DUO and without even getting a sore thumb or whatever may have you! Nice job and well done! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Craig - it was all due to my carelessness, but also what I dropped shouldn't have broken the dish in the first place if the bathroom wasn't so cheaply done. Anyway, we were pleasantly surprised at how well it went - our fixes typically don't go that smoothly - ha ha! For example, we recorded fixing a hole in our basement wall - then went on vacation before we had a chance to sparkle, only to find more of the wall compromised (which wasn't the case before we left) when we got back. So we are debating whether we post just fixing the hole, and then a follow up on spackling in a few months - when we can tear down more of the wall and get to the root cause. Thoughts?
Thank you for the tips! Just finished replacing our soap dish- broken a couple of years ago from a shaving gel can falling on it. Your info on supplies helped a lot! My dish had a lot attaching it, so I used all of the same except also used an oscillating multi-tool to help with the initial cut around the dish, then used a pry bar to pry off the wall, and the multi-tool again for removal of leftovers on the wall. The multi-tool created more dust and noise than I wanted, but wearing glasses, a dust mask, and ear muffs helped. Now it is in the 24-48 hour curing period. Excited to remove the tape and do the final touch ups soon. Thanks again! 😊
Thanks so much for letting us know and great job! I avoided the multi-tool/dremel because of the dust - before we started the channel I re-grouted the bathroom tiles and what a full mess of (unavoidable) dust that was!
Thanks John - it went surprisingly well... I waited a long time to do it because I had those same concerns. My best advice is to take your time, go super slow, gentle and deliberate. I think using the hand held grout saw was the way to go. If I used the dremel, it would have gone faster but adds more risk to damaging the tiles or the wall. Be very careful pulling the soap dish off the wall - luckily whoever did the job in the first place was cheap with the grout, so it pulled out really easy for me with no damage to the sheetrock - the wrong sheetrock, I might add, so that may have had something to do with it too. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
This is a reply for Katty Koo, whose question reached us even though we don't see it posted here. The question was whether buying a replacement that is 4x4" could work in a larger 5 3/4x4" space by just filling in with additional adhesive & grout. Our opinion is no - we would suggest stopping at your local Home Depot or tile store to purchase a tile that fills in that space (tiles come in all sizes these days, and you can cut a tile to size if you absolutely had to). Once you make the right sized space for a replacement soap dish with a 4x4" backing, then buy and retrofit it in. We were happy with the loctite product we used in this video. So far so good...
This was the dish we bought and installed: www.amazon.com/Beige-Almond-Ceramic-Holder-Classic/dp/B083TLTRRJ/ref=sr_1_8?crid=QJHOZI9J7UBK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BhJiasEfOEj173UeYuXB0fNizHqKcQVTLxwxZK_HExbX-4MzfumjltMqsv24OFVZdyIPofXcLxZm5yG1ba3QLfyRydJ4eEHejYXB6gvyVgDr7v-xgn_iFjHJ5BYRtuWznPJ9tO-QwmjsdmIY0fEw-sofubgWfV2LyQO2LjepkmXjYJw5kgY7KSve32wVimIYBqyy-FxhRstYYsuVvyUUUfkIaO5J794jzTwroPY-Uidx_R9MK9ANRyNw1_H89P07Xcmun-MlETMHd_tzRwJTDsXxEQktYtKMsA8JKNUVAbY.JmHrBAMNh-rhnr12KxuxmOEVu4qnsQoGZkiUPONwYks&dib_tag=se&keywords=ceramic+soap+dish+for+shower+wall&qid=1721440115&sprefix=ceramic+so%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-8
So far it is holding fine - I wouldn't recommend putting a lot of weight on that handle - it should NOT be used as a grab bar... and if you need a grab bar, it's essential that it's installed properly.
Wood? In your bathroom shower? We have never seen that before, and would not recommend using a wood soap dish because eventually the wood will rot. Marine varnish is not what it used to be... we highly recommend sticking with ceramic. However, on the question about glue/adhesive, read the product itself - it will describe all the surfaces it can adhere to.
Thanks for your comment - if you have another way to remove the broken dish and replace with a new one of nearly the same size, you are welcome to share here. I will say, our replacement is still looking great in our bathroom...
@@Videspro thank you - we really appreciate you taking the time to let us know this video was helpful - being helpful is all we're trying to do with our channel.
Dude, your comment was not constructive and you come across as a real dick! I’ve had professionals do crappy work that I have had to do over. Kudos to the Duo for making this easier for those of us who want to do it ourselves.

Looks good and I like that you showed us your tools you used. Thank you! I am ready to remove mine for a niche..😊
Great, glad this helped, please let us know how it goes for you!

Well done. You made it look so easy. I'm going to give this a shot. Hope mine turns out as well as yours. Thanks for the video.

We appreciate you leaving this comment - please let us know how your project goes!
Thanks so much for the video even handyman come and watch it, they just to arrogant to admit it, thanks 🙏
How do I determine my replacement? Mine looks just like yours, could you share the amazon link?
This was the dish we bought and installed: www.amazon.com/Beige-Almond-Ceramic-Holder-Classic/dp/B083TLTRRJ/ref=sr_1_8?crid=QJHOZI9J7UBK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BhJiasEfOEj173UeYuXB0fNizHqKcQVTLxwxZK_HExbX-4MzfumjltMqsv24OFVZdyIPofXcLxZm5yG1ba3QLfyRydJ4eEHejYXB6gvyVgDr7v-xgn_iFjHJ5BYRtuWznPJ9tO-QwmjsdmIY0fEw-sofubgWfV2LyQO2LjepkmXjYJw5kgY7KSve32wVimIYBqyy-FxhRstYYsuVvyUUUfkIaO5J794jzTwroPY-Uidx_R9MK9ANRyNw1_H89P07Xcmun-MlETMHd_tzRwJTDsXxEQktYtKMsA8JKNUVAbY.JmHrBAMNh-rhnr12KxuxmOEVu4qnsQoGZkiUPONwYks&dib_tag=se&keywords=ceramic+soap+dish+for+shower+wall&qid=1721440115&sprefix=ceramic+so%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-8
How long did it take to set?
We let it set overnight, just to be safe.
Did it reallly hold on evevn when you apply Han pressure when gettin soap
So far it is holding fine - I wouldn't recommend putting a lot of weight on that handle - it should NOT be used as a grab bar... and if you need a grab bar, it's essential that it's installed properly.
Hello if it was wood ..what kind of glue to use ?
Wood? In your bathroom shower? We have never seen that before, and would not recommend using a wood soap dish because eventually the wood will rot.

@diyduo_getyourfix no the place where the dish is placed on is wood on the shower wall
@@ineshianewton7740 Are you saying your wall is wood lathe - not cement board or green board?
@@diyduo_getyourfix right I see wood
@@ineshianewton7740 Wood as in plywood or a 2x4 ? How old is your house?
very poor work
