Shower Soap Dish

I had this happen when I was finishing a new shower stall. The plumber dropped something and put a hole in a soap dish. He didn't even leave a note but left it for me to discover, so I wasn't a happy customer.

I was able to replace the dish by carefully chipping out the old one, but it was not a good thing. I was able to get an exact replacement because it had been recently done. You might want to stockpile a spare dish if you are retiling a shower in case this happens in your future. I am.

Memo to all: Might want to wrap your tiled-in soap dishes with foam before beginning repairs that might result in accidentally dropping something heavy on them! They are very thin and not as sturdy as tile.

Thanks for the info. My soapdish fell off the ceramic tile. The tile had been abraded but it still didn't stick after a 3 year use.
