Installing a second shower head holder in your shower is surprisingly simple, especially when you choose a suction-based design that requires zero drilling. Whether you want better positioning for a handheld shower head or need dual height options for family members of different heights, a no drill shower head holder like the StoneStream Adjustable Suction Shower Head Holder offers the perfect solution. It mounts in seconds, adjusts easily, and won’t damage your bathroom walls.
Why Choose a Suction Shower Head Holder
The biggest advantage of a suction shower head holder is installation without any tools. Traditional holders require drilling into tile, which risks cracking expensive surfaces and creates permanent holes that can’t be moved. A suction-based design uses powerful vacuum technology to grip smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, tile, or acrylic with surprising strength.
The StoneStream Adjustable Suction Shower Head Holder takes this concept further with heavy-duty suction cup technology that holds securely even in steamy bathroom conditions. Since you’re not drilling, you can reposition it whenever needed—perfect for renters or anyone who wants flexibility without commitment.
The elegant chrome finish adds modern sophistication to your bathroom while matching most existing fixtures. British-engineered by StoneStream—a company trusted by over 500,000 customers globally since 2015—this handheld shower head holder combines style with practical engineering that actually works.
Step-by-Step Installation Process
Installing your second shower head holder takes less than five minutes with no technical skills required. Start by selecting your mounting location—any smooth, flat, non-porous surface works perfectly. Clean the surface thoroughly with rubbing alcohol or a mild cleaner to remove soap residue, oils, or any film that might reduce suction strength. Let it dry completely.
Press the suction cup firmly against the cleaned surface, ensuring no air bubbles remain underneath. The StoneStream holder features a locking mechanism that creates maximum vacuum seal—you’ll feel it lock into place when properly mounted. Once secured, insert your handheld shower head into the holder’s bracket and use the smooth-turning adjustment knob to angle it exactly where you need it.
The adjustable shower head holder design means you can customize the spray angle for different uses—higher for adults, lower for children, angled for seated showering, or positioned for rinsing the shower walls. This flexibility transforms your shower experience without any permanent modifications to your bathroom.
Choosing the Right Position for Your Second Holder
When adding a second shower head holder, think about how you’ll actually use it. Many people install one at standard height (around 72 inches) and add a second lower holder at 48-54 inches for children, pets, or seated showering. Others prefer dual holders at different angles on the same wall for versatile spray patterns.
Consider your shower’s layout carefully. If you have a corner shower, mounting holders on adjacent walls gives you incredible coverage. For standard tub-shower combinations, one holder at the showerhead end and another midway down the tub provides excellent flexibility for both showering and bathing tasks like rinsing hair or cleaning.
The beauty of a no drill shower head holder is that you can experiment with positions without consequence. If your first choice doesn’t work perfectly, simply detach the suction cup and move it. This trial-and-error approach helps you discover the ideal setup for your specific needs and shower configuration.
Maintaining Secure Suction Over Time
A quality suction shower head holder maintains its grip for months, but periodic maintenance ensures long-term reliability. Every few weeks, remove the holder and clean both the suction cup and the wall surface with rubbing alcohol. This removes any soap buildup or mineral deposits that gradually reduce suction strength.
The StoneStream holder’s water-resistant materials make this maintenance incredibly simple—just wipe down the chrome finish with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and keep it looking polished. If you notice the suction weakening, it’s usually because the surface needs cleaning rather than any problem with the holder itself.
For maximum longevity, avoid mounting on textured surfaces, unsealed grout, or porous materials like natural stone. The holder needs a completely smooth, sealed surface to create proper vacuum seal. Glass shower doors, glazed ceramic tile, and acrylic shower surrounds all work perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a suction shower head holder stay secure on textured tile?
Suction holders require completely smooth, non-porous surfaces to create proper vacuum seal. Textured tile, rough surfaces, or unsealed grout won’t provide adequate grip. The holder works best on glazed ceramic tile, glass shower doors, acrylic surrounds, or sealed porcelain. If your tile has texture, look for a smooth area like a glass door or consider the flat back wall of a fiberglass surround instead.
How much weight can a suction shower head holder support?
Quality suction holders like the StoneStream model support standard handheld shower heads weighing up to 2-3 pounds without issue. The heavy-duty suction cup creates strong vacuum seal on properly prepared surfaces. Avoid mounting oversized rainfall-style handhelds or extremely heavy fixtures. For best results, ensure the mounting surface is completely clean and dry before installation to maximize suction strength.
Can I install a suction holder in a fiberglass shower?
Absolutely. Fiberglass and acrylic shower surrounds are ideal surfaces for suction-based holders because they’re completely smooth and non-porous. Clean the surface thoroughly with rubbing alcohol to remove any soap residue or film, let it dry completely, then press the suction cup firmly into place. These surfaces often provide better suction than tile because there are no grout lines to interfere with the seal.
How do I remove and reposition a suction shower head holder?
To remove, gently lift one edge of the suction cup to break the vacuum seal—don’t pull straight out. Once the seal breaks, the holder releases easily. Clean both the suction cup and the new mounting location with rubbing alcohol, let everything dry, then press firmly into the new position. The ability to reposition without damage makes suction holders perfect for experimenting with different heights and angles.
Do suction holders work in steamy bathroom conditions?
Quality suction holders are specifically designed for high-humidity bathroom environments. The StoneStream holder uses water-resistant materials and engineering tested in steamy conditions. Steam and moisture don’t affect suction strength—in fact, the seal often becomes stronger. What does matter is proper surface preparation before installation and periodic cleaning to remove soap buildup that can gradually reduce grip over time.
