Removing corroded mounting plate for robe hook in tile shower
I have an enameled robe hook that was installed on the tiled wall inside our
shower, probably over 15 years ago. It looks like it was never designed for damp/moist applications since the hook fell off the square mounting plate and the plate is so corroded as to be an unrecognizable rusted mass. I can sort of make out where one mounting screw is, but that is about it. I've taken a wire brush to it to try, but that has not yielded anything new in terms of identifying how it is mounted or how I could remove it. It does look like it was screwed on top of the tile, which means that any mounting holes were drilled through the tile and into the wall. I sprayed PB Blaster on the one screw head I can sort of make out, but there is really no head left that I could even use a screwdriver on if it works. Thinking about using some kind of cutoff disc to just slice it off if I can. The plate is about 2" square. Any thoughts or ideas on how I can get this corroded mess removed with minimal damage? Am I just going to have to remove the surrounding tiles and then replace them TIA! -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...e-1126165-.htm |
