I am looking for recommendations on fixings for tiled plasterboard walls.
The walls are "paramount" construction which means plaster board with
cardboard egg crating between -- so no good looking for studs!

I tend to favour the metal type fixings in plain plaster board - the type
that deform in the cavity and leave a captive nut so that the fixing can be
undone and re-made if necesary. However these have a faceplate with "teeth"
to key into the face of the plaster to prevent the whole thing revolving -
no good on tiles of course.

I am hoping to use fixings to secu

Bathroom accessories:

Towel rail
Soap dish
Toothbrush holder
Shower screen maybe

So some items will require quite serious fixings.

Any recommendations on fixing types etc appreciated.

TIA

Phil

If it was me, and I had one of these, I'd spend a few moments with an
angle grinder, remove the teeth, and use adhesive.
There is probably a right way.

Try these, they work quite well.

That's light duty stuff, so any of the toggle or expansive cavity plugs will do.
