fitting new screen to partition wall

[wigz]

hi all i need to fit a bath screen to a partition wall that has been plastered and then tiled. was gonna use the fixings in the photo but the point they have wont bite into a tile like it would plasterboard. what fixings can you recommend. thanks

hi wigz i would still use those fittings, just bend the point up and set them with the setting tool

Wall plugs flush with the tile (don't push them in) plenty of silicone on the back of the profile and screw into position.

i wouldn't recommend the use of the plasterboard fixings over tiles, they have a couple of little pins in them that should bed into the plasterboard that stops them moving about. You can see them in your first picture just under the screw and washer.
they also require a 10mm hole to be drilled, if it doesn't work you have a 10mm hole that you can't do anything with.

and they corrode. horses for courses, wall plugs with lugs every time with correct size drill to match

The bath screen is hinged and will be moved a lot will normal wall plugs be strong enough.

Tiles, plugs and silicone will hold. Tbh you could take the screws out once the silicone has set and it would never move.
