Screw Anchor
March 4th, 2011
How do I remove screw anchors from ceramic tile on my bathroom wall?
I have old plastic screw anchors in my tile and I want to remove them so I can drill a new hole nearby. — The previous owner had the toilet roll arms too close. Thanks!
As answer one states, validly, use caution.
I tile every day of my life, and I’m still baffled by the fact that anyone would drill through tile. For one thing there are FIXTURES, such as toilte paper holders and soap dishes designed to be applied like the surrounding tiles are.
A more logical approach, if one is set on drilling, would be to find a holder that could be drilled, and screwed into grout lines.

Just my two “Sense”
ADDED THOUGHT: If you can, just move one holder. Take a screw the appropriate size, drive it in just a couple of threads, and pull back with a pair of pliers.
