Will this product seal a chrome shower caddy to prevent rust? ... or should I just purchase a stainless steel caddy?

In my case, so far so good with my shower caddy, which was treated with the Rust-Oleum product.

We never used it in a shower but the handle would be about the only place water can get into the pipe. Draining at the bottom should be adequate, though. When you install, a little lubricant inside the pole should help prevent rust.

this lock is going to rust over time, it holds up well but is not made of stainless steel or brass. If you want a rust proof lock I would think a brass lock would be better.

yes, it will damage it. There is no seal at all and parts are exposed to moisture. I've had 2 of these now and both failed for the same reason. The 1st one was in the bathroom and rusted after 6 months and the 2nd replacement stored outside the bathroom lasted just over a year and the company refused to assist/support. I'm not buying anymore withings products

It's plastic, but not with Chrome paint. It's more like a Chrome plate over plastic. I'd rather have metal, but I think it's a lost cause in this day and age hoping for that.I do have a 12 yo shower where my American Standard thermostatic Chrome plastic handles look as good as new. I do wipe them with my towel after every shower to keep the water drops from drying and leaving mineral deposits. I am going to get the Hansgrohe and deal with it. What other suggests can you offer? Try California Faucets if you really care.

I have brushed nickel on mine. If you are one of those people who have to completely match then that's what I'd suggest. The sink is a nice matte finish...so chrome would dress it up if that is the look you want. It's a sturdy, beautiful sink for the money.Good luck!

I found the same thing to be true. I have a teak shower caddy and I would love to find a product that protects and beautifies without risking an oily residue that can wash off and make the floor slippery. If anyone has found such a product, let us know!

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

The screw's look like they would rust, if I was you I would get stainless screws.. I would still seal the basket. When you get the basket it comes in two pieces that is where I would seal it some way to prevent water from getting in. Hope that helps.

For the past 3 years mine has hung from my towel bar in the back of the shower (i purchased the older chrome version). I had to add 2 additional suction cups to push the hooks at the top out so the caddy hangs level. I have been quite pleased with this product and it has yet to rust.

Hi. I mounted mine in a grill table and it is covered. Stainless will rust and tarnish over time I would cover it with a plastic bin or some such to protect it. Otherwise it keeps ice well and beer cold ;)

Very loosley but I would think it should seal sufficiently. If you are not going to use the hanging bracket feature, I think they may have better models for countertop. I have 5 different ones-love the company.

It was for my Mom. Used in the tub with a telephone shower head. It was GREAT. It did not rust. We had no problems whatsoever. It was the best one and we looked at alot. The sliding seat was wonderful. Good Luck

Mine did not come with any product packaging. It was shipped in an Amazon box, which was filled with that brown paper to keep it cushioned. Mine was also scraped during delivery, so there is a small portion where the dark grey rough metal is exposed. I will observe to see if any rusts appears, over time. However, Zenith's customer service tells me this is made entirely of stainless steel, not a chrome coating.

Because it is crome plated does not mean it won't rust. The problem I have with this product that I purchased only about five weeks ago is the shine went away to a plain steel finish in about two weeks. I am afraid mine will rust right behind yours! Mine does not even have direct contact with water! The crome finish is substandard for its use and should have been coated better. My review to others is to simply save your money and not buy this brand!! Sorry but I don't have a better answer for you. This was the perfect size and not inexpensive. I am very disappointed in the item!!

Hi, I think I've used the stopper once or twice since I've had my sink, and when I did use it I never saw any rust at all. The only time I had to deal with a rust issue was when I was cleaning a pan with an SOS pad. I got a tiny bit of metal under one of the feet of the rack that sits in the sink. Stainless steel is very resilient and if you care for it properly it will look good and won't rust. I cleaned the tiny tiny spot of rust with a dab of Barkeepers Helper. I swear by that stuff. Also stay away from egg white on stainless. It doesn't hurt a cooktop because the heat fixes that, but I dropped a spot the size of a dime on my sink. I didn't realize it was the egg white until I tried to clean it after breakfast. When I got the rust stain, and managed to fix that with Barkeepers Helper, I thought I might as well try it on the egg white stain. To my surprise and great happiness it has taken away the spot!! Warning, be careful how much you rub and how hard. Be gentle or you'll leave a tell tail spot where you've been working. Just gently, with a wet micro cloth, put a little water and a little BH on the cloth and work on the spot. Then when you've done, rinse off the area you are focusing on and then rinse out the cloth and wipe down the whole area. You can do this to water spots also. I have very hard water in my area and I manage to get drips down the front of the sink and on my refrigerator, which is stainless. Stainless steel is beautiful, but it does take some care. I hope I haven't bored you will my information, but I like my new kitchen to look like it did when it was installed a year and a half ago, and it does.

I don't recommend taking a chance if you don't want too. I'd recommend OXO Good Grips Shower Stall Drain Protector I've tried it and it works very well simple to use and no toxic chance.
