Cork tape is some kind of rubber. It's not a cloth or a paper to a paper to get wet and become unusable. So yes, it should work. But of course, as it is true of all the material, after long time of use, it will wear out ( faster especially if you are having too hot water for shower, because the elevated temperature may distort the rubber)

Lori, if the grab bar is metal and stays dry this should work! It isn't as if it can't handle moisture though... I ride my bike in the rain all the time. When replacing it, you may notice some sticky residue from the tape that is on the back of the cork which helps with adherence. You can use "goo begone" to get that off easily enough. Not a big deal...

That is a interesting question. The tape is self adhesive and does stand up to rain. Whether the tape will remain secure enough to prevent a fall, I cannot say.

No, the tub wall has to be a minimum of 3" thick for the grab bar to clamp onto a straight surface.

I would not just due to risk of falling is heigh. Shower is wet and slippery and pole could slide out

Likely will rust and have water incursion. Stainless steel grab bars are all I've found to not deteriorate. Those plus a shower chair provide user independence.

Hello well this pull up bar has a nice coat of paint but there's 2 bolts that holds the bar and they only come with a nylon Nut but there's no o ring seal or something like that, eventually water will get inside the 2 main supports and that will be the end, try to contact the manufacturer maybe they have something that might work for you.Good luck

I thinking the moisture from the shower may prevent it from sticking securely, I guess if your able to screw it into the shower wall, It should work perfectly

I don't know for certain but my shower has 4 inch tiles and I do not think that the spacing of the suction cups would work on anything smaller. On the plus side, one of my grabber bars is installed horizontally and the other one is installed vertically and both fit comfortably on the 4 inch tiles.

Actually the grab bar has not been installed so I can not give you an answer. Sorry.

I don't know since my shower enclosure is fiberglass, the ScotchBrite idea in the previous comment sounds like a good idea. I don't think it would hurt to try it.

I would assume it would, but I can't answer definitively. We installed it on my father's cast iron tub, but the new fiberglass tubs are quite sturdy. The tub grab bar is light weight and sturdy and a simple and practical way to offer assistance to someone in need of help entering the tub/shower.

You absolutely do not want to let it get wet. Once it fully dries out by evaporation (no heating) it will probably work.

I used a length of rebar. So yes. Don't let the unit get wet, though-that's my only complaint. Cover it with a pail or something similar.

The slide bar would not be secure enough for holding when getting in and out of the shower, as would a handicap bar. It's not flimsy but the upper and lower connectors are of a heavy plastic as is the movable shower handle caddy. All that being said, I really like it and have found it easy to move the connector up and down the bar conveniently. No issues with the unit at all.

It has to be a completely smooth surface and it will only take a limited amount of pressure. If you are going to pull yourself up you should have regular grab bars installed. This one is meant only to steady one's self.

Not a good idea. You should have a fixture specially designed for the wet shower area. Look up shower light.

It seems as if it should work well inside of a bathtub. Th surface where you place the grip bar should be flat and not curved. The suction cups are very strong (as long as they are adhered to a smooth pat surface).

It would probably work, depending on wide the bar is you are hanging it on, a thin bar would be ok, you may have to take that piece of plastic off that is on the hangar part, I did..
