Little kids love using the soap dish as a handle to pull themselves out of the bathtub. It's also the perfect height for a women to rest her foot on as she shaves her legs. So a soap dish takes a lot of abuse, until it finally comes off of the wall. So what do you do then? Well, you can call your favorite Las Vegas handyman, or you can grab a few items and stick it back on the wall yourself.
Some soap dishes are simply glued to the existing ceramic wall tile, and other ones are glued to the cement board or green board and then the ceramic tile is placed around the soap dish. Whichever style you have, you may be able to reuse it or you might have to purchase a new one.
If you are sticking it back on to the ceramic tile surface, use mastic and get it nice and level. Once you have the soap dish in place, use some blue painter's tape to hold it there until the mastic dries, and then remove the tape.
If you are installing the soap dish into the pocket created by the surrounding tile, after you clean out the area, you can use mortar or mastic, again using the tape to hold it in place.
