I used some 'chrome' tubing to create a shower rail but after only 12 months it's starting to show rust spots, as are the fixings to the tiled walls.
Anyone care to offer suggestions for an alternative?
TIA
Shower curtain rail rusting

It sounds like condensation. Is there any mould growth on shower curtain, windows or anywhere else in room?
Maybe stainless steel rails and fixings would help if it is an ongoing problem.

Use stainless steel tubing and fitments?
Yes, good idea, but it's not something I've seen on sale.
Wire wool, with 3-in-1 oil
A 5 second Google for starters:
but maybe it just needs better ventilation?
Thanks. Having never seen it on sale I didn't know it existed so didn't think to Google...
Hi,
Sounds like you may have used normal 'wardrobe' rail which won't withstand a lot of damp.
Try a purpose made shower rod, Ikea do them.
cheers, Pete.
Thanks, I've got a trip planned to Ikea next week.
