We have an Ondine handheld shower bar which holds the handheld shower, mirror, soap dish and accessories basket. Unfortunately the bottom bracket which holds the whole thing up broke today and the entire thing came crashing down. It appears that there was a screw or nail which held the bottom bracket to the ceramic tile - this "screw" is completely rusted and broken off. I don't know if it was a screw or what it was, it's now just a rusty nub of something stuck in the ceramic tile.
My online searches show that Ondine went out of business. Of course, the plumber who installed it when the house was built did not leave the installation instructions behind so we have no idea how this thing gets attached to the wall.
I am attaching some pictures in the hope that it might help someone figure out how to get the bracket back on the wall.
It looks to me like the broken bracket should come apart somehow so that we can screw it to the wall but I can't figure out how to get it apart. It feels a little wiggly like it should come apart.
I am guessing that we will need to somehow remove that rusty nub, but how?
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
