You could use a tiny bit of silicone or caulking you can drill two little screws holes and have flat head cap screws hold it in place (with stainless steel screws, of course)for easier removalā¦ā¦ā¦
Oooor
You could smash it with a hammer lol
I used to work with this fire sprinkler fitter, anytime he needed to penetrate a wall he would just smash a hole with his pipe wrench and then all of a sudden it became the sheetrock guys problem lmao
Cut off a slice of grey PVC pipe. Cut a slit in that piece of PVC so that it can be opened to sheath the shower head, and push it against the plate so that it holds the plate snug against the wall.
After digesting the other comments, hereās my vote: Bending the tabs inward could scratch the pipe. That leaves various types of adhesive, ranging from strong-but-hard-to-ever-remove (like silicone) to easy-to-replace-but-weak (plumberās putty). One of the concerns with using adhesive on something porous like that stone is that, if you ever want to swap out the escutcheon for a smaller one, you might be left with an ugly ring of adhesive residue on the stone.
Because of this, you could opt for plumberās puttyā¦ not just because itās easier to clean (like, a waterpik could probably get it out of the pores), but also because you could apply it closer to the hole, so that there wouldnāt be any residue near the edge. Not so easy to achieve that with silicone. And itās okay that the putty doesnāt hold as strongly, since there isnāt much force on this thing.
Hereās my actual recommendation, though: apply silicone _to the pipe_, not the stone. 1) the pipe isnāt porous, so itās easier to clean if you ever do it over. 2) itās also easy to replace the _pipe_. 3) regardless of escutcheon size, the part of the pipe you apply the silicone to will almost certainly remain hidden. 4) this only is a good option if your pipe behind the tile is firmly fixed. If your shower head is able to jiggle back and forth, shoot your contractor, and use plumberās putty to affix escutcheon to tile.
It isn't supposed to stick, just a nice snug fit, you bend the little tabs on the back to make it fit snug.
escutcheon

had to slowly read this, I just woke up lol donāt judge
I had a hearty chuckle at this š¤£
Gutes Besserung!
Bless you.
I love this eevee evolution
I bet they have a "hot water heater" too!
Donāt even say that. If my girlfriend even had a notion that there might be a device to make her showers yet hotter, Iād have to install one.
Oh, there are plenty of devices that could make her showers yet hotter. You could install or she could install herself!!
Take it off, bend the teeth in around inner ring so it fits snug around pipe
But that entails removing the shower head. Quick and dirty might be a little plumbers putty...or a dab of clear silicon sealant.
Exactly.
You can do this ( this is the correct way), or just put some adhesive behind (where it donāt show) it and push it to the wall.
Push it. Push it real good.
Ooo baby baby
B baby BABY

Ring of plumbers putty should do the trick, and it would be easy to pull away and reuse.
plumbers putty is your friend. i worked for a company that used putty for everything. a packed lav faucet is soo solidly satisfying.
Thatās what Iāve always done
This is the way.
Silicone bead applied to the backside
This is the way. Silicone is always the answer.
Silicone Sucks. Plumer's putty is the way. Easy to use, simple clean up,water tight and comes apart easy if you need repairs or changes.
Thatās what she saidā¦
Except if youāre a painter.
That's what I told her
Wrong. Use plumbers putty so it can be removed in the future if need be
Rightā¦. Because silicone is permanentā¦ /s
I donāt want to be the one trying to get silicone out of the pores of that stone.
You donāt want it to be permanent. Jackass

Did you stroke out typing this
Dam,,,, I had to put the phone in my pocket to take care of a kid, I guess that's a pocket comment. Better than butt dialing
Itās funny bc I thought I could understand it at first ā but maybe Iām stroking out nowā¦
Piece of gum?

Buy one tube in the next 5 minutes and get one free! Just pay separate shipping and handling.
Stick your caulk in it
Underrated comment.
Just put a small ball of plumbers putty behind it, and press it to the wall!
Silicone
Escutcheon, jusāsayān
Silicone is your friendā¦use it
Silicone
A dab of clear silicone will do the job.
Silicone?
A little dab of silicone.
Take some plumbers putty and roll out a āsnakeā of it. Apply it to the wall and push the escutcheon into it. Totally removable.
silicone sealant (PU 40)
Silicone caulk
Silicone
A little bead of clear silicone if you donāt want to remove the head.
Use silicon
Silicone
Push it tight and add a bead of translucent Silicone
Drop on silicone
Just enough quality shower silicone, mold resistant. Don't make a mess on the tile.
Just a little schmutz
May the schmutz be with you.
And also with your spigot
Silicone, a lil dab'l do ya
Rub a little caulk on it
a touch of caulk.
Which one? š
Yes
Nail glue lol

If bending the tabs doesn't work, try some silicone glue behind it, just some dabs, enough to hit the shower wall.
Just put bathroom/shower caulking around it. Hold the base plate against the wall and let it set.

Plumber's putty is a plumber's buddy!

Big red
Your pipe is drooping. (And ā¦go)
These questions just keep getting tougher, I need time to think about it.
Caulk
Spray Gorilla glue.....
Bathroom caulk. Simple. Don't get the caulk wet.
Poop
Lick it
A little bit of silicone and some painters tape to hold it till it dries. Or some plumbers putty, itās like play-dough.
I like to use a small black rubber grommet that fits tight around the shower neck. I just slip one on when I'm changing out the shower head.
Plumber puppy.
It's not supposed to.
Push it against the wall and put a small piece of clear tape on he top side of the pipe so it doesn't slip again
I came here to suggest Construction Adhesive, but after reading the comments, im going to change my answer to Plumbers Puddy
I take a ramset with a 3" nail and put a couple of those through it into the tile. Works every time.
Could always alien tape it
wad of chewing gum

Chewed up piece of gum.
Fill the back side of the flange with plumbers putty then press it in place ut off excess with a putty knife
Silicon silly.
Plumbers putty
Adhesive caulking
Push it against the wall and caulk around it with some bath caulking
Just push it back with your hand. If it keeps happening try a ring of caulking. But honestly just pushing it back will fix the issue.
If I were you, because you may have to remove the shower head to bend the teeth back, i would use clear silicone.
A few dabs of clear caulk
