Fitting shelf

Hi.

I have a shelf to fit onto a tiled wall and I am wondering what kind of fixings you "pros" use. Behind the tile is plasterboard and I need the shelf to be fixed well, what do you recommend?

Thanks,
Keith.

Is it brick behind the plasterboard or a stud partition ? If brick then normal rawplug other wise there are several plasterboard fixing from Screwfix that will do the job. This is just an example

It is a stud partition. Those look like they'll do just the job!
Cheers for that!

You say the shelf needs to be 'fixed well'.....what is it going to carry??

OK it's not going to carry much weight, just a few toiletries but I want it fixed well as loose shelves is one of my pet hates! It would niggle me forever knowing it wasn't properly secure. Do you think I have a problem?

I normally fix everything to a wooden batton which sometimes involves removing plasterboard...can't do this with tiles though
