Toilet Roll Holder with No Drilling: Stick It On, Tape Included

4 min read Updated By Kahaus · printed in Poland

In short

  • This toilet roll holder sticks to a smooth wall with the double-sided tape that comes in the box: no drilling, no screws, no plugs.
  • It measures 12 × 7.5 cm, is 3 cm thick and weighs 23 g; a small upright tab at the tip keeps the roll from sliding off.
  • It is made for toilet paper only: not for towels, not as a grab handle, and not next to a radiator or hot water.

A toilet roll holder is easy to overlook until it is missing or in the wrong place. Ours goes on the wall without a drill: you stick it on with the double-sided tape that is in the box, and the tiles stay free of holes.

We print it in Poland, to order. Below: who a stick-on holder suits, how to mount it so it stays put, what it measures, and where we would honestly not use it.

Why a stick-on toilet roll holder makes sense

A stick-on toilet roll holder solves a very ordinary problem. Many people rent and are not allowed to drill, or simply do not want to put a hole through a tile they cannot replace.

  • Renting: no holes in tiles or walls to repair when you move out.
  • Tiles you want to keep: a drilled tile stays drilled; a smooth tile under tape does not.
  • A quick change: a new place by the toilet, without tools, dust or a drill bit for ceramics.

If you are tidying the whole room, our bathroom decor ideas go through the small accessories that keep the counter clear.

Toilet roll holder, no drilling: how to mount it

The holder is one solid piece with a flat back, and that flat back is what the tape needs:

  1. Pick a smooth spot: tiles, panels or a painted wall.
  2. Clean it, degrease it and let it dry completely.
  3. Stick the flat back of the holder on with the tape from the box and press firmly.
  4. Wait a few hours before you load the first roll.

The arm stands off the wall and takes a standard household toilet roll; a new roll slides on from the side in one move, and the holder stays on the wall. The small upright tab at the tip stops the roll from sliding off as you pull paper.

Size and fit: which toilet roll holder for your bathroom

The outline is 12 × 7.5 cm, the profile is 3 cm thick and the holder weighs 23 g. No springs, no moving parts. The slim, square-edged shape takes little space next to the toilet and looks calm on tiles.

It comes in six colours: black, white, grey, beige, chocolate and pink. If your wall cannot take tape at all, a free-standing holder is the other way out. We print both:

Option How it holds Size Best for
Stick-on holder Double-sided tape on a smooth wall 12 × 7.5 cm, 3 cm thick, 23 g The roll in use, on the wall by the toilet, no holes
Sheep roll holder Stands free on the floor, a shelf or the cistern About 14 cm tall with a standard roll A spare roll and a smile, no wall needed

The sheep, printed in PETG, is the funny one: see our funny toilet roll holder guide. Whichever toilet paper holder you choose, check the spot first: you need a little room beside the arm to slide a roll on from the side.

What it is not for, and why PLA dislikes heat

We do not state a load rating for the tape, so we say it plainly: this holder is for toilet paper only. Do not hang a towel on it and never use it as a grab handle to steady yourself. For towels, a hook is the better tool; see our sister guide on towel hooks with no drilling. It is not made for kitchen roll either; for that we print a countertop paper towel holder.

The holder is 3D printed in PLA: light and rigid, but it softens with heat. Keep it away from radiators, a heated towel rail, hot water and the shower spray. Visible layer lines are typical of the technique, not a defect.

Questions we often hear

Is a self adhesive toilet roll holder strong enough?

For a roll of toilet paper, yes. We do not state a load rating for the tape, so do not hang anything else on it, and give the tape a few hours before the first roll.

Can I stick it on any wall?

It needs a smooth, clean and dry surface: tiles, panels or a painted wall. Degrease the spot first. On rough or crumbly surfaces, or right next to a radiator, we would not use it.

Is the toilet roll included?

No. In the box you get the holder in the colour you chose and the double-sided tape for mounting.
