Made from isocyanate and polyol resin, spray foam rapidly expands and hardens when sprayed to any surface. Remove the flange (mounting plate) from the wall and put the straw applicator into the wall. Spray liberally behind the wall and replace the flange. If any foam expands outside the wall, use a razor blade to cut it away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Epoxy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you can still see the bolts holding the shower arm in place, apply a bead of epoxy around the circumference of the shower arm. This will give it a stronger grip on the water pipe, and should hold it in place until you’re ready to replace it entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Caulk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you don’t have epoxy or foam on hand, caulk can also provide a temporary fix. Apply a generous amount of caulk around the shower arm where it exits the wall. Be sure to thoroughly clean the tile before applying, as caulk will not adhere to dirty surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Future Prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prevent hanging anything heavy from your shower arm, as this can lead to it becoming loose over time. For example, many people like to hang shower caddies off their shower arm. However, once loaded with shampoo, soap, and other bath items, the heavy weight of these can cause the arm to work its way out of the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
