Another do it yourself job is putting reliable grab bars in the shower. Us older folk need something that will not pull off when we move around in the shower. The one on the right does just that so I bought the type that are screwed to the shower wall. The shower walls are thin so it is important to find the wall stud and screw them into that.
To find the wall stud behind the shower wall I also purchased a stud finder - the yellow/black tool in the middle of the photo. It was cheap and will penetrate and locate the center of the stud through 5/8 inches thickness. The shower wall is only a quarter inch thick so screwing it to a stud will provide the strength to keep it from pulling loose. Now to find the time to get it done.
