This may be a stupid question, but I've seen various answers out there. We recently redid our master bathroom & were now looking to install a pivot glass shower door, a Dreamline door that has an L-shape bracket on the left side. We did put cement board down, 1/2" thick, under the tile. The only wall where we could put the shower door/pivot part, would not have a stud (its probably about 4 inch from the stud). My husband is convinced we can use heavy duty wall anchors. But in my logical mind, I think that over time & with use & that its only cement board, it will come loose eventually & would not be repairable. So my question is, can we install the pivot shower door into 1/2 inch cement board with wall anchors and have that be enough or should we look into a more expensive sliding door? TIA!

I just got done with a very pricey master bathroom reno and bought a new house that needs another master bathroom reno. I am looking for bang-for-buck updates to salvage as much as I can. I've attached some pictures for reference but here's my thoughts: 1) Replace wall mosaic w/ blu-ish color to align with the brown-ish tile and oil bronzed faucets -- Can this be done w/o damaging the subway tile? 2) Paint ceiling white (currently looks offwhite) 3) Paint wall blu-ish color to align with brown theme 4) Replace shower's faucets with new hardware including rain head #4 is my biggest concern because I will need to rip open the existing tiling from the roughings to the ceiling for the rain shower head. Any concerns over water proofing given I won't have access to entire wall? Flooring is brown-ish porcelain tile and the wall tile is an offwhite color. Any other bang-for-buck ideas?
