The best adhesive screws, compared.
Top pick: Sibba adhesive key hooks Best value: zrfgbxim 16 mm adhesive screws – Lowest price among pads with a large review line that still names a bathroom hold, at about £5.98, after counting the shared 311 once. Updated 22.10.2026.
An adhesive screw on amazon.co.uk is a no-drill fixing that leaves a screw thread or a short hook. Two products share the name, and they are not substitutes. The tesa 77902 is an injection screw for rough masonry and stone, stated at 2.5 kg per screw, with a 12-hour cure on the manufacturer sheet. The other listings are clear peel-and-stick pads for glazed tile, glass and bare metal. Painted plaster and wallpaper are where those pads most often fail or peel the finish. A shower shelf held when the pads stayed off the grout. The order of the decision is in the [adhesive screws buying guide](/hub/fillers-adhesives-and-sprays/adhesive-screws/sub/adhesive-screws-buying-guide). On amazon.co.uk the name covers two different products. Foam tape holds the body while a silane-modified polymer is injected. The manufacturer sheet says wait 12 hours, use it from 5 °C, indoors or outdoors, and do not reuse it. The sheet also warns that plaster can be damaged. A 10 kg brick screw exists in the tesa range and is not in this set, so this page does not quote a price for it.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What are you fixing to?
Fourteen Sibba key hooks cost £4.89 and show 5.0 from one review, and the saved listing has no review text. The listing names tile, claims traceless removal with no sticky residue, and does not state a load, a screw length, or a wait. The bullet names picture frames, towels, and keys as uses. A five-star line with no written review is not evidence those jobs held. At £4.89 you can see the price, and you cannot see a cure time or a kilogram. The traceless claim is unverified in this file.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You only need a named tile surface and a low price, and you will not treat one star as proof.
Less suitable: You want a stated load, a wait time, or any written review before you hang a frame.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The listing does not state a kilogram or pound load.
Which surfaces does the listing name?
The spec line says tile.
How many reviews are on the listing?
The listing line is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 review. The saved listing does not include the review text.
Thirty JYUHA hooks cost £9.99 and sit at 4.6 from 24 reviews, with 15 screws at 8 mm and 15 at 14 mm. The listing states 10 kg on glass, ceramic tile, wood, metal, or plastic, and the bullet says no damage and no traces. A shower caddy stayed up when the instructions were followed, reviewers used them for pictures, and one reviewer reports a clock they estimate at about 8 kg where drilling is not allowed. The captured reviews are positive, so the file has no complaint theme. Twenty-four reviews, with no stated wait and no surface ban, are too few to place this above pads with several hundred written outcomes. The 10 kg line remains the seller's claim.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a large pack of 8 mm and 14 mm hooks for light pictures or a caddy, and you treat 24 reviews as a thin sample.
Less suitable: You are buying because of the 4.6, or you need a stated cure time and a written exclusion for paint.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The listing states a maximum weight capacity of 10 kilograms. One review says a clock of about 8 kg stayed up. Both are claims, not a test.
What is in the pack?
Thirty hooks, 15 with an 8 mm rod and 15 with a 14 mm rod.
Which surfaces does the listing name?
Glass, ceramic tile, wood, metal, and plastic. The bullet says the hooks are for smooth surfaces.
Sixteen WYAN hooks cost £9.79 and sit at 4.4 from 436 reviews. The pack has 6 cm pads, eight screws at 8 mm and eight at 16 mm. The listing states 50 pounds. The bullet says they are not for wallpaper, and it warns that they can fall in humidity and on walls that are not smooth. Reviews on the listing stress a 24-hour wait. Bathroom shelves are reported up for months, and shower shelves for over a year, including in rentals where drilling was avoided. Some pads stuck and others came away, reviewers describe light frames rather than heavy items, and window lights were almost impossible to remove from glass. The 50-pound line is a seller claim, and the written reviews describe a lighter job.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the larger WYAN review file for a light shelf on smooth tile, and you will ignore the 50-pound line.
Less suitable: A heavy load, wallpaper, a humid room you cannot keep the pad dry in, or glass you may need to clear later.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The spec lines state 50 pounds. Reviews include people using them for light frames. The 50-pound line is the listing claim, not a test.
How long do reviewers say to wait?
More than one review says to wait 24 hours. The bullet also says the hooks can fall off over time, especially in humidity or on non-smooth walls.
What screw lengths are included?
The bullet says eight rods at 8 mm and eight at 16 mm, on pads of 6 by 6 cm.
Twelve WYAN hooks cost £8.99 and sit at 4.4 from 149 reviews, with eight screws at 9 mm and four at 5 mm. The listing states 5 kg, and the bullet says they are not for wallpaper. Reviewers report a shampoo shelf on tile, a metal bathroom shelf, and a corner shelf in a shower when the pads stayed off the grout. One review says an earlier shelf failed when pads sat over grout, because moisture got behind the adhesive. The bullet also warns of bubbles in the adhesive after hot shipping. There is no stated wait on the listing. Among the pads in this set, this is the top pick: a 5 kg claim that is closer to the reported jobs than a 50-pound line, two short lengths, and bathroom reports that name the grout limit.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are hanging a light bathroom shelf or shampoo rack on glazed tile, and you can keep every pad on the tile face.
Less suitable: Wallpaper, a pad that must bridge grout, or a rough brick wall.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The listing states a maximum weight capacity of 5 kilograms. It also lists a minimum weight capacity of 5 kilograms, which is how the raw spec line is written.
What screw lengths are in the pack?
The bullet says eight transparent pads with a 9 mm rod, about 10 by 7 cm, and four grey pads with a 5 mm rod, about 10.5 by 7 cm.
What went wrong in the shower review?
One reviewer says a corner shelf stayed up once the pads were kept off the grout. Moisture got behind pads that crossed the grout.
This 16-piece zrfgbxim pack costs £5.98 and shows 4.3 from 311 reviews, the same star line and the same review text as the 12 mm pack B0D5R3DWW5. The listing states 10 kg, a 16 mm rod, and a pad of 50 by 80 mm, for tile, marble, glass, metal, and walls that the bullet narrows to smooth and clean. Reviewers report a bathroom mirror, a towel rail, and a toiletries caddy staying up, and some prefer the longer thread. Paint peeled away with the pad, a small shelf with fake plants fell within a week, and the screw was too fat for a clock or a mirror. There is no wait time on the listing. It is the best value pad in this set on price against a large review line that still names those bathroom holds, provided you count the 311 once.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest pad in this set that still has a large review file naming bathroom holds, and you can live with paint coming away.
Less suitable: You need an independent review sample, a stated cure time, or a screw slim enough for a clock.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The listing states a maximum weight recommendation of 10 kilograms. That figure is the seller's claim.
How long is the screw?
The bullet says the screw rod is 16 mm and the pad is 50 by 80 mm. A nut and cap are mentioned.
Which surfaces does the listing name?
The spec line names tile, marble, glass, metal, and walls. The bullet limits that to smooth, clean surfaces.
Eighteen zrfgbxim pads with a 12 mm screw cost £7.98 and carry the same 4.3 from 311, and the same review text, as the 16 mm pack. The spec line names concrete, brick, and possibly painted walls, while the bullets name tile, marble, glass, and other smooth surfaces. Reviewers in that shared text report a mirror, a towel rail, and a caddy holding. They also report paint ripped off the wall, a light shelf down within a week, and a screw too fat for some clocks and mirrors. The 12 mm rod is the difference you can see on the listing. Count the 311 once, and treat the concrete and brick line as a conflict with the smooth-surface bullet.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You specifically want the shorter 12 mm rod and you will follow the smooth-surface bullet.
Less suitable: Brick or painted plaster, or anyone adding this 311 to the other zrfgbxim 311.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The listing states a maximum weight recommendation of 10 kilograms.
Which surfaces does the listing name?
The spec line says concrete, brick, and possibly painted walls. The bullet says smooth surfaces such as tile, marble, and glass. Both lines are in the saved listing and they conflict.
Is the review count separate from the 16 mm pack?
The saved listing shows 4.3 from 311 and the same review text as ASIN B0D5R3DF74. Do not treat them as two independent review sets.
The CONGGUAN pack is 12 transparent hooks at £4.19, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.3 from 201 reviews. The listing states a 10-pound maximum and a 24-hour wait, and it names metal, tile, wood, ceramics, and plastic. Reviewers use them for pictures, towels, clocks, and light frames on bathroom tile. The same page describes frames dropping within 12 hours or a few days, and broken glass, a lamp, and a mirror after falls. Removal and repositioning pull emulsion or plaster, sometimes within minutes. The screw is described as too short to hang an item without string, and the listing does not give a rod length. At this price you are looking at a light hook with a written failure record, and the 10-pound line is the seller's claim.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cheap transparent hook for a very light frame on smooth tile, and you will treat 10 pounds as a claim.
Less suitable: Painted plaster, anything made of glass, or a bracket that needs a stated screw length.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The amazon.co.uk listing states a maximum weight recommendation of 10 pounds. Reviews on the same page include frames that fell.
How long does the listing say to wait?
The product bullet says to leave the hook for 24 hours before hanging items.
Which surfaces does the listing name?
The spec line names metal, tile, and wood. The bullet also names ceramics and plastic.
Twelve OOTSR sets cost £9.99 and sit at 4.2 from 755 reviews, the largest count in this comparison. Each pad is 70 by 70 mm, with six 16 mm screws and six 10 mm screws, plus a screwdriver. The bullet says up to 18 lb and the spec fields say 6 kg, so the load line disagrees with itself. The listing names glass, tile, metal, polished plastic, and painted wood, excludes rough walls and poorly painted walls, and states a 24-hour wait. Reviewers report heavy glass frames, mirrors, and shelves holding, and a bathroom cabinet still up after a few weeks. Other objects fell after a week to several months, and removal peeled paint, including light shelves in a rented flat. You are buying the two lengths and the review volume, and 18 lb and 6 kg are two different claims.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want 10 mm and 16 mm screws on smooth tile or glass, and you can accept mixed load lines and a paint risk.
Less suitable: A rented emulsion wall, or a buyer who needs one agreed kilogram.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The bullet says up to 18 lb per pad. The spec fields say 6 kilograms. Both lines are in the saved listing.
Does the listing allow painted walls?
The bullet says the pads suit painted wood and are not for rough or poorly painted walls. Reviews say removal peeled emulsion.
What is in the pack?
Twelve 70 by 70 mm pads, six 16 mm screws, six 10 mm screws, and a screwdriver. The bullet says to wait 24 hours.
Eight YUANQIAN pads cost £8.30 and sit at 4.1 from 359 reviews. The pads are 70 by 70 mm, with 16 mm, 10 mm, and 6 mm screws, plus washers and nuts. The bullet states up to 14 lb, a 24-hour wait, and it excludes poorly painted walls. Reviewers mention large pictures in a living room and smaller ones in a bathroom, and they praise the choice of bolt length. One review reports no stability, a light lamp fell off a window after about four days, and short reviews say it did not do the stated job. Only a handful of the 359 reviews are captured as text, so the star line is wider than the written sample. Three lengths are the reason to shortlist it, and the early drop on glass is the reason to hesitate.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need a short 6 mm screw as well as 10 mm and 16 mm, for pictures on glass, tile, or painted wood that is sound.
Less suitable: A poorly painted wall, or a window where a light lamp must stay up from day one.
Specifications
Common questions
What screw sizes are included?
The bullet says screws of 16 mm, 10 mm, and 6 mm, plus washers and nuts, on 70 by 70 mm pads.
What load does the listing state?
The bullet says up to 14 lb per pad on glass, tile, metal, polished plastic, or painted wood, and not on a poorly painted wall.
What do the captured reviews say?
Praise includes pictures and the mix of bolt lengths. Complaints include no stability and pads that fell off a window in about four days.
The tesa 77902 is the only injection adhesive screw in this set, at £8.05, rated 4.0 from 296 reviews. The listing states 2.5 kg per screw on rough masonry and stone, and 5 kg if you use two screws. A UK review describes foam tape plus injected adhesive and a 12-hour cure, with an en-suite mirror still holding on tile after that wait. Other reviews report a kitchen rail after more than a year and solar lights on outdoor clinker after months. The adhesive tube arrived dried, expired, or solid for several buyers, and plaster or render tore or failed to hold, including a wreath of about 300 g. The title says two pieces while a raw field says one, and the thread lines conflict between M6 and M8 x 50 mm. It is the masonry option in this comparison, and emulsion is the surface the manufacturer sheet warns can be damaged.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are fixing into rough brick, stone, or clinker and you can check that the adhesive in the tube is still soft.
Less suitable: Emulsion on plaster, or a smooth tiled wall where a peel-and-stick pad is the product the listings describe.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The title and bullet state 2.5 kg per screw, and 5 kg if you use two screws, for rough, solid surfaces.
How does the UK review describe fitting?
Stick the bracket with the foam tape, inject adhesive until it comes out of the small hole, and leave it 12 hours. The listing says the screw is removable and for indoor or outdoor use.
What thread size is listed?
The listing contains conflicting lines, including M6 and M8 x 50 mm, plus unthreaded. The conflict is unresolved in the saved listing.
Twenty qxayxa hooks with an 8 mm screw cost £6.99 and sit at 3.6 from four reviews. The bullet excludes rough walls, painted walls, wallpaper, plaster, and stained surfaces, and it suggests 24 hours before a heavy object. No kilogram figure is stated. Two review texts call them sticky and staying put, and one says the thread fitted an existing spice-rack mount. There is no complaint theme in those two texts. Four reviews is too small to treat that silence as a pattern. The useful line on this page is the exclusion list.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want an 8 mm thread for an existing mount on tile, glass, or metal, and you will stay inside the bullet's exclusion list.
Less suitable: Painted plaster, or any job where you need a stated kilogram and more than a handful of reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
What load does the listing state?
The listing does not state a kilogram or pound capacity.
Can the listing be used on painted walls?
The bullet says no. It also excludes wallpaper, plaster, and rough or stained walls.
What do the reviews in the saved listing say?
Two reviews describe a strong stick and a spice-rack repair. One says to leave the pad 24 hours before adding weight. Neither records a failure.
Twelve Lcneopmssm hooks cost £4.99 and sit at 3.0 from a single amazon.co.uk review. The bullet states 11 lb (5 kg), about 5.5 by 5.5 cm, a 24-hour wait, and it excludes painted walls and wallpaper. That one review calls them handy and barely noticeable on a clean smooth surface, and says the writer would not rely on the 5 kg line. Item weight is listed as 4.2 g, which is the figure on the page, not a tested capacity. With one review, the honest exclusion of painted walls is the part of the listing you can use. The star line is too thin to rank the hook.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cheap hook whose listing already rules out painted walls, and you accept that one review is the whole file.
Less suitable: You are choosing on stars, or you need more than one written outcome before you hang glass.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing allow painted walls?
No. The bullet says the hooks are not suitable for painted walls or wallpaper.
What load does the listing state?
The bullet says each hook can support up to 11 lb (5 kg). The only review says the writer would not rely on that figure.
How large is each hook?
The bullet says about 5.5 by 5.5 cm. Item weight is listed as 4.2 g.
Twelve amazon.co.uk adhesive-screw listings were scored on a 0–100 scale. Amazon evidence is 30 points, from the star line, with a deduction when the count is small or when two ASINs share one review text. The zrfgbxim 311 is counted once. Listing fit is 30 points: a clear surface, an honest exclusion, a stated wait and screw lengths score higher. A load line the written reviews do not approach, or a spec line that fights the bullet, scores lower. Review outcome is 25 points: named holds on the surface the listing describes score higher than falls, peeled paint or dried adhesive. Value is 15 points: shelf price in GBP against a pad or screw a review can still describe in use. A low price does not score when the file is one star and no text. The highest score is the top pick. The lowest price among pads with a large review line that still names a bathroom hold, after the shared-pool deduction, is the best value. This is not a lab test. A stated load is the seller's claim. Prices are the amazon.co.uk shelf prices on 19 October 2026.

Match the wall first, then the stated load, then the screw length, then the wait. A peel-and-stick pad and the tesa injection screw answer different walls, so do not treat a high star line as a reason to swap them. Prefer a written review of a named job over a high score from one rating. Count the zrfgbxim 311 once. A stated kilogram or pound figure is the seller's claim, and price comes last.
An adhesive screw is a no-drill fixing that leaves a screw thread or a short hook. On amazon.co.uk the name covers two different products. The injection screw in this set is the tesa 77902, model 77902-00000-00, at about £8.05, rated 4.0 from 296 reviews. The listing states 2.5 kg per screw on rough masonry and stone, and 5 kg if you use two screws. Foam tape holds the body while a silane-modified polymer is injected.
The tesa brick-and-stone sheet says 12 hours. Pad bullets commonly say 24 hours. Several listings, including both zrfgbxim packs and the WYAN 12-piece, state no wait at all. Hanging a frame the hour you stick the pad is how early falls show up in the reviews.
Painted plaster and wallpaper are where these pads most often fail or peel the finish. Lcneopmssm and qxayxa say they are not for painted walls or wallpaper. Reviews on CONGGUAN, zrfgbxim and OOTSR describe emulsion or plaster coming away. A no-drill tenancy clause does not make that acceptable.
Those figures are seller claims. WYAN’s 16-piece pack states 50 pounds while the written reviews describe lighter shelves and frames. OOTSR states both 18 lb and 6 kg. Bridging shower grout is a separate miss: moisture got behind WYAN pads that crossed the grout. Do not clean the face with a silicone spray before you stick a pad.
Surface decides which product you are buying. Rough, solid brick or stone points to the tesa 77902 injection screw, stated at 2.5 kg per screw, or 5 kg if you use two screws. The manufacturer sheet covers indoor and outdoor use from 5 °C and warns that plaster can be damaged. If the wall might be plaster rather than solid brick, do not inject that screw. Glazed tile, glass and bare metal point to a peel-and-stick pad.
Treat every kilogram or pound figure as the seller’s claim. Keep the unit the listing uses, because some pages disagree with themselves. OOTSR says up to 18 lb in the bullet and 6 kg in the spec fields. WYAN’s 16-piece pack states 50 pounds, while the written reviews describe light frames and bathroom shelves, not a 50-pound hang. JYUHA and both zrfgbxim packs state 10 kg. CONGGUAN states 10 pounds, and reviews on that page describe falls below that line.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are hanging a light bathroom shelf or shampoo rack on glazed tile, and you can keep every pad on the tile face. The WYAN 12-piece pack is the top pick at about £8.99: 4.4 from 149 reviews, a stated 5 kg, eight screws at 9 mm and four at 5 mm. A shower shelf held when the pads stayed off the grout.
You are fixing into rough brick, stone or clinker and you can check that the adhesive in the tube is still soft. The tesa 77902 is the only injection screw in this set, at about £8.05, stated at 2.5 kg per screw, with a 12-hour cure on the manufacturer sheet. It is not a substitute for a tile pad.
You want the lowest price in this set that still has a large review file naming bathroom holds, and you can live with paint coming away. The zrfgbxim 16 mm pack is the best value at about £5.98. The 4.3 from 311 is shared with the 12 mm pack, so count that pool once.
