How do you take out a toilet paper holder without visible screws?

Some toilet paper holders are made without visible screws to mount flush against the wall. This gives the holder a cleaner, more finished look. Of course, some holders come with screws that are meant to be visible.

The toilet paper holder is normally held in place by two screws. They are usually located on the back of the holder, near the top. 

To remove the holder, you’ll need to remove these screws. Once the screws are removed, the holder should come right off. You may need to pry it off with a flathead screwdriver if it doesn’t.

You’ll now have access to the underlying drywall with the toilet paper holder removed. There will likely be two or more holes in the drywall where the screws hold the toilet paper holder in place. 

These holes must be patched before reattaching the toilet paper holder (or any other type of wall fixture).

To patch the holes, simply use some spackling compound and a putty knife. Apply the compound to the holes and smooth it to level with the surrounding surface. 

Once it’s dry, you can sand it down so that it’s completely flush.

Now that the holes are patched, you can reattach the toilet paper holder (or other wall fixture) by screwing it back into place. 

Be sure to use drywall screws this time, so they don’t strip out as quickly. And that’s it! You’ve now successfully repaired the hole in your drywall.
