Ugly on top!

How to hide soap dish?
+9
In my apartment tub/shower there is this ugly, corroded soap holder. It can’t be removed without taking out the wall! I thought about drilling a few holes in it (there’s no drainage!). But it’s SO ugly! Suggestions? Please! 😩
Ugly on the bottom! No screws to remove, either.
This is an an apartment - you are renting. This item is attached to the wall. You cannot remove it without an OK from your landlord or rental company. Call Them.
BTW: It's probably attached the same way a toilet paper holder is attached....
REfresh it with a metal paint, you could still drill holes for drainage if you want....are you sure that it isnt like a floating shelf with hidden fastenings though?
They sell paint for metal.
Find something plastic that is interesting. Cut it so it will fit over it. Slice the side and cut a piece out. Like a plastic cup - thin. Place it upside down. Then use the top to put the soap. Sine this sounds like a rental, you really cannot do anything permanent, maybe not even paint it. I would speak to your landlord and see if they will fix it.
Sand it then use metal paint. I would not put soap directly on it, use a nail brush or something similar to put under the soap.

The above shows directions to remove the holder. If this works, and there are any holes, how are you going to patch the holes? It looks like you have a fiberglass shower surround.
Clean it up and set your shampoo bottle on it
