I bought a small towel bar to hang a washcloth on in a tiled walk-in
shower and bought this to mount it:

https://smile.amazon.com/Gorilla-Tough-Double-Mounting-Inches/dp/B00OXVG9FW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1543413360&sr=8-4&keywords=gorilla+mounting+tape

That was stainless to tile and it held up great for years.

What I would do is get rid of the suction cup and mount whatever is
behind the suction cup directly to the tile with this tape.

Good Luck,

-Paul
