Abstract: Mounting brackets, assemblies, kits, devices, systems and methods for mounting brackets to walls adjacent to shower tile and shower enclosures, with the brackets having rod support ends over the tile or shower enclosure, where the mounting brackets are used as a replacement for a shower curtain tension rod so that non-tension curtain rods can be used, where the brackets securely hold the rod in place without accidental slippage, and the brackets are mounted without causing damage to the shower wall tiles and shower wall enclosure. The bracket includes a base having opposing ends. A semi-circular projection for supporting a shower rod is disposed on one end. A pair of apertures are disposed on the other end. The base is securable to a wall via fasteners insertable through the apertures. The shower rod bracket provides a mounting point for a shower rod and eliminates the need to use a spring-tensioned rod.
