There used to be a towel rod here but it was constantly getting loose so we moved it to the wall. What Can I do to plug these holes? (the screws are removable)

White glossy lacquer. I don't think i can patch it nicely. I was thinking some sort of plug?

Something like this could work.  Maybe I would get chrome so it doesn't look like I'm masking something.
Is there something like this I can screw in? Would that be more secure?Thanks
Not sure about screw in ones but they do have chrome. Maybe a little super glue for more secure?

This hinge on the bottom of my shower door lets water through. Does anyone have an idea how I can seal it?

Water should only come through if pointed straight at it. Might need to slightly adjust your shower head
