soap dish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bathroom item' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'repair shop said' is the wordplay.
'repair' is an anagram indicator (letters are fixed or repaired).
'shop'+'said'='shopsaid'
'shopsaid' anagrammed gives 'SOAP-DISH'.

'to provide' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for soap dish that I've seen before include "Bathroom receptacle" , "bathroom accessory" , "Bathroom fitment" .)
