Towel holder installation

Takes about 30 min

A wet bath towel is heavier than it looks, so a towel rod needs to be fixed properly or it pulls out of the wall within weeks. A verified plumber marks both brackets with a level, drills the tiles with a tile bit, uses wall plugs that suit your wall and fixes the rod, ring or rack so it stays put.

A single holder takes about 30 minutes and starts from the price shown on this page. Larger racks or more than one holder are priced and agreed first. Buy the holder beforehand and decide whether it goes near the shower or by the door. The plumber will suggest a height that clears the door swing.

What's included

  • Bracket positions marked with a level
  • Tiles drilled with a tile bit
  • Wall plugs chosen to suit the wall
  • Rod, ring or rack fixed firmly
  • Load check by hand after fitting
  • 30-day warranty on the fitting

What's not included

  • The towel holder, bought by you
  • Heated towel rails and their wiring
  • Repairing damaged wall plaster

How the visit goes

  1. 1

    Choose the height

    The plumber checks the door swing and shower spray and agrees a height with you.

  2. 2

    Level both brackets

    Both bracket holes are marked level so the rod sits straight.

  3. 3

    Drill and fix

    The tiles are drilled, plugs are set and the holder is screwed tight.

  4. 4

    Test the load

    The rod is pulled firmly by hand to confirm it holds a wet towel.

What we need from you

  • The towel holder with its fixings
  • Your preferred wall and height

Questions about this service

My old towel rod keeps coming loose. Why?

Usually the plugs were too small for the hole or the wall behind the tile is hollow. The plumber uses plugs that suit your wall.

Can you fit a heated towel rail?

Fixing the rail is possible, but the electrical connection needs an electrician. Book that separately.

Can I add a second holder?

Yes. Each extra holder is priced and agreed with you before drilling.
