Heated Towel Rail Replacement
Heated towel rail replacement is a planned service to remove your existing rail and install a new one, leaving it secure, leak-free and heating as it should. It is ideal when a rail has started to corrode, no longer heats evenly, or you want a better size or style for the room.
More information
What heated towel rail replacement covers
A straightforward replacement should feel simple and predictable. The service typically includes:
- Isolating the heating and or hot water supplies as needed
- Safe removal of the existing towel rail and brackets
- Checking valve positions, pipe centres and wall fixings before fitting
- Fitting the new towel rail and connecting to existing pipework (or replacing valves if required)
- Refilling, venting and balancing where necessary so it heats properly
- Leak testing and operational checks (heat-up and valve function)
- A clean, tidy finish and clear handover on how to use the controls
When replacement is the right choice
- Your towel rail is leaking, corroded, or has damaged threads or valve connections.
- The rail stays cold at the top, heats inconsistently, or needs frequent bleeding.
- You are updating the bathroom and want a different size, output or finish.
- You need a more practical layout for towels, storage, or furniture clearance.
What happens during the visit
First, measurements and connections are confirmed to avoid surprises, then the system is isolated and the old rail is removed. The new rail is fitted with attention to alignment, bracket strength and correct sealing on all connections. Finally, the system is brought back up, vented, and checked under pressure so you can be confident it is working properly.
After checks and ongoing value
Once installed, you should have reliable heat, easier control at the valves, and no staining or damage from slow leaks. If there are signs of wider issues, such as sludge, poor circulation, or tired valves, you will be told what it means and what the sensible next step is. This keeps the repair focused while protecting the rest of the heating system.
