I really hope someone can help ... my 7yr old son was in the bathroom and trying to get the flannel off the hook for our daughter. He couldn't reach, so he climbed on the towel rail (like a radiator), using it like a ladder, to get to it.
The brackets that hold it to the wall broke and the whole thing came off the wall!
The towel rail flopped on the floor, held on by nothing other than bent, flattened, pipes. My wife lifted it back in place, only then realising the brackets were broken, and then lowered it to the floor again.
At the moment the pipes aren't leaking; despite being bent down, then up, then back down again.
I'm wondering though, the pipes are copper microbore heating pipes, will they survive another move back into position? Or are they likely to crack?
If it's fairly safe to rotate it back into position I can get new brackets myself. If not, I fear an expensive call out to a plumber!
Thanks in advance for any help,
