Replacing Towel Warmer Radiator?

The Seer · 2026-10-29T09:05:40+0000

Seeking some advice here if anyone can help?

The bottom of the towel rail radiator is rotting out and thus needs replacing, the rot appears to be above the pipe

I'm trying to find a direct replacement for this towel radiator, I'd imagine it'll make life easier since I wouldn't need to replace/re drill for brackets and/or adjust pipework. I have searched the net for an identical unit but as such I haven't managed to source one. Anyone have an idea who might carry one or where to look?

The dimensions are 1498 mm X 500mm

If these units are no longer in production, would the above dimensions allow something similar to fit directly on to the pipework? The brackets would be easier to alter than the plumbing.

All comments appreciated. thanks

1600 x 500 seem to be readily available, I think you'd be unlucky if the fixings weren't ok.

The top ones might be the only issue with a higher radiator.

I did see that 1600mm does seem to be readily available as you mention

Would you say anything that's 500mm in width should fit straight on to the existing pipework?

I can accommodate for that, brackets are pretty easy to remove and refit

Yes, but I don't give a guarantee

Will do

That was somebody who wasn't completely proficient in the trade of plumbing who fitted the towel radiator
