I need to buy 2 for the bathroom & En-suite in our house.
Homebase are too dear, B&Q 'cheap' ones look terrible. Started looking on Ebay.
This ones about £80 for a 500x1300 -
This one £70odd for a 500x1150 -
Cant really tell if they are good quality from a small pic though!! Anyone know of a good supplier or bought online before?

I didn't realise you could pick these up as cheap as £70. I always thought they looked quite expensive and presumed they cost about £200

Hanger for robes / whatever is cool feature as well.
I love these towel radiators, what do you have to change from a normal radiator installation to get this to work?

Yeah might not bother with that though, well see.
Just depends, my pipes come out a central backbox so I need to adjust them anyway, so ripping up of walls will be unadvoidable. EnSuite one is getting put on a different wall altogether so i'll need to cut a few hatches in the floor as well. But im taking the full bathrooms out one at a time anyway so might aswell get stuck in & do all I want done at once.

Try your local plumbers merchants. Usually work out a few quid cheaper and may be of better quality.

We always fit stainless ones in our houses. Chrome tends to be cheap and flake off eventually,
We use a company called TLC iirc. always had a good service and quick delivery
