Materials
Stainless steel 304 resists rust and suits humid bathrooms, brass is heavy and lasts, aluminium is light and cheap, and zinc alloy looks good but can pit. Plastic is cheapest but fades. Avoid coated iron, which rusts at the screws.
Finishes
Chrome is the easiest to match with taps, and black, brushed gold and brushed nickel give a modern look. Dark finishes show water marks, so wipe them often. Match the finish to your tap and shower.
Fixing
Plan positions before tiling, such as towel rail at 120 to 150 centimetres, paper holder beside the commode at 60 centimetres and robe hook behind the door. Use plugs and screws in solid wall. Adhesive fixing suits light items only.
Care
Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoid abrasives and dry metal after washing. Replace rusty screws early. Clean around the base to prevent stains on the tile. If an adhesive or screw fitting loosens, take it down at once, since a falling towel rail can crack a basin or a tile and cost far more than the fitting itself.
What to check before buying
- Material. 304 steel, brass or aluminium
- Finish. Matches taps
- Fixing. Plugs and screws included
- Warranty. Written
Single pieces or a set
A set is neat and consistent, and single pieces suit rooms where only a few fittings are needed. See accessories sets for set contents. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
Before you decide
Choose the finish first, mark positions before tiling and prefer rust-proof materials. Good accessories finish a bathroom and are used every day.
