Support Where You Need It

💡 Pro tip: Position rails where your hand naturally goes when you feel unsteady. That's usually at an angle, not straight horizontal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should grab rails go?
Wherever you need support - beside the toilet, by the bath, next to the sink. We position them where your hands naturally reach when you need stability.
Will it damage my tiles?
We drill carefully through tiles into solid wall behind. The holes are hidden behind the rail brackets. Proper fixing is essential for safety.
What about plasterboard walls?
We use special fixings for plasterboard, or locate the studs for a secure fixing. A grab rail must be absolutely solid - no wobble.
Do you supply the rail?
We can supply or fit one you've bought. We ensure it's the right type and properly rated for the load it needs to take.
