Support In The Shower
Showers are slippery. A grab rail gives you something solid to hold. Stand steady, move safely, shower with confidence.
💡 Pro tip: A vertical rail near the shower entrance helps with getting in and out. An angled or horizontal rail inside helps while washing.

🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting a shower grab rail yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Proper shower grab rail (wet-rated)
- Tile drill bit
- Masonry drill bit
- Wall plugs (stainless steel)
- Screwdriver
- Sealant
📐 Fitting tips
- Mark position carefully
- Drill tiles slowly (no hammer action)
- Continue into wall behind
- Use correct plugs for wall type
- Seal around bracket edges
⚠️ Critical points
- Must be absolutely solid
- No wobble at all
- Correct wall fixings
- Seal to prevent water ingress
- Never use suction rails
💡 Pro tip: Fill any gap between tile and bracket with silicone sealant. Stops water getting behind tiles and weakening the fixing.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should it go?
Usually a vertical rail for standing support, or angled for getting in and out. We position it where your hand naturally reaches when you feel unsteady.
Will it cope with wet hands?
Shower grab rails have textured surfaces - ribbed or dimpled for grip. Won't slip even when hands are wet and soapy.
What about tile walls?
We drill through tiles into solid wall behind. Proper fixings into masonry or studs - not just stuck on. Has to be absolutely solid.
Is suction cup type okay?
No. Suction grab rails can fail without warning. Only properly fixed rails are safe. We don't fit or recommend suction types.
