Toilet brush holder fixed securely to your bathroom wall or floor. No more freestanding ones that tip over or slide about when you're cleaning.
When Freestanding Isn't Working
The toilet brush holder gets knocked over every time someone cleans behind the toilet. It slides across the floor. Or you just want everything wall-mounted for a cleaner look.
Ten minute job to fix it properly.
💡 Pro tip: Wall-mounted bathroom accessories look more expensive and make cleaning the floor much easier - nothing to pick up and put back.
Wall Mounted vs Floor Mounted

|---|---|
| Saves floor space | More stable than freestanding |
| Easier to clean under | Can handle heavier brush sets |

What to Expect
Step 1: Position Check
We work out exactly where you want it. Most people put wall-mounted ones next to the toilet, about 10-15cm off the floor. I'll show you what looks right.
Step 2: Drill & Fix
If it's going on tiles, I use a tile bit and go carefully. If it's on plasterboard, I use appropriate wall plugs. Floor-mounted ones go into the floor tiles with special fixings.
Step 3: Mount & Check
Holder goes on, screwed tight, checked it's secure. Should be rock solid.
🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting your own toilet brush holder is doable if you're careful:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill with masonry/tile bit
- Spirit level
- Pencil
- Screwdriver
- Correct wall plugs (often supplied with the holder)
🎯 For drilling tiles
- Put masking tape over the tile where you're drilling (stops bit slipping)
- Mark position clearly on the tape
- Use a sharp tile/glass drill bit
- Go SLOWLY - let the bit do the work
- Once through the tile, swap to a masonry bit for the wall behind
- Don't use hammer mode until you're through the tile
📏 Positioning tips
- Wall-mounted: 10-15cm from floor usually looks right
- Use a spirit level to check it's straight before drilling
- Hold it up first and see if the height works
- Consider where the toilet lid opens to - don't block it
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Using hammer drill mode on tiles (they crack)
- Drilling too fast (tile cracks)
- Wrong wall plugs for plasterboard (they pull out)
- Not checking level before drilling (wonky holder forever)
💡 Pro trick: If you're drilling multiple fixings (like a double holder), drill one hole, fix one screw loosely, then hang the holder and mark through the other hole. Ensures perfect alignment.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 While I'm there: Fitting a toilet brush holder is quick. Bundle it with toilet roll holder, shelf, mirror, towel rail - anything else for the bathroom. Make the visit count.
Chrome vs plastic: Chrome/metal holders look smarter but cost more. Plastic/ceramic ones are cheaper and fine if you're on a budget. Both fix to the wall the same way.
Tile adhesive pads: Some people use stick-on holders to avoid drilling. They work for light stuff but toilet brush holders get knocked about - proper screws are more reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I fix a toilet brush holder to the wall instead of freestanding?
Wall-mounted ones don't get knocked over, they don't slide about when you're cleaning, and they look neater. Also useful if your bathroom's tight on floor space. Some people just prefer the cleaner look of everything fixed to the wall.
Can you drill into tiles without cracking them?
Yes - with the right drill bit and technique. I use a tile bit, go slowly, and put tape over the tile first to stop the bit wandering. Tiles crack when people rush or use the wrong bit. Done properly it's fine.
What if I don't have a toilet brush holder yet?
No problem - I can pick one up from Screwfix or B&Q on the way if you let me know what style you want. Or you buy it yourself and I'll fit whatever you've got. Either works.
Will it match my other bathroom fittings?
That's down to what you buy. Toilet brush holders come in chrome, brushed nickel, black, white - same finishes as toilet roll holders and towel rails. If you want it to match, get the same brand/range as your existing fittings.
Can you move an existing toilet brush holder to a different position?
Yes, but you'll have old screw holes to fill where it was. If it's on tiles, those holes will need touching up with white filler or tile paint. If it's on a painted wall, easier - just fill and paint over.
