Bathroom towel rail advice required

Bathroom towel rail advice required

 

My eldest son bought a house last year built around 1965.

Below are photos of the ceramic rail holders - one which is shattered.

Amazingly he found a replacement at a local plumbing store.

 

Personally, I don't like it - but he would like to replace it.

Looking closely at it - it doesn't look like it was professionally installed in the first place?

He made it perfectly clear he has no spare matching tiles - should we botch this up.

The wall is plastered brick.

What would be the best way to remove this?

Thanks!

Graeme.

Hi @Noyade

 

Thank you very much for posting that update on your towel rail repair project. It's very surprising to see how thick the porcelain holder was. I was under the impression that it would be very delicate and would easily crack on being hit with the hammer. 

 

Again, thank you for sharing the photo and technique for removing that tile towel holder.

 

Eric
