Buying guide

How to choose the right toilet support rail

A few quick checks will help you find a toilet support rail that's fitted securely and suits how you'll use it.

1

Check your wall structure

Confirm there's a solid fixing point that can bear weight, and arrange professional installation if you're at all unsure.

2

Decide on the rail style

Consider whether a straight, angled or drop-down rail best suits your bathroom layout and how it'll be used.

3

Think about positioning

Consider the most natural place to grip when sitting down or standing up, and ask an occupational therapist for advice if you're unsure.

4

Check the length and weight rating

Make sure the rail's length and maximum load suit your bathroom and the person who'll be using it.

Common questions

Toilet support rails: your questions answered

Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about toilet support rails.

What is a toilet support rail used for?

A toilet support rail is a wall-mounted rail fitted near the toilet, giving you a secure grip to hold onto when sitting down or standing up.

Can a toilet support rail be fitted to any wall?

No, the wall needs a solid fixing point that can safely bear weight. Stud or plasterboard walls may need reinforcement before a rail can be fitted securely, so professional installation is strongly recommended rather than fitting it yourself without checking.

What's the difference between a straight and an angled rail?

A straight rail runs in a simple vertical, horizontal or diagonal line, while an angled, or raked, rail follows a diagonal path designed to suit the natural motion of pushing up from a seated position. Some people find an angled rail more comfortable to use.

What is a drop-down rail and when is it useful?

A drop-down rail is hinged so it can be folded up against the wall when it's not needed. This can be useful in shared bathrooms, or where space is limited and you don't want the rail in the way all the time.

Am I eligible for VAT relief on a toilet support rail?

If you have a disability or a long-term illness, you may qualify for VAT relief on an eligible toilet support rail. This usually involves completing a simple eligibility declaration, though it's worth checking with your supplier or installer how this applies to both the rail and any installation costs.
