FAQs
Do I have to drill holes to install this towel rail?
No, the Flexi-Fix™ system offers two options: screw fixing (which can utilize existing holes) or a high-strength adhesive glue-fix option, meaning drilling is often unnecessary.
What is the 'X' plate and how does it work?
The 'X' plate is a universal mounting bracket for the Flexi-Fix™ range. It can be screwed or glued to the wall and is designed to align with common fixing points left by old accessories, simplifying installation and future updates.
What surfaces is the adhesive best suited for?
The adhesive works best on smooth, clean, dry, and non-porous surfaces such as glossy tiles or sealed surfaces. It is not recommended for textured, wallpapered, or freshly painted walls.
How long should I wait for the glue to set?
You should wait a minimum of 24 hours for the high-strength adhesive to fully cure before attaching the towel rail to the mounted 'X' plate.
What are the dimensions of the towel rail?
The dimensions are 54mm (height) x 67mm (depth) x 775mm (width).
Is the silver finish prone to tarnishing?
The towel rail features a high-quality chrome-plated finish on a durable zinc alloy construction, designed to resist tarnishing and corrosion in a bathroom environment when properly cared for.
Can I use this towel rail in a shower room?
While durable, it is primarily designed for bathroom linen drying. For constant high-moisture exposure directly from showering, ensure adequate ventilation and consider materials specifically rated for such conditions. Regular cleaning is advised.
Troubleshooting
Towel rail is loose after installation.
If screw-fixed, ensure screws are fully tightened into the wall plugs. If glue-fixed, the adhesive may not have fully cured or the surface may not have been properly prepared. Re-evaluate surface and re-apply adhesive if necessary, allowing full curing time.
Glue is not holding the 'X' plate securely.
The surface may be porous, dusty, wet, or not smooth. Clean the surface thoroughly with a degreaser, ensure it is completely dry, and re-apply the adhesive, applying firm pressure and allowing 24 hours to cure.
Cannot align 'X' plate with existing holes.
The 'X' plate is designed to cover most common fixing points, but slight variations exist. You may need to use the glue-fix method or drill new, minimal holes if the screw-fix alignment is not possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.
- Choose your fixing method:
- Screw Fix: Align the 'X' plate with existing or new holes. Secure the plate using the provided screws and wall plugs. Attach the towel rail to the plate.
- Glue Fix: Apply the high-strength adhesive to the back of the 'X' plate. Press firmly onto the prepared surface. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to cure before attaching the towel rail.
- Ensure wall brackets are positioned correctly before final attachment.
Compatibility:
The Flexi-Fix™ 'X' plate is designed to be universal within the Croydex Flexi-Fix™ collection, allowing for easy future upgrades. It is compatible with most standard wall surfaces, including tiles, painted plasterboard, and wood. For the glue-fix method, ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Not recommended for textured, porous, or freshly painted surfaces.
Care:
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the chrome finish. Periodically check fixings to ensure they remain secure.
