FAQs
What is the Flexi-FixTM system?
Flexi-FixTM is Croydex's innovative mounting system that provides flexibility in installation. It allows you to choose between screwing the product to the wall or using a high-strength adhesive, often accommodating existing screw holes.
Do I need to drill holes to install this toilet roll holder?
No, you do not necessarily need to drill. The holder comes with options for both screw fixing and adhesive fixing. You can choose the method that best suits your needs and wall type.
Can I reuse existing screw holes from an old toilet roll holder?
Yes, the unique 'X' plate design is specifically intended to help you align and reuse existing screw holes, simplifying the replacement process.
What type of adhesive is included?
The product includes a high-strength adhesive suitable for bathroom fixtures. Ensure you follow the specific application and curing instructions provided with the product.
What are the dimensions of the toilet roll holder?
The dimensions are 180mm (width) x 65mm (height) x 65mm (depth).
Is this holder available in other colors?
Yes, a silver version is available in the same Metra series.
How do I clean and maintain the matt black finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to protect the finish.
Troubleshooting
Holder is loose after installation.
If screw-fixed, ensure screws are tightened securely. If adhesive-fixed, the adhesive may not have fully cured, or the surface was not prepared correctly. Re-apply adhesive after thoroughly cleaning and drying the surface, ensuring proper curing time.
Adhesive is not holding the holder to the wall.
The wall surface may not have been properly cleaned or dried before application, or the surface is unsuitable (e.g., highly textured, dusty). Clean the area again with a degreaser, ensure it's completely dry, and reapply the adhesive, allowing full curing time.
Matt black finish is scratched or damaged.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Minor scratches may be difficult to repair. For significant damage, consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
- Choose Your Method: Decide whether to use the screw-fixing or adhesive-fixing method.
- Screw Fixing: Identify desired location. If replacing an old holder, align the 'X' plate with existing holes. If creating new holes, mark and drill as appropriate. Secure the 'X' plate to the wall, then attach the holder.
- Adhesive Fixing: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Apply the provided high-strength adhesive to the back of the 'X' plate or directly to the wall as per adhesive instructions. Press firmly into place and allow adequate drying time (typically 24 hours) before use.
Compatibility:
- The holder is designed for standard-sized toilet rolls.
- Compatible with most bathroom wall surfaces when using the appropriate fixing method (e.g., tiles, painted drywall, wood).
Care:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the matt black finish.
- Wipe dry with a clean cloth after cleaning.
