Does it come with fixings?
Yes, it is supplied with matching fixings for installation.
What is the recommended way to clean the robe hook?

Is this hook suitable for a modern bathroom?
While its design is traditional, the range of finishes, particularly polished chrome or nickel, can complement modern or transitional bathrooms seeking a classic accent.
How is the hook attached to the wall?
It features traditional face fixings, meaning screws are visible on the front of the backplate, requiring direct screwing into the wall.
What are the dimensions of the robe hook?
Please refer to the product's technical specifications or packaging for exact dimensions, as these are not provided in the general description.
Troubleshooting
Hook is loose on the wall
Check that screws are fully tightened. If the wall anchors are damaged or the holes are too large, remove the hook, fill the holes, allow to dry, and re-drill pilot holes before re-attaching.
Finish appears dull or tarnished
Depending on the finish, use a specific metal cleaner (e.g., brass cleaner for brass finishes). For most finishes, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient for regular care. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Screws provided do not suit wall type
The provided fixings are standard. For specialized wall types (e.g., very thin plasterboard or hard tiles), you may need to purchase appropriate wall anchors or screws from a local hardware store.
