Radiator types ? Is there something i should be looking for

[Adam h]

First off i apologise if this is in the incorrect section, feel free to move if it is.

Im looking for a bit of advise/guidance, Plumbing or anything to do with water ive always strayed away from doing my self so i havent got a bloody clue even with this which i suppose is pretty basic knowledge.

That said i live in a modern ( 15 year old house ) which has radiators which have long brackets on the wall which the radiator sits on, with flex hoses instead of pipes. I would like to put a stainless steel radiator in the bathroom HOWEVER the Muppet that built the house and hung the radiator in the bath room managed to cut some big holes in the tiles to hang the brackets for the radiator to sit on..................SO i dont want to retile the entire bathroom just to have a stainless steam radiator as all of the ones ive seen have different connections to hang them and of course with those stainless radiators there is big gaps in the towl rails which allows you to see the big holes he's cut in the tiles.

So my question is , is there a stylish stainless radiator which can hang on those brackets which are currently there and with minimal gaps so the cut tiles are not shown to easily.

Not looking to spend £800 on a radiator , but am looking for it to be more stylish than the normal white ones just so it makes the bathroom look a little nicer....

Any help would be much appreciated as i would imagine some of you guys will know what products are available.

Thanks in advance guys , sorry for my F's and blinds

The stylish ones are just that "stylish" minimal, mostly designed so you don't notice the brackets and they are all different.

You will have to deal with the holes or swap the rad like for like.

hmm , i had a feeling that would be the case. I very much doubt id be able to find tiles that are the same now days to cover up the holes enough to make it look respectable so i guess im stuck with the same radiator.

Have a look behind the bath panel. You never know there might be a few tiles knocking about under there

What an excellent thought, Its an old wilcon home so i guess that would be a good place to look for spare tile or tiles we can rip off the wall if they fitted the tiles before the bath. Ill take a look tomorrow morning, thanks for that.

no not fitted tiles, sometimes spares are put under the bath for such eventualities
