Grab Rails

A grab rail installed in the right position can make the difference between confidence and anxiety in the bathroom, on stairs, or at a change of level - particularly for older people, those recovering from injury, and anyone with reduced mobility. At the DIY Hardware Store, our grab rails range covers the bathroom-grade, fixed wall-mounted support rails used in domestic and care settings to provide a reliable handhold at the points where it's most needed.

Bathroom grab rails are typically made from stainless steel or chrome-plated brass to resist moisture and cleaning chemicals in the wet environment. The fixing method is critical: a grab rail carries significant load in use and must be fixed into wall studs or concrete backing, not just into plasterboard. Available in straight, angled, and folding configurations to suit different installation positions - beside the bath, in the shower, alongside the toilet, or at a step change. Building Regulations Part M sets out the requirements for accessible bathroom installations in new builds and major renovations.
