Can anyone please tell me of suppliers who sell the simple, unheated
type of chrome towel rail? I want to put one on the wall over the
bath, to provide something solid for my Dad to hang on to when he's
getting in and out of the bath. I'll need to screw it firmly to the
studs in the partition wall, hence the need for adjustable rail
length.

Can't you get such aids ready made for the purpose .....?

If you cant find on-line then your local Social Services/Social Work Dept will
be able to tell you or an organistaion like Age Concern..

I know what you suggest is the most sensible and appropriate course
of action. My intentions here may indicate a certain over-sensitivity
but I want to provide some help without overtly catering for
"incapacity".
A sturdy chrome rail could be there nominally to provide a place to
hang a rubber shower mat and just by coincidence happen to be in the
right place to make the bracket grabable at specific points of entry
and exit, maybe postponing the fall that pride is said to go before.
