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.

Hopefully someone will come up with exactly what you need but a couple of
pragmatic sugestions using more readily available grab rails. Option (1)
fit a surface batten between studs and fix the rail to the batten. Option
(2) fit a grab rail vertically to a stud. That has an advantage of
accomodating change of height as a user gets out the bath. Grip strength
might influence you. The Screwfix rails seem to be white but I previously
got chrome, can't remember where, possibly BES?

Thanks for the suggestions. I've seen some chrome rail and fittings at
Screwfix but the rail diameter is 19mm which seems a little slender
for my purposes.

Had another idea which addresses your desire to fix to studs, industrial
barrier tube plus fittings. Can visualise this exactly, unfortunately
couldn't find an obvious link when I looked.
