I want to buy a radiator/towel rail similar to this one from Screwfix, but
larger and with more heat output. Any suggestions for what to buy and
where, please?

Try Googling for Towel Rail. You will be overwhelmed by choice. Places like
Plumbworld are cheap and well-known.



Personally, if you are going to fit an electric heater to it for the summer,
I would limit the power. I bought a beefy one (so it would heat up quicker).
It kettles noisily and wakes us up. A lower power one would have been
better.

If you haven't found a solution yet, a series mains rated power diode
will half the power but if you want it lower still a hidden phase
control dimmer should bring it down to what you want. My small towel
rail has a 60W element and I reduced that to 30W with a diode and that
is plenty for base level heat. I prefer to keep my bathroom heating
separate from the towel rails.
