Hi, anyone know what size towel radiator thingy I would need for a
bathroom measuring 2.64M length x 1.7M width x 2.6M height?

Can I use one as a straight swap for a central heating radiator?

It's impossible to say what the heating requirement is just from the
dimensions - so much depends on the construction and insulation
characteristics.

If you have a conventional radiator at the moment which is adequate - but
not much more - replacing it with a towel radiator of the same size will be
hopelessly inadequate - 'cos towel radiators have pretty pathetic heat
outputs due to their small surface areas. If you want a towel radiator,
install one *in addition* to a normal radiator rather than *instead of* it.
