I'm planning to install a towel rail in the bathroom (heated by hot
water from the CH system). However, a lot of the towel rails that I've
seen in people's houses seem to corrode quite quickly i.e. within one
or two years. Can anyone recommend a make/type of rail that is less
prone to rusting?

thanks in advance

Got mine from TLC - stainless. Several years ago and still looks like new.

I hope you don't mean that it is still in the box waiting to be fitted!

Been there done that! LOL

Spouse bought a really nice chrome finish shower tidy. Cost around £20.
It stayed in the box for around 18 months until I created the new
bathroom. The shower tidy started going rusty within two weeks of use!
At first around the joints then in patches all over it. Too late to take
it back and complain that it was unfit for purpose. We've since bought a
cheap plastic one, but at least it doesn't rust!

No, it was installed the day I bought it - part of a total bathroom
refurkle. Which included a new boiler - so the CH was drained down anyway.
