About us
Globally Bathroom Butler is a pioneer in engineering and manufacturing premium bathroom accessories and heated towel rails for residential and commercial projects.
Established 40 years ago, this second generation family business has learned what the needs are of most bathrooms, which has led to all their products being carefully considered, tested, and designed with a purpose. At bathroom Butler, they believe that beauty lies in every detail.
Driven by innovation and engineering excellence.
Bathroom Butler started as a small family business in South Africa, back then it wasn’t called Bathroom Butler, Keith Maclaren-Taylor started the manufacturing business in the 70s out of his garage, where he first started making gym equipment and where the row master was invented.
Andrew, Angela and Craig all grew up watching their father Keith hard at work and during school holidays they would get involved and help him, learning the ropes of the business from a young age and building a business from the ground up. Keith instilled the importance of work ethic in his children early on and that it pays off.
After completing their various studies, all the children began work for the family business, starting from the bottom and then becoming leaders of their own. In 2005 they started and launched Bathroom Butler to the market. Today Bathroom Butler is known as one of the leading manufacturers of bathroom accessories and heated towels racks.
Driven by innovation and engineering excellence, the focus is on design and quality. One of Bathroom Butler’s innovations is the patented RIGID Loc Mounting System for bathroom accessories, that was designed with the consumer in mind to eliminate the problem of bathroom accessories constantly coming loose. Bathroom Butler has also pioneered advanced DET Technology for their heated towel racks and were among the first brands to start using GRADE 304 Stainless Steel for their products instead of Chrome.

Cleaning & Care
Heated Towel Rails
To keep your product in pristine condition it is important to clean regularly. Firstly, switch OFF your heated towel rail and allow it to cool down. Secondly, wipe it down with a warm damp cloth then buff it dry with a clean dry cloth.If you choose to use a specialized cleaning product such as a stainless steel cleaner, make sure it is Chlorine-free; or in the case of a stainless steel polish make sure it is both Chlorine and abrasive free. When cleaning the wall or tiles around your HTR make sure the cleaning products are Chlorine-free as this could cause permanent damage to the surface of your stainless steel HTR. Do not use any acid based cleaning products or tile grout cleaner any where near your HTR as these products will cause permanent damage to the surface of your stainless steel HTR.
Cleaning Colour Finishes: Use only a warm damp microfibre cloth then wipe dry with a microfibre cloth. Do not use any household or industrial detergents and do not sue any abrasive cleaning materials. As colour finishes are created by coating the product, it is possible to damage the surface by chipping or scratching it which is not covered by the warranty – do not bump or scratch with other objects.
