Product Description

This white replacement towel bar measures 24″ long with spring ends is 13/16″ square white plastic. Press the spring ends, center in the existing towel bar post openings and release. The complete step by step instructions in the Product Documents show the installation and how to measure the bar and to cut it to your specific length (fine tooth saw required). In addition, the following video shows how easy it is to install your spring ends replacement towel bar.

The replacement towel bar is the, often copied, original Re-Place-A-Bar. Also available in Clear and Black and 36″ long.

Replacement Towel Bar Installation Instructions

Installation requires sitting one spring end in the towel bar bracket, depressing the opposite spring end with a finger, positioning it in front of the opposite towel bar bracket and then releasing the spring end.
This process is for replacing a towel bar where the ceramic or porcelain posts or holders cannot be removed from the wall.

To start if your bar is still in place you can use a hacksaw to cut the bar to remove it. Next you will need to take a tape measure and measure between your posts from inside to inside. Once you have that measurement you will need to order the Next size up replacement bar.
If its 12” or less, you will order an 18” bar. If it is over 12” but fewer than 24” you will need a 24” bar. If it is over 24” but less than 36” you will need to order a 36” bar.
You will notice that the ends have a spring in them. You will want to remove one spring end. Next place the side with the spring still in it into one of the holders then compress the spring and take a pencil and make a mark just on the bar just inside of the opposite holder.
Now that we have a mark where we need to cut it we can take a hacksaw and cut it. Once it is cut to our desired length we will reinstall the spring end . With both spring ends installed we can now install the new bar. Place one end into one of the ceramic posts and push the bar that way to compress the spring. Next take your finger and depress the spring on the opposite side and then slide it into the opposite ceramic post letting the spring out.
With the bar now in both ceramic posts move the bar back and forth within the posts to let the bar center itself. You will need to do this so that way it is not relying on the spring ends to hold the weight of whatever you place on the bar. With the bar centered that’s it you have just installed a replacement towel bar for a towel bar that uses ceramic posts or holders.

ProSeries-Bathroom-Accessory-Installation
How to Install Ceramic Bathroom Accessories

It is important to read the instructions on How to Install Ceramic Bathroom Accessories before starting your project.

(Things You Will Need • Drill with a carbide tip • Cooling oil • Masking tape • Chisel • Hammer • Margin trowel • Tile adhesive)

The ProSeries is designed to fit in a space between ceramic tiles. When installing the field tiles, a piece or pieces of tile are left out so the slight recess in the back of the accessory makes contact with the wall. A typical tub soap dish with a mounting surface area of approximately 4” x 6” requires the removal of 1 ½ – 4” x 4” tiles. We recommend un-sanded thin set mortar mortar. Mix the un-sanded thin set mortar as directed on the package and apply it evenly to the back of the accessory, it is important that the entire gap between the accessory and wall is evenly filled with un-sanded thin set mortar mortar. Expect some mortar to squeeze out the sides. This can easily be wiped off. Place the piece in the opening and apply some pressure with a slight wiggling motion. Some un-sanded thin set mortar will squeeze out, simply clean around the edge. Tape the accessory to the wall with duct tape. After the un-sanded thin set mortar dries completely, approximately 24 hours, caulk the edges with a good quality bath and tile caulk.

Step by Step Instructions: Install Ceramic Bathroom Accessories

Step 1

Hold the ceramic shower shelf, ceramic soap dish or ceramic towel bar against the wall to determine the location you want to install it. If you are just installing the tiles in the shower, leave this area open and continue installing the tiles around it and skip steps 2, 3 and 4.

Step 2

Place masking tape over any tiles that will need to be removed. The masking tape will help the drill bit bite into the glaze on the tiles without slipping.

Step 3

Dip the end of the drill bit into a bottle of cooling oil and place the bit against the tape on the tile. Make four or five holes into a tile to create the shape of a X. Drill only through the tile, not through the underlayment. Watch the drill carefully as you work, if it begins to smoke or turn red, dip the bit back into the cooling oil. Repeat for the remaining tiles to be removed.

Step 4

Remove the masking tape from the tile. Position a chisel at a 45 degree angle on one of the holes in the tile. Hit the chisel with a hammer to break up the tile into several pieces. Continue chiseling out the tiles all the adhesive behind them have been removed.

Step 5

Cover the back of the accessory with a layer of un-sanded thin set mortar using a trowel. It is important to fill the entire gap between the accessory and the wall with the un-sanded thin set mortar mortar. Press the accessory into the opening between the tiles. Use long strips of masking tape to help hold the shelf in place while the un-sanded thin set mortar is drying. Let the un-sanded thin set mortar cure for 24 hours.

Step 6

Take a piece of one of the tiles you removed with you to the store to purchase additional tiles if you need to fill in extra space around the accessory. This will be necessary if the accessory only needed a partial tile removed. For example corner shelves require less then a full tile. Removing a partial tile will likely crack the remaining half, remove the entire tile and replace half.

Step 7

Cut the tiles to fit in the space next to the accessory on a tile wet saw for the cleanest cut or a standard tile cutter. Remember to leave a space for a grout joint around each tile.

Step 8

Apply a layer of adhesive to the back of the tile or tiles and press them into place around the accessory. Allow the un-sanded thin set mortar to dry for 24 hours. 9 Grout the replacement tiles if necessary by spreading grout into their joints with a grout float. Wipe away any excess grout with a damp sponge and let the grout dry for 24 hours. 10 Squeeze a line of caulk around the perimeter of the accessory to seal its edges. Smooth out the caulk with a wet index finger. Allow the caulk to dry for 24 hours. (Periodically inspect the caulk around the accessory to be sure it remains water-tight.

    I previously broke my towel bar and couldn’t find a 13/16″ bar, so I replaced it with a thinner one. Well, I broke it as well. This time I found the Lenape 11/16″ It fits well and is stronger.
    I did buy 2 in anticipation of my breaking this one as well, but I’ll have to try harder to do so.

    Perfect fit if you cut it correctly! Had to order a second since I measured wrong. Don’t measure from the outside edges of the ceramic holders or the bar will hang from the spring ends. Add extra length so the bar is inside the holders.

    They were exactly what I needed. So easy to install. I called at the last minute to change from white to clear and I got a REAL VOICE who physically made the change while I was still on the phone. Great people to do business with.

    Very pleased with the result. Bar color is a close match to the vintage ceramic post color. Did need to carefully trim the bar to fit properly.
