Best towel bars: what to look for before you buy
A buying checklist for towel bars, with what eBay buyers actually paid. We do not stock this type, so the advice is not steering you to our own product.
Measure the mounting distance and the drill holes, then choose a metal that does not rust in a steamy room. The fixings matter more than the finish.
On 2026-11-01, eBay buyers paid a median of $38.04 for towel bars (search "towel bar"), across 5,100 sold listings. It is a market read, not a quote. Jump to the search shortcuts or read the 7 checks first.

What to look for: 7 checks
These are the points that separate a good towel bars from a poor one, in the order they usually matter.
- Bar length45 cm suits a hand towel, 60 cm a bath towel and 75 cm or more a double-fold bath sheet. Check the full length, not just the bar.
- Mounting methodscrew-in wall brackets carry weight. Adhesive or suction versions suit rental homes but only hold a light towel.
- Wall anchors and stud positionsdrywall plugs hold about a kilo. Screwing into a stud or using heavy-duty anchors holds a wet bath towel.
- Metal and finishstainless steel (304 or 316 grade) or solid brass resists rust. Plated zinc pits in steamy bathrooms.
- Bar diameter and clearancea bar around 2 cm thick with 7 cm of space behind it lets towels dry rather than press against the wall.
- Bracket designa bar that sits in its brackets with a hidden set screw stays put. A bar that just rests in the bracket gets knocked out.
- Single or doublea double bar holds two towels at once but projects further from the wall.
The mistake to avoid
- Hollow bars in thin metal bend under a wet towel. Look for solid or thick-walled tube and brackets with at least two screws each.

On 2026-11-01, eBay buyers paid a median of $38.04 for towel bars (search "towel bar"), across 5,100 sold listings. That is real money changing hands on eBay, which makes it a useful anchor when you compare asking prices elsewhere.
How to read it: the count is the sold-result total eBay shows for a search of sold and completed listings, and the median is from the first page of prices (about 60 listings, new and used mixed). It is not an Amazon price, it ignores shipping and condition, and it does not say what a given product is worth. A different spec will sit well above or below it.

Questions
Can I fit one without drilling?
Adhesive versions work on smooth tile for a light hand towel. For wet bath towels, screw into the wall.
What height should it go at?
About 120 to 150 cm from the floor for a bath towel, and a little lower for a child. Mark it with tape before drilling.
