Bathroom Butler 4600 Series

The 4600 Series is Bathroom Butler's round profile accessory range and the largest of the numbered series stocked here, with 71 lines active. It covers paper holders, robe hooks, towel rings, single and double towel rails, a glass shelf, a shower rack, a soap rack, a tumbler holder, a brush holder and a towel shelf. Bathroom Butler describe it as a classic round design. Everything is turned from the same round section, so the rail, the hook stem and the paper holder arm read as one family on the wall.

How to read a 4600 part number

The four digit code in every title is doing real work: the first two digits are the series and the last two are the item, and that pair means the same thing in the 8200 and 8500 ranges. 4601 is a type 1 paper holder and 4607 its left hand version, 4602 is type 2, 4603 type 2 with a flap and 4604 holds a second roll. 4610 and 4611 are the single and double robe hooks, 4620 the shower rack, 4630 the soap rack, 4638 the toilet brush and holder and 4640 the towel ring.

Rail codes carry the length too. 4670, 4672, 4675 and 4678 are singles at 430mm, 650mm, 800mm and 1100mm, and 4682, 4685 and 4688 are the doubles at 650mm, 800mm and 1100mm. 4693 is the 650mm towel shelf with a hanging bar beneath it.

Sizes and finishes

Rail length is worth slowing down on. A 430mm single takes a hand towel by a basin, 650mm is the usual bath towel length, 800mm suits a bath sheet hung flat, and 1100mm is for a shared bathroom. Finishes are polished stainless steel, brushed stainless steel, matt black and brushed champagne gold, though champagne gold covers fewer items than the other three.

Building a matched set

Because the numbering stays consistent you can specify a whole bathroom from one series and know the profiles agree. Pick the rail length first, then fill in the paper holder, hook, ring and brush holder. Grade 304 stainless steel throughout. Compare it with the square edged 8500 Series, or shop by item through paper holders and towel rails in the wider Bathroom Butler range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the numbers in the Bathroom Butler 4600 range mean?

The first two digits are the series and the last two are the item. 4601 is a type 1 paper holder, 4604 holds a second roll, 4610 and 4611 are the single and double robe hooks, 4630 is the soap rack, 4638 the toilet brush and holder and 4640 the towel ring. Rails carry their length in the code: 4670, 4672, 4675 and 4678 are singles at 430mm, 650mm, 800mm and 1100mm.

What is the difference between the 4600 and 8500 Series?

Profile, mainly. The 4600 is a classic round design and the 8500 is a square design with slightly rounded edges. The item map behind them is close to identical, so a 4670 and an 8570 are both 430mm single rails and a 4638 and an 8538 are both toilet brush holders. Choose on how the shape sits with your tapware, not on what the range covers.

What finishes does the Bathroom Butler 4600 Series come in?

Four are stocked here: polished stainless steel, brushed stainless steel, matt black and brushed champagne gold. Polished and brushed run right across the range, matt black covers most of the popular items, and champagne gold is limited to a shorter list that includes the robe hooks, the 430mm single rail, the towel ring, the shower rack and the toilet brush holder.

What length towel rail should I choose?

430mm is a hand towel rail for beside a basin. 650mm is the standard bath towel length and the one most bathrooms need. 800mm lets a bath sheet hang flat instead of folded, which dries it faster. 1100mm suits a shared bathroom or a wall with the space for it. Double rails start at 650mm because the second bar adds capacity, not width.

Can I mix 4600 accessories with another Bathroom Butler series?

You can, and it is common when one item is out of stock in a finish. The finishes are shared across the numbered series, so a polished 4600 rail and a polished 8500 paper holder sit together without a colour mismatch. The profiles differ though: round against square with softened edges. Mixing reads best when the two items are not next to each other on the same wall.
