Bathroom Butler 9100 Series

The 9100 Series is the odd one out among Bathroom Butler's numbered ranges, and it helps to know that before you shop it. It is not a matching wall suite of rails, hooks and paper holders. It is a short list of standalone pieces built around toilet brush holders and shower baskets, which Bathroom Butler describe as drawing on industrial design with a minimalistic approach and a compact size. Twelve lines are active here, covering eight item codes.

What is actually in the range

Half of it is toilet brush holders. 9135 is the wall mounted brush and holder at 250mm, 9136 is the same idea in a closed holder that stands on the floor, and 9108 is the Toilet Butler Duo. That is six of the twelve products, which tells you where this series earns its keep.

The rest splits three ways. 9115, 9122 and 9133 are shower and soap baskets, including a corner basket and a combined shower and soap basket, so they suit a shower with no built in niche. 9155 is a 300mm grab bar. 9185 is a 900mm double towel stand rather than a wall rail, which is the answer when there is no wall to drill or the towels need to move.

The numbering does not follow the other series

On the 4600, 8200 and 8500 ranges the last two digits identify the item, so a 4670 and an 8570 are both 430mm single rails. The 9100 does not work that way. Its codes are their own list, and 9185 is a floor standing towel stand rather than the 800mm wall rail that an 85 ending means elsewhere. Read 9100 numbers as item codes on their own terms and do not cross reference them.

Where it fits

Treat the 9100 as pieces you add rather than a set you specify. A bathroom done in 4600 or 8500 still needs a shower basket and a brush holder, and these are made in the same Grade 304 stainless steel and the same finish family, so they sit in without a clash. Most of the range here is polished stainless steel, with matt black on both brush holders, brushed on the closed holder and one brushed champagne gold version of it. Browse the full Bathroom Butler range to match a finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the Bathroom Butler 9100 Series?

Twelve lines across eight item codes. Six are toilet brush holders: 9135 wall mounted, 9136 freestanding with a closed holder, and 9108, the Toilet Butler Duo. Three are shower and soap baskets, 9115, 9122 and 9133. The last two are 9155, a 300mm grab bar, and 9185, a 900mm double towel stand that stands on the floor.

Do the 9100 part numbers work like the 4600 and 8500 codes?

No. On the 4600, 8200 and 8500 ranges the last two digits identify the item, so a 4670 and an 8570 are both 430mm single rails. The 9100 codes do not map onto that list. 9185, for instance, is a freestanding towel stand and not the 800mm wall rail an 85 ending means in the other series. Read them as their own codes.

Is the 9100 Series a full bathroom accessory set?

It is not, and it is not meant to be. There are no towel rails for the wall, no robe hooks, no towel ring and no glass shelf in this series. It is a set of standalone pieces you add to a bathroom that has been specified from one of the larger ranges, or buy on their own when you only need a brush holder or a shower basket.

What finishes does the 9100 Series come in?

Polished stainless steel covers most of the range and is the only finish on the baskets, the grab bar and the towel stand. The two brush holders are wider: 9135 comes in polished and matt black, and 9136 comes in polished, brushed, matt black and a brushed champagne gold version. All of it is Grade 304 stainless steel underneath the finish.

What is the difference between the 9135 and 9136 toilet brush holders?

How they are held up, and whether the brush is hidden. 9135 fixes to the wall, which keeps the floor clear for cleaning and suits a small toilet room. 9136 stands on the floor and uses a closed holder, so the brush head is out of sight and the unit can be moved. Both are 250mm. Choose 9135 if the wall allows it and 9136 if you would rather not drill.
