Bathroom Butler Shower Caddies

Thirteen shower fittings from Bathroom Butler, and most of them are one product in different clothes. The 330 wall rack appears as the 4620, the 8520 and the 8220, which are the same fitting drawn in the styling of three different series. Around them sit a handful of corner and combination shelves. It is a small page: pick the shape that suits the shower, then match the finish to whatever is already on the wall.

The 330 Rack Does the Real Work

It is built to hold shampoo, shower gel and shaving cream off the floor of the shower. The base is a metal grid rather than a solid tray, so water drains through and air moves underneath instead of collecting under the bottles, and a bottle bar across the front stops anything sliding off when knocked. Construction is Grade 304 stainless steel on the brand's patented RIGID Loc mounting, which is designed to keep the fitting from working loose.

Measure before you order, because the number in the name is not the number on the wall. The 4620 is sold as a 330 but the fitting itself is 378mm wide, 130mm deep and 79mm high overall. In a shower where the rack has to land between a door frame and a corner, that difference is enough to matter. The 4620 and the 8520 each come in polished stainless, brushed stainless and matt black, so the choice between the 4600 Series and the 8500 Series is round lines against square ones, not capacity.

Corner Fittings for Showers With No Spare Wall

Where there is no clear run of tile for a 378mm rack, the corner is usually the only surface left. Lavish is the range that covers it here, with a shower corner shelf and a combined shower and soap shelf that saves you a second set of holes. The 8200 Series rack is the option if you want the straight rack in that styling.

What Is Not on This Page

Shower storage is split across three collections here, so it is worth knowing where to look. Soap racks, soap shelves and the deeper 9100 baskets, including the corner shower basket, are listed under soap dishes and baskets, and tempered glass shelves for a basin wall are under glass shelves.

Frequently Asked Questions

How wide is the 330 shower rack actually?

Wider than the name suggests. The 4620 is listed as a 330 but the fitting measures 378mm wide, 130mm deep and 79mm high overall. The number in the code refers to the rack itself rather than the full wall footprint, so if you are fitting between a shower door and a corner, work to 378mm and leave yourself clearance either side.

Will shampoo bottles slide off the rack?

There is a bottle bar across the front specifically to stop that. It catches bottles that get knocked while you are reaching past, which is the usual way things end up on the shower floor. Tall, top heavy pump bottles are still worth placing towards the back of the grid rather than balanced on the front edge.

Does water drain out of a stainless shower caddy?

Yes, and it is the main reason to buy stainless rather than a moulded tray. The base is a metal grid, so water runs straight through and air circulates underneath the bottles instead of a puddle forming and sitting there. That keeps the underside of bottles and the rack itself far easier to keep clean.

Should I choose a straight rack or a corner shelf?

Go by the tiling. A straight rack needs a clear run of roughly 378mm on one wall, which many small showers simply do not have once you allow for the door and the mixer. A corner shelf uses the angle between two walls, which is usually the last free surface left. Lavish covers the corner option on this page.

What is the difference between the 4620 and the 8520?

Styling, not function. Both are the 330 shower rack and both come in polished stainless steel, brushed stainless steel and matt black. The 4620 belongs to the 4600 Series and carries its round detailing, while the 8520 belongs to the 8500 Series and carries square detailing. Pick whichever matches the paper holder and towel rail you already have.
