Toilet roll holder: broken spindle

May 23, 2006 3 Replies

The plastic spindle on my toilet roll holder has fallen off and shattered to bits. Any ideas for buying or making up a replacement spindle? The main arms of the toilet roll holder are ceramic -- they are tiled to the walls and match the existing tiling. (1970s chic)

Buy a really cheap one. Retain the spindle. Ditch the rest.

The way I got mine when the same thing happened was to notice that similar had been built into the walls of the office loos...but someone had also installed separate ones, and the old ones were not in use.

Spring loaded spools are beyond the competence of most women and all cleaners it seems,. so start looking in pubs and the like.
