“Why is my bathroom ALWAYS cold?”
Still asking that in 2025? Time for a change!
A cold bathroom can make mornings miserable, even when the rest of your home is warm and cosy. But don’t worry—there are smart, energy-efficient heating solutions that will keep your bathroom toasty without skyrocketing your energy bills.
In this guide, we’ll share five expert bathroom heating tips to transform your chilly bathroom into a warm, inviting space—so you can start your day on the right foot.
Let’s start with a bathroom heating essential: heated towel rails. They’re no longer just about keeping your towels fluffy—they double up as efficient room heaters. Modern electric heated towel rails use advanced heating elements that distribute warmth evenly, ensuring your entire bathroom benefits. In 2025, the latest models integrate with smart home heating systems, allowing you to control them via smartphone apps. Some even feature humidity sensors that adjust their heat output automatically, helping prevent dampness and mould growth.
If you love the idea of stepping out of the shower onto a warm floor, underfloor heating is the ultimate comfort upgrade.
In 2025, underfloor heating is more accessible and energy-efficient than ever before, with options to suit every budget. You can choose from:
Electric underfloor heating
Water-based (hydronic) underfloor heating
. No more chilly morning shocks—just warmth from the ground up!
Not every bathroom heating solution requires an electrical upgrade—sometimes, the simplest changes make a big difference.
Hard bathroom floors are notorious for losing heat, with up to 10% of household heat escaping through flooring. Adding thick rugs or bath mats provides an extra layer of insulation, trapping warmth and keeping your feet comfortable.
Plus, using plush towels and bathrobes can also help retain heat, making your bathroom feel cosier for longer. So, if you’re looking for an easy, affordable way to boost your bathroom’s warmth, this is a no-brainer.
No matter how powerful your bathroom radiator or heating system is, it won’t be effective if heat is constantly escaping.
Common draught sources in bathrooms:
Gaps around windows
Gaps under doors
Keyholes or poorly sealed vents
Even a small bathroom window draft can cause significant heat loss. Investing in draught excluders or thermal blinds can make a noticeable difference. Keeping your bathroom door shut while heating the room also helps trap warmth inside.
Pro tip: If you feel a cold breeze near your bathroom windows, it’s time to check the seals!
