William HopkinsBX400CSK Robin Replacement Roller for Toilet Roll Holder, Chrome

Like so many other reviewers, I had struggled for ages to find a replacement spindle to fit an aging 13cm toilet roll holder which required a 5mm conical end-pit. Unobtainable. This item appeared, and is perfect. It's as sturdy as its long-serving broken predecessor and looks very good. Of course it's a cheap bit of silvered plastic with a spring inside, but provided you treat it with a little respect it does exactly what is required.

I searched high and low for a replacement spindle that would fit my cast metal loo roll holder after my builders inadvertently binned the old one, not realising that I wanted to reuse it. I ordered and returned two spindles that stated that the end bits where they go into the small locating holes in the holder were less than 5mm - all lies! Neither could be shaved down either, as the end pieces were hollow (like s straw) and would have become two weak. This one has quite stubby but pointy ends and a good spring tension which works well. Minus one point as it has a tendency to disassemble itself (the strong spring springs the two halves apart) when changing the loo roll but this is a minor annoyance and easily fixed.

Item came really fast, next day to be precise. Really pleased with the item good quality at a fair price.

Thought it was a standard fit measured to make sure but the ends were too big to fit in otherwise good replacement

Instant make over for bog roll holder. Simple, cheap and effective.

spring comes off when it's delivered. can't hold it to the place. I've to source a traditional white plastic one now
