Timer for heated towel rail

We have a heated towel rail in our bathroom. It is switched on from the bedroom. The switch looks like a light switch. There is a short length of wire that runs through the bedroom wall to the heated towel rail. Is it is possible to have the switch changed to incorporate a timer as it takes an hour to get hot. I believe it uses 500w of electricity.

    Yes,You can swap the isolation switch for a timer or fit one next to it.It is a very good idea should cost in the region of £60/£80 with timer.
