You should be able to replace one of the lockshields with a TRV. Drayton do a reasonable looking chrome one. Check the dimensions before buying to ensure it will fit. Also ensure that the always-on towel rail isn't being used as part of a bypass loop. Will need to fit an automatic bypass valve if this is the case.

Also, check the ventillation of the bathroom. Without the constant heat from the towel rail you may get a lot of condensation / mould.
