Thermostatic just means it's not a straight on/off heating element but it has a thermostat - i.e. measures temp and switches on/off if above / below target.
Think you put water in with some stuff in it

You will need an element that goes in the inlet at the bottom. It will have to have a fused spur switch in a suitable zone or outside the bathroom.
Check with a spark though a pull switch may be suffice -
I got one of these year...

It was prefilled and includes the element which is supplied separately. Perfectly straightforward to remove one of the bottom caps and install it on either side.

@rogan
im trying to buy an electric towel heater for a bathroom but im confused on some of the language.
it cannot be plumbed in it has to be mount and power only (no central heating)
something like this: https://www.traderadiators.com/towelrads-independent-straight-electric-thermostatic-ladder-radiator-white-1200mm-x-600mm seems to be what i want.. but im doubting myself on ‘thermostatic’ which my brain is telling me it might be both plumbed in and have a heating element?
Im also guessing you dont just want to … fill it with tap water? very confused
