    Oh just to say, having massive fun in my life.

    But I do find you quite unbalanced. Just my view so feel to disagree.

    Tozer i wouldnt worry about it you DO help out quite a few peeps here.The OP clearly is a bit mad.

    Cheers mate. That was the intent. Sometimes you do wonder if it is all a bit pointless.

    I'm pleased you read all of the posts and made your own mind up. I did think I was helping the OP (funny thing is, people pay £275 per hour for the same legal advice) but sometimes there is no helping people.

    I'm affraid if i had lost a limb i wouldn't be talking on here now.... Yes i am after some sort of compensation i have a bath scratched to bits lost 3 towels and a dressing gown and clothes which i was wearing before which were on the floor covered in glass there was no way i was keeping them so does this answer your question oh and my husband trainers to they they are all still bagged up in the garden and the guy from the shop has seen them with satisfactory whats everyones problem with getting what you deserve from a company not doing its proper job. :T

    I used to work for Bathstore until fairly recently, so I know about this recall. The fact is, there is only a risk of the door coming off the hinge if it hasn't been installed according to the instructions. If anyone should be compensating you, it should be the person who fitted it. In my time there we had very few genuinely faulty items. Almost all the problems we had were caused by incorrect fitting. Or RTFM faults as we called them. For those who don't know RTFM = Read The F***ing Manual

    Oh jeez, I read this whole thread and my head is hurting.

    I'm sure we can agree that Ellabells has been traumatised beyond all reason by this situation to the point of forgetting basic grammar, spelling and manners.

    I propose we all club together to supply him/her/it with the funds to purchase a dictionary and some English language classes so that he/she/it can re-intergrate with the community in a meaningful fashion.

    I had a similar thing a few nights ago..I was using my Kenwood Blender which had boiling hot soup in it...As I walked to the sink, the handle fell off and the blender jug fell on the floor, splashing hot liquid everywhere..walls, ceiling, curtains....and all over my legs...The first thought that went through my mind was Oh My God..the baby is safe and well in his cot upstairs, what if he was old enough to walk or crawl he might have got hurt, what if my little one had been in the kitchen he might have got hurt, what if it hadnt happened late at night he might have got hurt, what if the dogs had been in the kitchen, what if my elderly nan had come to visit and by some stroke of coincidence had been in the kitchen 3 hrs after she normally went to bed because she was desperate for some home made soup....the list went on...

    So I immediately cleaned up the kitchen, thanked my lucky stars that it was only a waste of cleaning fluid and hot soup,changed my clothes, went on the internet to find a replacement jug and put it down to experience.

    Compensation? Nope, i'm leaving that game to the soldiers who come home from Iraq missing limbs and other far more important causes......

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: One word EXCELLENT!

    OP i would understand if you where a elderly person, slipped on soap and then fell on the little pieces of glass but you only got minor cuts, just think about the stories that have happened, my nan does not come on MSE so i dont think many old people do :rotfl: correct me if i am wrong!

    Ok, It was cuts and that's it. If i was in your situation, i maybe wouldn't of even contacted the company! I would of just bought a new one, thats just me i hardly wing (Not that you are) but just forget it, I am pretty sure your children are smart enough to know not to step on glass :rotfl:

    For those of you who have difficulty reading Ellabells was simply asking "should she seek compensation". Obviously friends and family may have told her to claim compensation but she did come on MSE for other thoughts and opintions. Perhaps someone on here had been through similar and could advise accordingly. Instead a lot of you have read the post and chose bits out of it to start an argument of some sort. If you don't have constructive advice or anything USEFUL to add then why bother? It's surely a waste of your time. A question was asked and an answer was wanted and that's it!

    Thank heavens the shower door did not fall ontop of the children as they were in the bath just before Ellabells. What would you be saying to Ella if something terrible had happened to her children? Glass is a killer and luckily for her none of her veins were sliced open! It seems evident that some of you haven't got children or experienced a terrible accident such as this.

    Ella, document everything that happened, the time date, what was destroyed, everytime you phone the company and if you feel you are getting pushed around record what they say, write them a letter and enclose a list of expenses. Of course the new shower door should be replaced and fitted for free. Give them some time to respond but if you don't get anything back or they are not fothcoming with replacemnts etc do seek advice from the CAB or other regulatory body.

    Now, i just want to ask ella one thing WHY GET A BATH LIKE THAT? If you had kids? If you are so bothered didn't you look at the design? Think of the stories that are now magically going through your head now?

    To be fair, I only added an 'r' to integrate :P. At least I didn't completely change the meaning of my post by using entirely incorrect words. Jebus only knows what EB was trying to say. I've heard more sense from my guinea pig.
