    HI, have a look on this page, scroll down halfway.

    We have these in chrome, they have little labels for you to put on that says shampoo/conditioner/shower gel.
    We've also got a single one for liquid hand soap above the sink.
    The pictures are rubbish, they really do look very smart.
    I got ours from EBay, they're not cheap but you only have to buy once.......

    We have something very similar. No problems with them staying on the wall and keeps everything clean and tidy. No nasty drips either.

    I agree with the person that said the bridge over the bath shelfy thing. Assuming you have enough ledge on the wall side of the bath, you can move it up and down the bath to suit.

    True! I got a load of Dove handwash when it was a £1 :cool:

    And very MSE too...
    I've recently re-fitted 2 bathrooms and put tiled recesses in the shower. Was simple.

    I'm having a 3rd bathroom put in my new extension and will do the same there. Couldn't be going back to nasty racks now.

    These look great! Did you do them yourself?

    I just have a wall hung vanity unit at the end of the bath/shower, easy enough to lean over and grab whatever you need from it. Check em out here: wall hung vanity units

    Certainly did! Did the lot ourselves. The old shower had porous tiles, so when we took it out the plasterboard came off with the tiles. No hardship as we ran water and power to the other side of the wall to fit a shower in the bathroom next door too ;). We replaced it with wetboard, and it was simple to stick in some 2x1 noggins between the existing joists to make the recesses. I did the majority of the tiling too. :D

    The shower in the bathroom is over the bath (it's only used by guests really) and I have these shelves on the opposite wall for shower gels etc.

    I was looking for a shower screen for our bathroom and found this seller that sells screens with built in shelves.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/180-Shower-Bath-Screen-1000x1400mm-shelves-B55-/300435556766?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Baths_Screens&hash=item45f35ac99e

    Have a look around the ebay shop, as there were different sizes and different door options.
    Here I go again on my own....

    If anyone is looking for stainless steel accessories for a bathroom, be aware there are different types of stainless. If a magnet sticks to it, it will rust.
    I,m so stupid that I forgot the mnemonic
