Shower attachment for bath with square plugs?

giffen · 18 November 2011 at 11:59AM

Our shower is knackered so we need to use the bath, we bought a cheap shower attachment hose but it won't go on our square bath taps - does anyone know if you can get attachments that fit these kind of taps? Or have any suggestions on what to do? OH isn't keen on having baths...

Thanks!

Cheaper and easier to switch the taps to a mixer thungummywotsit, TBH.

Can't change taps unfortunately as we're in rented accommodation. If only the landlord would fix the shower!

We've got a similar problem (but round taps) and we're using some hose clips to grip the shower attachment to the taps - I think that's what they're called, they're the little metal bands that you can tighten with a screwdriver, you put them round washing machine hoses. It's a semi-permanent solution in that you can't take them off and on so it makes it hard to fill the bath, but it's meant that we can have a reasonable shower. If you can find an attachment that fits on the square taps, this might help.

Thanks for the suggestion (jubilee clips?) - it's a good idea but like you said, I think our problem will be finding an attachment big enough to actually get onto the taps though- I've looked in a few places and they all seem to be the same size. Currently thinking of trying a portable battery operated camping shower - got to be better than nothing?!
