I have been googling for days with the measurements and not getting much.

1700 x 850

Available in the UK.

Only problem is it's arc-fronted, but don't know if that bothers you.

Or....

1680 x 850 but it's a whirlpool bath, so a bit pricey. (but nice to lounge around in )

The whirlpool one I find ugly:o. The other one, its not the arc that bothers me, in fact, I think its quite lovely. It's the bath panel issue. We're not tiling the front because split face tiles on the bath panel is a recipe for ouch...but I think wood panelling would look a bit naff on an arch. We don't do plastic

Edit...I like replying to Hamish because I feel no need to sugar coat. I can say ugly and naff and feel secure he'll know I don't mean him and he wouldn't care if I did.

The whirlpool one IS ugly! I'm sure its nice if you close your eyes when its on (though might be noisy?), but it's not a thing of beauty.

I have my uses....

But back on topic, I've googled the crap out of it tonight and you're right, there's almost nothing.

Best bet is probably to order one custom made.

These guys will make on to your size...

Not so sure about the 'arty' guff written underneath the pic, but I like it (the cable spoils the pic a bit, mind)

Yeah, I hate arty guff.

I have the same opinion about books and artists... "When he wrote/painted this, the words/brush strokes came from his inner turmoil and...."

Er ... no. He wrote/drew what he thought he wanted to say/see.

When it comes to lamps I always wonder how you/they know that something's fire safe.... using glue and the bits either of those could catch light.
