Shower door handle

Hi

The shower door handle has come off and I need a replacement. I don't know the make of the shower and it seems a needle in the haystack trying to find the handle. The shower fits in a corner of the room and the doors are curved. The holes are approx 14cm apart and the bottom one screws with an allen key and the top one (the interior handle) is a round T shape.
Are door handles always the same length? Does anyone have any suggestions where I can get hold of this sort thing?

Many thanks for any suggestions :)

Matthew

    Take your existing handle to your local plumbers merchant. No - not a DIY shed - a proper plumbers merchant, preferably one that does bathroom supplies.

    I'd second going to a plumbers merchant - my toilet handle broke and neither B&Q nor Wickes had a clue, and didn't have the size I needed.

    Plumbers merchant knew without me telling him that it was an Ideal Standard toilet, and had what I needed for £1 cheaper than the B&Q ones (which didn't fit anyway).
