Shower Door Problems

In a nutshell we have an ensuite bathroom to the main bedroom complete with shower enclosure. The shower enclosure does not have side panels but simply tray, door and necessary fittings. The tile to tile width of the enclosure is 760mm however with the fittings the door itself is no more than 600mm.
The central hinges(top and bottom) of the bi fold door(ie the hinges that connect the left door from right) are broken. Equally the fittings that connect the door to the frame are both broken. (dont ask!).

Obviously im keen to keep costs to a minimum but im not sure of my next step. Is it possible to buy replacement parts and just fix everything up or do i need to go ahead and buy a replacement door? And if its the latter what size door am i looking at?

DIY not my strong point so appreciate any help. Many thanks.

  • 800mm door that goes down to 760mm, or a 760mm door that will fit a 760mm width
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    It's highly unlikely that you will get parts for it. Very expensive shower doors eg Matki, are serviceable, but most aren't. It's more than likely that you will need to replace the whole thing.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
