long (2m+?) shower hose / bath attachments

main shower unit just gone kaput, so looking for a temp replacement, to use off the bath taps..
most I've seen are only 1.5m long, which is too short for me to have a stand up shower (and get my head wet, anyway!) .
any idea who may make/stock longer hoses? ideally chrome/metal, as the plastic ones I've seen look naff and likely to break if you cough on them.
Thank you

I think you may struggle as they are mostly designed to wash your hair while you are in the bath as opposed to an alternative for a shower. I can't see you getting enough pressure with one to actually have a shower?
Best I can see is 1.8 metre long http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0082CCRP4/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=569136327&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B007ZNKDKC&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0S5HWHP0E0KEA3DEM14FI’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Competitions Time, Shopping & Freebies boards, Employment, Jobseeking & Training boards If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

We got a 1.75m one from Robert Dyas http://www.robertdyas.co.uk/croydex-1-75m-st-steel-shwr-ho
They also do a stretch one that should just go to 2m http://www.robertdyas.co.uk/croydex-strtch-shwr-hose-1-5-20 -

I have combi boiler, pressure varies from1 t o1.5 bar - would that be enough? It is on same floor as the bath room, I am 6 feet tall..breathe in, breathe out- You're alive! Everything else is a bonus, right? RIGHT??0 -

I would imagine that is enough to be fair, I think the minimum is 0.7 bar usually although I am not a plumber
