Walk In Shower Units

vansboy

Hi All!

Been looking at these & seems there's a HUGE choice!

Which did you choose, or like the look of? This seems plain & simple - not too many hinges & moving bits to keep clean, or break off!

This one will be inset, to the wall, so no need for the side panel.

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks in advance!

We meet again :rotfl:

I just put in exactly that shower! It looks absolutely MINT!

We were going to inset it but it worked out cheaper just to leave it open.

TY Doozergirl!

We've been doing the rounds today - kitchens & bathrooms - know EVERY model number form EVERY DIY shed, in these 2 departments!

Well nearly, anyway!!

PS What was your 5000 th post about - not the row above, about Tender bidding I hope!!

Doozergirl

Yeah, I looked back. It was me rowing!

5001 was me whinging for the third time about someone being rude.

Pure Class, me

I'll test you on model numbers later :rotfl:

I have just bought this hydrolux one through auction on ebay. I bid approx £250 and didn't win it (it went for £320 in the end) but they did me a second chance offer to buy it for my max bid price so it was a bit of a bargain in the end, especially as they have it buy it now for £400 on ebay. If I hadn't have won I'd have bought it from this website (I've bought it from these people anyway as they sell through ebay).
If I was going to have exactly the enclosure I wanted, I'd have picked one like the one you mention above with straight panels but as I've decided I don't want to stay in this house forever my dream bathroom can wait (although I had to have a slimline tray, some things I wouldn't compromise on!). But I prefer the one you highlight above to mine, much sleaker.

I fitted this one from Homebase online.

Base: http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=20001&partNumber=792426

Screen: http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=20001&partNumber=789962

Seems to be very well made. Looks great .

Its gone up a bit as I paid £399 for the lot. They have now split it into 2 packages and adds up to nearly £500. May be worth watching out for a sale.

Err my 2p worth..............................
Don't!

We installed one of these because they looked rather snazzy - but unless you have a totally piddly shower, you will get leaks under the glass, and anything more than a dribble sprays around the curved glass and onto your bathroom floor. Chances are also that the shower tray is fibreglass and flexes when you step on it, with accompanying sealing probs.

I have cured some of this by ugly silicone but am really hoping that it completely fails, when I will rip it out and replace it with a completely enclosed cubicle.

You have been warned.

We've just had one installed which we bought from ebay, v. pleased with it and even our very particular installer commented on how good it was.

Not sure if i can post the link to their shop, but I'm sure someone will remove it if not

I really like this one

A bit hard to see from the picture, but the door goes to 2 positions. You can close it so you are in a cubicle and the shelves are outside the cubicle, then you can open the door to the next position which makes the cubicle include the glass shelf area.

Great cos your shower things are to hand, but don't get repeatedly soaked by the shower.

I have this one it's fab!(since April) After shopping around it's by far the best made, nicest looking and value for money. It's as solid as a rock and if I was doing my bathroom again I would choose this one every time.
Also their sale started last weekend so maybe cheaper.
To add, the base you stand on is solid not fibreglass, plastic etc, its ground stone or something.We didn't have the inset bit either, its so massive you don't really need it. It looks really swish and contemporary.
