Shower enclosure with sloping ceiling

Hello,

I have a shower enclosure I want to replace but it has a sloping ceiling. The height is too low for any pre-made shower enclosure that I can find. Bespoke ones seem to cost in the region of £1000 which is out of my price range. Is there any solution? Picture here:

    Build the side facing the camera in stud walling, so you have walls on three sides internally, and tile it. Buy a regular door for the other side. The usual height is 1950mm.

    You can choose almost exactly how big you want your shower tray to be, so can make it wider than it is now. It looks a bit poky :o

    Good suggestions to which I would add:

    Consider waterproof shower boards as an alternative to tiles as you get fewer problems with mouldy and dirty grout.

    Also consider additional lighting to compensate for losing that glass side. Depending on what is above that sloping ceiling, you could install a combined fan and light unit above the shower.
    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".
