Love the first set of taps!

I’ve been speaking to several shower screen companies about ordering a screen like this (Majestic, Showerlab, Glasstrends all v good brand) and they all recommend using either a horizontal or a ceiling bracket. Otherwise the screen could end up a bit wobbly over time or could come away from its fixings if you were to fall against it. I didn’t want a ceiling bracket either but am going to have one as wouldn’t want to take these risks. I doubt it’s that the builders haven’t done it before, it’s actually easier for them not to install a ceiling bracket... I believe these companies all do a range of finishes eg Majestic’s “Monaco” screen can have the metal bits in Antique Gold which will fit in with your brass. Just re read and realised your shower screens are already ordered. What does your shower company say about brackets? Do they say it’s ok?

Hi lesannfull, if you buy any screen that will fold back against the wall, you need to ensure that neither your shower head or controls are on that wall as the glass won't fold back flat and will defeat the purpose. It would help to see a photo if you can.

Congrats on your new home! The cheapest option is to update the rail and add a new shower curtain- or a shower blind as previously suggested. All other options are costly. I know as I have just researched the same problem for a house I have just renovated! L shaped glass screens are not standard so are costly to purchase. I would suggest rather than spending the money on a costly alternative, spend the money on doing up the bathroom which will add value. The current bathroom has a basic suite and wall/ floor tiles. If you renovate the bathroom you will get your money back and probably a bit more depending on where the house is. Replace the suite with something new- basic white suite costs about £450 including taps and keep everything in the same place so cheaper to replumb. The basic wall tiles, if in good order, you could re-grout with a coloured grout. Grey is the obvious option but there are some great alternatives- red, blue or yellow for instance. Keep the shower curtain option and maybe move the shower fixing to the long wall and add a overhead shower head so the water goes down rather then outwards- if you know what I mean! You could lift the floor tiles and if laying on a flat surface, lay vinyl tiles which you can do yourself. B&Q have a lovely geometric design which I have used a couple of times and looks great- especially if you team with blue grout! Distract the eye of your potential viewers with great design and hopefully they will forget all about the shower- after all you bought it so others will too! Good luck! In the photo are the B&Q vinyl tiles I mentioned. On the walls are shower panels from Reco panels-not cheap but come in all sorts of designs and you can fit them yourself to the wall so avoiding the use of a tiler! Also quick so your bath won't be out of action for too long!
