Shower Curtain rail for Corner Bath.. Please help.
I've been looking around for a shower curtain for my corner bath, but the
only one I have found was £300.. Could somebody please recommend me a nice (but a bit cheaper) curtain which is shaped in such a way that I can use most of my corner bath area. Thanks, Rune |

How about a folding screen like: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...64360&id=18106 When unfolded and in use, it doesn't need to be in a straight line, it would follow the front contour of your bath. A lot neater than a shower curtain IMO as you don't need a rail. David |

Thank you for your feedback. I'll have a look at the screens you suggest.
I have found the one I think might be for me. http://www.showerdrape.co.uk/productList.asp?c=12 (Corner Rail, at the buttom of the screen).. One piece and nicely shaped. In fact, it looks identical to the one I saw that retailed at £300.. This one however is £50.. Cheers.b |

Hang the curtain from this with say, brass chain. Very robust, adjustable, 20 year life! Regards Capitol |

I've not tried this but I would have a go if I had to do it. The £30 screwfix shower rail kit contains the pieces to make a number of different types of shower rail. (part no 15896). Usually you cut the straight lengths to make up what is required. The bends are not so tight that you could not cut them in their middles thus giving you the 45 degree parts you need to make up the quarter-of-an-octagon shape you will require. Indeed you will have two corner pieces to have a go with and you might only need to halve one of them. You will need to 'persuade' the alignment pegs to go into the round sections. This kit includes one vertical support part. HTH Let me know if it works. -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.

Use some copper tube (15 or 22mm) and hire a pipe bender. Bend the
tube to the same contour as the bath. Get it chromed and mount. |
