look for in a replacement to ensure that doesn't go the same way? I'm
sure price will be a factor, but I can't believe it's a case of just
buying a really really expensive one in the hope it will be fine.

Had a similar experience with an unbranded shower rail from Screwfix
which quickly rusted away; I replaced it with an ebayed Mira one because
I knew they were reliable, and sure enough it has been.

*Tried moving everything except the shower gel to the bathroom
window-sill the other day, but got shouted at.

Spouse bought a chrome shower tidy in anticipation of me doing a new
bathroom. It was over a year before the bathroom was finished and the
shower tidy was out of warranty before it was even used. It went rusty
in a month, starting at the joints. It cost over £20 and ended up in the
dustbin after two months of use. We've now got a white plastic one which
doesn't look bad and at least it doesn't rust!
