OK chaps. I have what claims to be a stainless twin corner caddy on
order from Amazon. £20.00 so we will see!

Equivalent from John Lewis can be £80.00!


When I did my bathrooms a couple of years back, I had to look long and
hard to find anything decent made from stainless. In the end they were
both from China via Amazon, and to be fair pretty decent quality.
(although one was about £40 IIRC).

A handy tip for fitting the corner ones. If they are two shelf ones,
they often have uprights that can be fitted either behind the trays, or
in front of the trays top rails. Just remember when you mark out the
hole positions that if you decide to go for rails behind option after
marking out using just the tray as a guide, the holes will be in the
wrong place! (DAMHIK)

Default Shower caddy

Me? I don't even know what one actually is, are we talking a kind of concave
piece of metal with holes in to put soap and other consumables into in a
shower? I've never heard them called caddies before.

That sounds similar. Two trays and vertical rails with hooks at the
bottom.

I take it the tray goes further into the corner without the rails. I'll
be careful. Thanks.

Umm.. tempting to get one of those as well. Sadly the shower room does
not have a convenient corner.

I'm utterly convinced that you are a clinically insane sociopathic cretin,
senile Rodent!

BTW, his problem was already solved, so why did you even have to open your
senile gob?

"That¢s because so much **** and ****e emanates from your gob that there is
nothing left to exit normally, your arsehole has clammed shut through disuse

Yup, this is one of the ones I used:

Indeed. If you use the tray to space the rails from the wall then the
spacing matches the tray - however if you mount the rails against the
wall, then you get the ~4mm offset from the thickness of the rails.
