Fitting shower cubical in against plaster board walls
My mother inlaw has asked me to fit a shower cubical in place of her
bath, she is having difficulyi getting in and out of a bath. However her bathroom walls are plaster board. Since it is unlikely that the wall battons will line up with the screen fixings fo you think they will be ok attaching to the plaster walls etc, any advice would be appreciated Thanks Steve Jones |

I've used this in both bathrooms and have been very satisfied with the results. Fantastically heavy though, compared to plasterboard. Regards, Simon. |

Right where the bath waste used to be. No having to step up into a shower tray, or climb in and out of a bath. Just walk right in and have a shower. Then all you need is a curtain and track right across the room. Easy. |
