thehallfamily Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Help we are having a dilemma!! We are refurbishing a house at Bridlington to let and be our own escape. The bathroom is, well, cosy but has a full size bath and no room for a shower screeen. So looks like we will have to have a curtain. Ceilings are very high - 10ft so don't really want to attatch it there. Does anyone have any advice/experience to offer?? We have seen some cool circular rails but are not convinced they would hold up to the letting side?? Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I got a "self supporting" shower curtain rail to fit into an alcove which was a bit tricky. You twist the middle bit and it pushes the ends outwards to fit the alcove. It cost about £15 and is absolutely fine. Got it from Cole Brothers which is Sheffield's John Lewis. I liked it because there was no drilling etc involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 We've got an 'L-shaped' curtain pole, and as well as the fixings on the wall, it has a chain attrached to the ceiling, to help keep it secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 We have got a 'u' shaped curtain pole. The two ends are fixed to the wall either side of the shower head. OH bought a bracket for a wardrobe pole and slipped this on tho the other end of the shower curtain pole, this is attached to the ceiling. We also have two shower curtains, one on either side of the bath so all the water runs into the bath. the shower curtain pole came from B&Q.

bronze Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 we have a concertina one. Its fab. Its from focus I think ( may have been on of the other big diy chains) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 We have one that attaches to the wall not the ceiling. Not sure it would work in all houses though, as our bathroom's very tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Ooh, Bridlington! I spent many a happy (and mischievous ) holiday there when I was in my teens! [sorry, no advice on shower curtains tho ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 ours is similar to Eglutine's We got one from John Lewis that you don't need to screw in - not that we're bothered as it's only the bathroom and I shower in the en-suite (cos it's nicer still!)
