British Expats - Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

I don't now have a shower curtain either, they are awful clingy things.

I have a glass panel 42" long and then an open doorway. The only thing I don't like about trays is that they seem to become very slippery after using hair conditioner. Could be mine to blame, I don't know, so I've needed to put down two shower mats. I didn't need these with my tiled shower in Adelaide.

Does anyone else have this problem using a tray?

Maybe you could install some nice looking grab bars...

I haven't had a bath in many years. Showers only for us.
We were planning to rip out the huge deep tub with the shower over when we get to UK, Shorty me can't even climb in without sitting on the cold porcelain it's so deep. filling it for a bath would cost a fortune, Dd nearly broke her neck in it when she was 4, it's nice and shiny, she stood up for me to get her out and went flying off to the other end so a pretty dangerous one. So we plan a nice large shower in it's place, easier for us when we age too, big enough for a shower chair if needed, and no banged head when leg shaving :lol:

I used to have a shower chair in Oz, but here I've bought a shower stool instead. Really handy and adequate at the present time, but my shower alcove is easily big enough for a chair if the need arises. :thumbup:

I cheat and use the shower tray to make sure the bottom of my feet are clean..roflamo. So I hold onto the shower rail and use the soapy bottom of the tray to buff my heals...lol

That's evolution !!

we have a walk in shower with sliding glass doors, well the actual shower fitting broke yesterday, so needed to install new shower head and hosing, we know a man who does all this type of work very well and only charges us for the fittings and half his usual rate for labour, we have known him for years, so he charged £75 altogether for buying and fitting a compleat shower :)
