Having helped my mother in law with her shower room (she has MS) and helping a friend who just broke her leg ... the bigger shower is a great decision, but I wouldn't build in a bench. down the track if she needs to sit to shower, she will probably need a shower chair with arms to lower herself up and down and to be able to move it around if someone is helping her shower. then anyone else showering can just take it out and enjoy the bigger shower!

While brass door hinges are commonplace at Bunnings, I think that Babajate is looking for specialised brass hinges for a glass shower door, possibly a frameless glass door? Normal brass hinges for timber doors and door frames aren't going to work. I don't know if brass glass door hinges are actually available in Australia, so as an alternative have you considered matt black hinges, which won't clash like polished chrome hinges?Best of luck on your hunt, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

poor you, unfortunately it looks like the bathroom floor has been made with a wood product instead of cement sheet and the waterproofing membrane has failed although leaks can also come from the taps and pipes in the wall...the floor can only dry out if the source of the water is stopped...first have a plumber check the pipes and make sure that there's no leak inside the wall and you could renew the grout and add waterproof silicone along all the joins around the shower screen and paint the tiles with leak sealer (a paint on product available at hardware stores) to give you some use of the shower until you can replace the floor before more structural damage is done

Hi, I have the shower with one glass panel only, toilet, then wash basin all in a row on one wall and it works amazingly well. We never get water on the floor near the toilet, the water stays in the shower area which is obviously slopped towards the drain. You could have your shower on the back wall, the same wall the cistern is attached to and open your shower the other way at the vanity end which will save money because you only need one panel of glass. I think there is wasted space having to walk around the shower screen, put it in the other direction. Then you can move the vanity to that back wall too. This will put all your plumbing in the same wall, save space, and give a better flow to the room.
