Stainless shower sets, sold by their dimensions
Shower columns and rail sets, mostly in stainless steel, in chrome and black finishes.
A rail set is nearly always replacing one already screwed to a tiled wall. If the new brackets land on the old holes it is a ten-minute change; if they miss by three centimetres it means drilling tile. A published spacing — better still, an adjustable one — is what makes that a decision rather than a gamble.
Rail length, which sets how far the sliding holder travels, and therefore whether the shower suits two people of different heights.
Rail set · 70 cm two-part stainless rail · 22 mm diameter · brackets 30–65 cm · holder slides and turns 180° · NO head, NO hose
A rail and a holder, fully dimensioned — and deliberately without a hand shower or a hose, because you already have those.
Best for: A rail that has corroded or a holder that has snapped, where the hand shower and hose are still perfectly good.
≈ £24 / 20 €
Shower column · 92 cm fixed rail · 20 × 20 cm head · brackets 12–82 cm · 8 and 14 l/min at 3 bar · NO mixer supplied
A black shower column that publishes both its flow rates with the pressure behind them, and states in its first line that no mixer is included.
Best for: A shower that already has a working mixer, where the existing wall holes are an awkward distance apart.
