Shower enclosures – our pick of the best
Updating your shower room? Not sure whether to choose a square shower enclosure or a large walk-in option? Let us help you decide.
Before you start, it's best to think carefully about your space. If you have a compact bathroom go for a shower enclosure with sliding or bi-fold doors (which open inwards). However, if you've got plenty of space to play with, treat yourself to a large enclosure with a sleek pivot door. Want a luxurious feel? There are plenty of great walk-in shower enclosures that will give your space a wet room vibe. Whatever you are looking for, take a peek at our pick of the best shower enclosures for inspiration.
Playtime Walk-Through Ceiling Fix Shower
Specifications
We simply love the wet-room feel of this shower enclosure. If you've got the space then why not go for full on luxury!
The Playtime walk-through shower enclosure can be installed on a shower tray or a tiled wet room floor for a true walk-in feel. On a shower tray it can be sealed to the tray, or stand on small metal blocks to allow water to run underneath it. On a tiled floor the panel will stand on the small metal blocks. Made of extra thick 8mm tempered glass (the thickest in the range), it is sturdy and less prone to breakage. Does not include shower tray or waste.
Playtime Walk-Through Ceiling Fix Shower, £579, Bathstore.

We love the slim frame on this sleek shower enclosure. The sturdy pivot door is perfect to withstand plenty of daily use (especially if you have a heavily trafficked bathroom).
Coupling elegance with superb engineering, this shower makes a wonderful addition to any bathroom. The slim framed design looks stylish and features toughened safety glass, while the stainless steel mechanism and pivot adjustment ensure precision when opening and closing the door.
