Shower enclosures – our pick of the best

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.

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.
