Hi there,
To be honest there and hundreds of companies out there who do them and there's not much difference between each of you're going for a chrome finish.
You can try ironmongerydirect.co.uk as well as Hafele but if you do a Google you'll find a lot more.
The most important thing is getting a hinge that suits the thickness and weight of glass.

Hope this helps

Thank you for the swift response, my wish is to have 2 pieces of toughened glass, my understanding is 10mm offers the idea strength, both to be hinged to the wall, one of the pieces will act as the door into the shower, both a chrome handle & hinges. Hope this makes sense?

A floor plan with dimensions of the room would be very helpful. Also, can you show the layout that you intend to do for the new bathroom. I don't know that I can offer any advice without this additional information........

If you are using an installer they should be able to give you more tips on the best layout. Light coloured or white tiles will make the space feel bigger, maybe adding a line or border of another colour to add interest.

About your plumber saying "plumb layout is confirmed". That is a load of rubbish. It's fairly easy to move drains around (yes he might have to rip up some walls, but he can also do off-the-wall installations to avoid that). In a small bath proper placement is of the utmost importance!!! If you have the bathtub and shower next to each other that will be much better and then the glass separator idea should work. padmaramachandran's (see post above) setup sounds more reasonable to me as well (see first picture below). This is similar to your setup but as you have more space you could put in bath tub and shower where the picture only shows a bath tub. Also if you do it that way you could theoretically have a bidet or a wider wash basin (small double perhaps too). Example layout: Do you need a bathtub in the guest bath? If not you have a lot more room to work with. E.g. for a double wash basin and large walking shower and a bidet (2nd picture). Example of off-the-wall installation for toilet and bidet and a large walking shower. Finally if you ignore this advice and do it the way you planned ;) then I suggest you really thing about that glass separator. Doing it right will make a lot of difference (see 3rd picture). Good luck!

For the time being (and this IS only a temporary fix) try using a water based penetrating sealer on the grout. I stress water based, because solvent based sealers today are made to be "breatheable", meaning they allow moisture to transmit back and forth, while the water based sealers will repel water. You still need to address this in a more permanent manner (the glass door is a good idea, but it wouldn't hurt to remove the bathroom floor tile, waterproof the floor, and install a new tile floor), but this will help until you can afford to do what you need to do.

Hi,
That makes sense if you want to hinge both doors.
As it's toughened be aware that any holes to be drilled need to done before the toughening process so you might have send them a layout drawing showing hole positions and diameters.
For the hinges you can get some which just clamp the glass rather than bolt through.
For handles you'll need to give the glass people setting out for the holes.
Best regards
Peter
