I knew from the outset that I'd have a challenge; well, that time has now arrived.

I ripped out the old shower there were leaks in the ceiling below).

I have installed a 1200 x 900 quadrant shower tray, and done the plumbing, and the walls are tiled. Everything works just fine. But she can't use it until I have installed the "enclosure".

The challenge is that the "Identiti2" enclosure is 1850 high, but the wall at the end is only 1750 high to where it meets the ceiling, which thereafter slopes up at about 45 degrees, i.e. the end bit of the top of the 1200 side needs to be chamfered by 100 x 100mm (see pic).
No; you can't just cut tempered glass. So I bought a 900 x 900 enclosure, and now need to bodge the end 300mm. I can get the glass cut to size & tempered. But I cannot get the framing I need. I need a piece roughly H shaped in section for the upright to connect the "existing" frame of the "existing" glass to the new ditto (see pix),
and I need framing for the new glass. The "existing" - in quotes, for it's not installed yet - is of white powder-coated aluminium.


The company who provided the enclosure a couple of years ago "don't do white anymore", nor do they do spare parts, nor the "special" H-section I need.

Where can I get such aluminium extrusion? Should I use plastic ? If so, where can I get same?

Your advice would be much appreciated.
