Steam shower enclosures

[johnmac11]

SWMBO has informed me that she needs one of these and after looking online at the weekend I am confused 😕 ….

There doesn’t seem to be a dominant manufacturer or a quality maker that stands out so which ones are worth considering.

My main concern is availability of parts in the future and ease of service ( I don’t fancy pulling the whole shower out to do a repair )

So does anyone repair these showers and if so what make and type do I consider??

thanks

Re: Steam shower enclosures

I did a little and, I do mean a little, research into these a while back because I was interested and there were calls for servicing them.

From what I can gather, other than ones that you can have if you also own a Bentley and upwards, they are mostly from China.

I’m sure it will come as no surprise that spares were a complete nightmare and tech info on those I looked at was patchy at best. Mostly though, support seemed almost non-existant for the most part.

There are some good ones out there but they aren’t common and aren’t cheap at all from what I saw.

Re: Steam shower enclosures

that’s the main concern I have, if I buy one will spares be available in the long term. Most places that sell them state that they come with a one year parts guarantee so if the steam generator goes after this will it end up being an expensive shower cabinet??

Some of the claims regarding the health benefits appear to be slightly exaggerated, with claims of helping circulation and asthma abounding. All scots men know that only Iron Bru can cure these ailments :rotfl:

Looks like a lot more research before I go ahead with this project.
