Hi all,
First bit of d-i-y for a while.
In 2005 Mum bought a bathroom / shower suite in a Homebase sale but very shortly after Dad was taken I'll and it all got left in it's boxes in the garage.
Dad passed away in Feb and Mum (82) is now having stuff done, like the kitchen and bathroom (just a big tidy up really as she's not sure if she wants to move away / to a bungalow yet).
We have just unboxed the shower stuff to find 'Jacuzzi' have sent her both a sliding door and pivoting door (which was supposed to be an end 'panel'). Ok, we can fix the extra door closed but unfortunately we don't have the / a corner section / extrusion either.
So far, calls to Homebase / Jacuzzi / shower_cubical_suppliers and plenty of Goggling have turned up nothing.
I even measured the section on a similar / current Homebase enclosure but the panels all seem much thinner now days?
So, I was wondering if anyone happens to have a shower cubical that uses a ~20 mm thick 'panel' and that has a 90 deg external extrusion / corner where I might be able to get a spare please?
The wall extrusion fitting we have are an ally 'U' section with side flange (for attaching to the walls) and the U is ~20mm opening and the side 'cheeks' are about 35mm deep (I think they are quite deep to allow for wall plumb adjustment). The section would ideally be at least 1775 mm long (and white). ;-)
Cheers and thanks for your time in any case.

p.s. If push comes to shove and the true spirit of d-i-y, , I may trim off the side flanges from the two spare wall fitting extrusions (with an angle grinder of course ) leaving just the 'U' sections that are the correct fit for these panels (the now non painted edges could probably be lost under some silicone or plastic beading in the final job). I could then joint the two U's together at 90 deg using a length of 20 x 20 x 2(?) mm ally angle in the external opening and then finishing it all off with some (ideally) white uPVC quadrant (or some such. Like the 'nose' off a uPVC windowsill)? However, I can't really start that till the tray is in place as I don't know how the panels are supposed to sit in relation to each other (do they nearly touch or did the proper corner make a bigger radius etc).
