Not sure what to call them but I am having my bath removed and a shower installed. I want a thing in the corner to hold all the gels, shampoos etc. I do not want it to rust! Went on Amazon and the feedback on the most expensive on there was that it was not non-rust though it claimed to be. I have found one in a Plumbers' merchant that I am assured has never rusted: it is about £100. Is it worth it, do you think? It is brass covered in chrome

We buy a cheap IKEA one and replace it every couple of years - will be ages before we get to £100 grin.

I bought one on Amazon, I cannot remember how much it cost but there is no way I would have paid £100 or even £50. Mine hangs over and has 3 small shelves and these shelves do slide slightly which is good if something on the above shelf is tall.I would have looked for something which was rust proof. Mine is well made, did not have to be put together and serves its purpose.

I got a plastic coated one that hooks over shower as I was fed up with them rusting. £9.

After much searching on Amazon/Argos etc we bought one in Dunelm for something like £8 and it's been great. Made of chrome, no rust yet after 18 months.
Ours is one which sits in the corner as we didn't want to hang all the shower gels and shampoo over the glass walls/door of the shower.
I'll be replacing it with something similar when it reaches the end of its life! smile

We have a glass shelf in the shower. It is quite high up but easy to reach and easy to clean.

We got one from John Lewis, two shelves it is screwed into the tiles in the corner very smart. I think it was about £60. No rust, easy to clean. Definitely worth it if you are paying £££s for a new bathroom.
