Croydex Secura Shower Head and Hose Attachment for Bath Taps - Multipurpose Stainless Steel Shower Hose, Complete Set with Riser Rail, Easy Push-On Design with Straps for Bathroom, Kitchen, Pet Shower

This Croydex unit costs quite a bit more than the old-fashioned items like we used to have to stick onto our sink taps when I was a kid. About three times the price in fact. But seeing as how those ones were never much good, and the Croydex had such good reviews, and bearing in mind that I was seeking a solution to last a while, since my shower is out of action for a couple of months until I can get some major electrical work done, and baths are so much more time consuming, I decided to take a chance and go for it. Good decision.The quality of manufacture is a world away from the cheapo versions, and the length of the hose is plenty to reach the full length of the bath and up to my full height so I can still stand behind the splashscreen. The clever tap-straps allow for a strong flow of water without the risk of the rubbers flying off the taps like the cheap versions do, resulting in a properly powerful shower. And not a leak in sight anywhere along the length of the unit.As it's a temporary arrangement I haven't bothered with the riser-rail, the shower-head hooks nicely onto the hanging hose of my currently inactive electric shower, and that arrangement is fine for now. Assembly of the unit is easy following the clear instructions, and wouldn't even be difficult in their absence. As some have pointed out in earlier reviews, getting the rubbers onto the taps is the only tricky part, they are quite strong and inflexible. I solved the problem by smearing a layer of sexual lubricant onto each tap and around the rim of each rubber, and they popped on without any further struggle. Handy stuff for all kinds of diy!Personally, I'm going to leave them on all the time, so as to preclude any possibility of loosening up, though I've no reason to believe that would happen, I'm just being extra cautious. I would just mention also that I selected a water-based lubricant, firstly to be sure that it didn't have any adverse effect on the rubber, and secondly because it would be completely washed away as soon as the water passed through, ensuring it didn't cause slippage in use.To conclude, this Croydex shower spray is well worth the premium over the basic versions, because it actually does the job required of it and doesn't fly off the tap leaving either freezing cold or scorching hot water pouring over the user, and it feels like it'll stand the test of time too.

I've waited a couple of weeks before leaving this review. This product was easy to fit and works well and that's from a 50 yr old female! I found it easier to fit onto the taps by wetting the tap, this helped it slide on. Check the type of taps you have before purchasing. This unit appears to best fit older taps like mine. It has a helpful guide on the box of which taps type it is suite for and which it isn't. Use the washers that are included to avoid leaks and make a good seal. Water flow is nice out of the shower head. Easy to clean and good value for money.

I gave 4 stars only, because the water squirts out of the rubber part that goes over the front of the taps, but I can get a half decent shower. I wasn't expecting it to be brilliant but does the job whilst I get myself sorted in my new flat and so I can afford to have a power shower installed. I haven't fitted the pole to the tiled area as of yet, as I've not had time to get a shower curtain and pole as only moved a couple of days ago but it looks quite simple to put up. It's good value for money, as like I've already said, I get a shower just don't have your expectations too high. Delivery was very quick too!

I bought this while waiting for my electric shower to be fixed and I wish I had bought one sooner. I don’t even need my old shower fixing now because this is AMAZING. Definitely spend that little extra because it’s worth it. It’s the most powerful shower I’ve ever had. Yes it doesn’t look fancy but I don’t care for a spa shower. Attached very easily and no leaks. LOVE it!

I have been using this product for months now and still works efficiently. Overall it saved me thousands of pounds to install a shower in my bathtub. I really love this product so far!

It's not a bad little shower but it leaks out the back of the taps when switched on which is not good so over all not very happy with it

This did not fit my taps despite my taps fitting all requirements in description. Tried to cut the edges to allow it to fit. Worked a little but too many leaks, and any water through was overpowered by pressure from cold tap so too cold . Not worth £30. Not worth anything.

Highly recommend this product! Shower is powerful and easy to fit.
