The Law requires that only currently approved safety glass can be placed in shower screens. If the screen is older than 25 years then it most likely does not have safety glass. Some of the older screens have glass that has now been removed from the safety glass register, e.g. Wired glass. Amber glass is no longer available as the manufacturing process involved very toxic substances and was deemed to be too dangerous to produce. If your screen has wired glass or non-safety glass you should replace it as the potential for injury in a fall or knock is high. In a rental property you could be held liable for any injury.

Speedy Shower Screens no longer refits shower screens due to the many occasions that we have arrived to find the screen not suitable for refitting.

The glass may not be currently approved safety glass. If you have re-tiled the screen may not fit and cannot be modified. We recommend that you do not buy a second-hand screen as the risks are extremely high that it cannot be installed in your shower recess. As stated above, Speedy Shower Screens no longer refits old shower screens.
