Anyone know anything about shower quadrants, please?

Just wondered if anyone has any in-depth knowledge about this. About ten years ago we bought a bathroom suite from bathstore.com. The basin, toilet, bath and shower base are still in really good condition but the shower quadrant looks a bit sorry for itself now and a few weeks ago one of the glass doors came out completely and fell on the floor. It didn't shatter and we glued it back in but it did it again a few weeks later and this time it scraped on the floor so it has a large mark on the doors.

We don't really want to take the base out because the wall and floor tiles would be disturbed and they still look good - and we can't really afford to replace them at the moment as we have a lot of other things going on. What we wanted to do was put a new lot of doors/frame etc on the old base. We went to Bathstore and they said that all the 900 x 900 quadrant cubicles would fit the base but they have changed the height from 1850 mm to over 1900 mm. This would look stupid as they would extend above the tiles we have in place. There is one cubicle that is 1850 mm in height but it is the 'Smartprice' one and it's not very good quality.

Does anyone know if I bought the cubicle elsewhere for a 900 x 900 size base whether it will still fit? I'm just concerned that the curved part might be different from shop to shop - I imagine not but don't know.

Any help gratefully received!

To my cost I learnt you need to be very careful if the base and enclosure aren't from the same range. They are all broadly the same size but we had a quadrant screen with the hinged doors, because of a difference in width of the flat edge of the tray, the doors didn't close and seal how they should have. The screens usually have a bit of adjustment where they fix to the wall but it wasn't enough.

Maybe find a tray with similar dimensions to your existing one and then look at screens from that range? You can normally download detailed measurements from manufacturers websites.
