Help finding v small all in one shower cubicle

We need a temporary fix so that we can have a shower while we do up the main bathroom. There is a tiny downstairs loo where we could in theory rig up an enclosed shower until the work is finished . The picture is the sort of thing we need but is 700 x 700 x 2020mm and the doorway is just less than 700 and the ceiling just lower than 2020. We need something slightly smaller and if possible ( and it probably isn’t) flat packed AND not too expensive . Any ideas??

I wouldn't bother - unless everyone in.the family is petite, it will be a claustrophobic experience. Better to stage your bathroom works to ensure you have a working shower - even if it's only a shower attachment on the taps for a short time.

Sadly can’t do that- whole floor needs to be strengthened and waterproofed , also complicated by ongoing work elsewhere. My other option is a tin bath and a bucket!

Do you have a local gym? You could always pay for the gym and shower there whilst the floor is up. It would probably cost less than buying a whole shower and all the hassle installing and removing it will take.

Room in the garden for a cheap, secondhand caravan?

DH will be doing the bathroom and is away lots with work so it will be a slow process - we really need something inside- I can use a shower ten minutes down the road but I work and the kids do lots of sport - it’s not practical unfortunately once term starts. Thank you for the suggestions though- I’ll keep looking

You're not going to like this but how about swapping the downstairs loo's sink for a nice big one (maybe snaffled from upstairs) and everyone learns to do old fashioned flannel washing & sink hairwashing? Use that day to day and full shower once or twice a week 10 mins away.

We had months without a shower (DIY bathroom fitting) and got by with shallow baths but I'm guessing your bath will be out of action too.

we used to have one of these in our last rented flat. It was fine to use and eventually needed replacing (was about 20 years old), so landlord bought one just like the one you have pictured. Definitely measure carefully. He didn’t and it wouldn’t go round the corner into our flat. It really is all in one piece so I would advise plotting it’s “route” into the room it would go in and measuring every single bit of the route very carefully. Our LL had to send the shower cubicle back and put a proper one in.

PS just had a though.... what about one of those camping shower thingies? That you stand in a bucket or whatever and attach to the taps, comes out of a shower head.... have I dreamed that? I’m sure they exist...

Managed to find one last night by the same company, that gets delivered in pieces as you are right it wouldn’t have gone in as one piece. It’s a tiny loo it’s going into. It will be a bodge and will mean we lose a sink and have to wash hands in the utility so might all go down with some hideous not washed hands bug, but at least we can shower. I’ve been living in a tent all summer in the garden while the house is gutted and even small steps back towards inside life is good!
