Quadrant shower 800 or 900?
Our bathroom work is still pending. We want to fit a quadrant shower and could easily fit an 800 but could just about fit a larger 900. My question is whether there is a noticable difference when moving around showering between an 800 and a 900? I've been in both in B & Q but need a reply from someone who has actually showered in both sizes.

900 does make a difference.
Fitted a 900 with champagne centre opening (sliding) bevelled doors.
You'll also benefit from having the shower head in the corner rather than off a face wall, it's a little more difficult to fit but not a lot, the cavity you form with a panel cutting across the corner makes the pipes an easy run to the mixer.
Glorious shower, had a mirror tiled into the wall and a twin impeller pump in the loft producing 32psi, shifted 40 gallons in around 15minutes! I'd put a bigger tank in next time.

last shower I fitted in my bathroom was 900 quadrant and found it a good size and big enough. If you have room for a 900 instead of a 800, I would go for it.
Not many people would come out of a shower and say "nice shower, but I wish it was a bit smaller"

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Good on you for posting, some of our myopic members have had heart attacks though.

Jason 123,
Many thanks for the link, I'll try it tonight. I'll be glad when the flipping bathroom has been finished. I'm getting fed up with not having either a bath or shower and using a builders' bucket to wash in is certainly a novel use for one! It's the nearest thing to the old tin bath that we could get.
