Portable Shower Attachment   
I'm getting a little frustrated and hope someone can help.

My bath has separate hot and cold taps, and I have a shower attachment with 
rubber connectors that fit over the taps. The hoses from the two connectors 
meet at a Y fitting, then the one hose goes up to the shower head at the 
top. Simple.

The rubber connectors have perished to a degree that they no longer provide 
a seal, so I want to buy either replacement rubber tap connectors or a whole 
new attachment. I challenge anyone to find any place in the UK that can sell 
me either. The only thing I've seen is an all-plastic version with a short 
hose for washing your hair in the sink. I need a full length shower 
attachment.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Items 8322412 and 8319731 from www.argos.co.uk might be suitable and at 
under a tenner a lot cheaper that a fully pumped, thermostically controlled, 
all glass and chrome shower cubicle (with all the mtce that these come with 
:-)
