Best Bathroom Accessories & Fittings

Bathroom buys face damp and daily use, so mould resistance, build quality and easy cleaning matter more than looks. Shower curtains, sealant and fittings that hold up save you replacing them every few months, which is where real value sits. We rank by genuine customer ratings, and for brands like Croydex and Aqualona we bring in reviews from beyond Amazon so you can see what survives a steamy bathroom and what quickly goes grubby.

Common questions

How do I stop a shower curtain going mouldy?

Let it dry out after each shower by pulling it fully across, and keep the room ventilated. Wash or wipe it regularly, and many can go in the machine on a cool wash. Mould-resistant curtains from brands like Aqualona help, but nothing beats airflow. Replace liners once staining will not shift rather than living with it.

Which sealant is best around a bath or shower?

Use a bathroom-specific silicone with mould inhibitors, such as Unibond ranges, rather than general filler. Remove the old sealant fully, dry the gap, and apply a steady bead in one pass. Anti-mould versions last far longer in a wet room. Ventilation afterwards helps it cure and keeps future mould at bay.

Are cheap bathroom fittings worth buying?

Some are fine, but damp punishes poor quality fast. Look for rust-resistant materials on anything metal, and check ratings for whether suction hooks actually hold or fittings corrode. Brands like Croydex have a long track record. Spending a little more on parts that touch water often saves replacing them within a year.
