Does anyone have experience with steam shower cabins?

[lolitainlondon]

I bought a Vidalux steam shower cabin but my plumber wouldn't put it in because he said that it would leak. The company has really good ratings and it's going to be difficult to return. Does anyone have any experiences with these and would you agree with my plumber?

Has he stated why it would leak ?

He said that shower cabins always leak and that the jubilee clips on the back won't hold up to the pressure.

We have had the misfortune to have to fit several of these.
Exactly as your plumber said the already piped up parts are thin plastic tube held together by jubilee type clips.
One arrived with a hole drilled in wrong position on base . Took 12 weeks to get a replacement from China!
Truly horrid things to fit we now refuse.

Thanks a lot for the second opinion!!
