I cannot find these items on their web site. Are you able to assist? I need at least one pair of rollers with their plastic mounts.
Any help greatly appreciated - prepared to pay whatever it takes.
Note I am the UK but have friends in VA who will assist.

We have the same problem with the small roller bearings top and bottom of the shower door, I have replaced them twice before by just rining Aquadart and they sent replacements out FOC. Unfortuantely now the company that took over the name refuses to honour any warranty or even supply spares.
I bought some small roller bearings from RS Components and made up adapter spigots on my lathe, they fit OK and roll but they are still not ideal as the bearings are stainless steel with square shoulders and the shower channel is aluminium and requires ideally rounded edge bearings, the dorr opens and closes now without falling out of the aperture but it takes a LOT of effort as there is too much friction with SS in an Alu runner.
If anyone knows a supplier of plastic coated bearing, please let us know!
I cannot beleive these bearings were only made exlusively for Aquadart, there must be other manufacturers out there that use them?

I have exactly the same problem - the runners first came off the bottom and now the top one has gone too. Even if this company has gone out of business, I can't believe there are no stocks of those little wheels anywhere. It is going to cost me UK£1,00 to fit a new door and frame and I am sure somebody must be able to repair it. Please let me know if anybody has any success with this or if they know of a bathroom fitter who could try to repair mine in North West London areaa. Thanks. Carole

This is a good company for small bearings https://simplybearings.co.uk/
The size is 19mm diam by 5mm.
The difficulty is in fixing to that moulded plastic piece with the two lugs. If anyone can suggest a material to make similar it would be helpfull. I am surprised that the company patterns, moulds etc were not bought from the administrator . They are a good product but like everything else the bearings wear out after time. Mine is working OK now.

I have exactly the same problem. I am told the company no longer manufactures these doors and spares are not available. I am sure somebody must be selling atleast nylon wheels.

Guess what I have the same problem. Surely somebody must manufacture these items. They can only cost pence to produce!

Hey guys
did you find a solution to the perished runner on the aquadart shower door?
Ours has perished too but it looks like with a new washer that fits we could fix it.

looking forward to hearing from you soon

If you do find a solution, post here to let me know, I just put the old seals back on, even though they are perished until I can find another solution.

Colin,

Is it a shower enclosure unit with sliding door you have?

I am trying to buy replacement seals for the door as mine have perished, but I can't find any either. Aprat from that, my door works perfectly, so rather annoying that I need to replace a whole door because of it.

I have exactly the same problem. I am told the company no longer manufactures these doors and spares are not available. I can't locate any supplier who handles this product spare parts on-line. I now believe that the only solution is to replace the whole door and frame! My current preference is the Merlin 900 Saloon shower door, which also opens inwards.
