Our current bathroom layout has the shower cubicle separated from the bath by a stud wall. The shower is small at 76cm square, and I would like to shift the bath down a bit, remove the stud wall and have a 100x80 shower, but this needs a flush glass solution against the end of the bath. I don't want any sort of gap to attract dirt etc. How do the experts achieve this? This is the sort of thing I want (although would have a tray in the shower and the bath would butt up right against the shower). It would make a bigger shower and flood natural light in.

Top one is just a bath inset into a frame. Fit the shower and the screen first, then build the box leaving the front off, drop the bath into the frame connect it all up and fit the front panel.
So you think it's a custom made side glass panel that is sitting on tiled boxing of the bath?

I don't have the space to box in the bath. It seems like two potential options, one is a short stud wall to height of the bath, and then some sort of custom shower enclosure, but that sounds expensive, and who makes them?
The other one seems to fit standard shower enclosure and full glass side panel, then butt bath up against it, sealing the edge, but then maybe to frost the glass side panel just where
it goes up against the bath to stop being able to see the underneath of the bath.

Thanks, the worry with using the standard bath glass panel linked is that you then need the shower enclosure door to match up exactly on height with it, whilst being on a shower tray. Just not sure that would ever work out.

Butting the bath up against a standard shower enclosure sounds the easiest solution, but worry that hair and dirt will build up between the 2 and be visible from the shower, whether the end of the bath has a panel or tiles. It would definitely work but might look a bit naff.
