Awkward bath/shower screen requirement

[wiggy001]

Hi,

Our main bathroom has a shower over the bath above the taps and I would like to add a shower screen if possible to replace the nasty shower curtain. The problem is that there is a window above the edge of the bath, meaning I'd have nothing to screw a tranditional shower screen into to line it up with the edge of the bath.

Imagine something like this with a shower above the taps (and without the shelf shown behind the taps in that pic):


Has anyone ever come across anything that would be suitable for this scenario?

I'm trying to tidy up the bathroom on a limited budget so I'm guessing this falls into "expensive bespoke solution" or "not possible" but thought I'd ask anyway on the offchance.

TIA

ive had this in a rental of mine, and i absolute despise shower curtains. i basically put a false wall where it needed to go, move it all out from the window a bit then sloped it back in towards the edge of the window. i must be honest it looked awkward when i had finished but then again its only a rental

il try dig some photos out of it

Can't you use a curved shower screen like the ones on P shaped baths? I might cut off the corner a bit but should do the job

I must be one of the few who prefer curtains to screens. I hate cleaning shower screens, it’s much easier for me to bung the curtain into the washing machine.

What I would do is to use aluminium box section and either fix to the wall so it runs past the opening of the window then fix the wall channel of the shower screen to that with self tapping screws. Or fix the box section in the opening of the window so the front is flush with the wall then fix the wall channel to that and the wall above the bath. I recently used this on a full height enclosure, hope this helps

The screen doesn't have to sit on the bath edge. It'll work fine (better actually no leaking seals) a couple of cm inboard.

You can get ones that have a small right angled section to go around the corner.

Most of the bathrooms I get to work have minging screens after a few months

Apologies for the thread resurrection, but OP did you reach any conclusion on this? We are facing the same problem.

I haven’t because, well, life got in the way and other things took priority. However, I did look into this again recently and Ideal standard make a bath that is angled at the tap end for exactly this scenario

A 4 section folding screen might work, as you can position each section at what ever angle/position you want.

That's quite a thread resurrection.

In our case we ended up getting something bespoke made.

That looks like a good solution.

We ended up swapping the taps/shower to the other end of the bath to avoid this problem.
