Bathroom design advice needed!

[Caroline Finuca]

Hi there,
Can anyone help me?
I have a small bathroom with a bath fitted into the top lefthand corner (the taps of the bath are against the far wall and the bath runs along the lefthand wall).

The problem is the window: this is fairly large, and cuts down into some of the space directly above the top of the bath. So the area above the taps is split into two: the left side is a thing column of tiles, the right side has half a window cutting into it.

This means that there is not a solid wall coming up from the righthand side of the bath (it's a bit of wall and then a window recess). Which means there's not a full stretch of wall to attach a shower screen to.

I need to add a screen to a) prevent the shower splashing over the side of the bath and b) splashing into the window recess. The best solutions I've come up with are either to:
* to use a bespoke piece of perspex or glass to cover the section of window that intrudes into the bath area, then fix a normal shower screen to this piece of glass/perspex
* to see if a shower screen such as this one Sail Straight Shower Screen with Panel and Rail - Plumbworld available at Plumbworld can be fixed with the splash screen section fitted at an angle, to cover the bath corner (any ideas whether this screen could be fitted in such a way?)

Please help!

Many thanks,
Caroline

How about a folding bath screen.

 

[stevetheplumber]

should have fitted a smaller window best solution i can think of is use a four or more section folding screen fixed as close to the windw edge as possible and allow it to fold across the windo
Aquarius Folding Bath Screens
they also do a seven fold one which might be better i think argos used to do them

if there isnt room for the shower door past the taps get two right hand pedestals and ofset the taps

I would suggest something like this

Buy Chrome Finish Circular Shower Rail. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .

To be honest without doing something like blocking part of the window or preferably changing it, its going to look a bodge job.

shower curtain's your best bet

I did a similar one a while back and put in a few battens and plaster board, then tiled. The left hand side of the window is "empty" behind the wall and while slightly unconventional it looked fine.

As said could have a central rail and curtain,what I have done in the past is remove shower hose from bath mixer and run in chrome pipe round to center of side bath wall and refit hose in location or fit two shower hoses together and run round held by chrome saddle-clips

What also can be do is cut some sheet ply and in fill side of window recess,to thickness required to fit screen and tile,this will be less than a full tile (maybe 3/4 by look of it),then fit another bit of ply from tile edge back to window, at angle so meets window on pvc side section,so the ply section made is like l/

Turn the bath around and take the window out of the equation.

 

[Caroline Finuca]

Really helpful - thank you

 

[Toddyplumb]

I dont know whether that is a sarcastic thank you so just to clarify I am being serious just get the bath turned and extend the pipes and waste . By the time you have messed around with the window it might be cheaper.
WE do it that way whenever the window interferes

 

[Caroline Finuca]

Sorry, I posted this against the wrong answer! No sarcasm intended - thanks for responding.
I'm not in a poisition to redesign my bathroom right now, but when I get a new bathroom put in (phase 4) I will definitely consider this.
That window is so annoying!

 

[Caroline Finuca]

This is really helpful, and thanks for taking the trouble to upload your pics. Just like my bathroom!
