Bath screen not flush with bath the whole way?

last year

last modified: last year

We are wanting to get rid of our shower curtain and put in a bath screen instead. We don't have a big budget, so replacing the bath isn't an option. The issue is the side of the bath dips down approx 40 cm from the wall.

Is it feasible to put an 800mm bath screen in if it's not supported the whole way along the bottom? From what I understand the wall bears the load of the screen.

I have a glass screen for a shower bath combo. It’s attached to the wall with two hinges and a row of silicone at the base of the glass where it sits on the bath. I would say that a decent amount of the weight of the glass rests on the bath edge. So not suitable for your setup. If you talk to the installer, they may have wall fixing that run the length of the glass and hold the entire weight of the glass. You would still have water escaping through the gap.

This looks like it is on a residential street, which is totally no for me. If you use this bathroom at night EVERYTHING will be visable. Trust me, those holes won't block a thing (we had a solar window shield that was very simular). Our new house is very, very private so that bathing by a window wouldn't be a big deal

I have a shower over bath combo' which its plastic resin something? It's a old bungalow and pitifully small. The amount of times I have nearly slipped over getting out, or lost my balance with soap in my eyes/ or after having a glass of wine. hate hate it. I did see a shower room with a additional hand held device and a over head shower. I thought that good for the odd squirt your feet down. The next owners will probably rip it all out and start again any way when design ideas change.

sounds like a good use of space, you could install a pull out hotel clothes line, you know the one with the round fitting on one wall with a single pull out line which clips into a fitting on the other side. Attaching some photos the first is a bathroom that I would love to use to replace our existing ensuite (without replacing the window) which is as you enter the WC is behind the door to the left, right side is a nearly sunken bath with shower plus a large sliding window beside the bath, we think the architect hadn't allowed enough showering space so by adding the window gave extra width. Then we have a full width vanity and mirror on the third wall. The last should have a swimming pool style hand rail. Did you build your house, would love to see some more photos of the bathroom etc. cheers

Some baths are more suited for shower baths than others. It depends on the flattish standing room at the bottom of the bath. Some baths are quite curvy and narrow. Make sure you stand in a showroom bath to see if it feels too narrow (without your shoes). You will need a four flange bath for tiling and waterproofing in your shower bath scenario. https://specify.caroma.com.au/products/baths/vivas/vivas-1675-anti-slip-bath Best of luck with your planning, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls/Dr Retro Virtual Visits
