Advice for Over-Bath shower screen...

eatscoobysnax

Hello, Been reading this forum for a while now and seems to be a great place to get advice and tips! Hoping someone can help me now.
Im having trouble locating a suitable bath screen which has a hinged corner and one fixed glass panel for the end of the bath... I have seen one in someones house so know they must be available somewhere, I am able to find all sorts of different screens online, just not the type I'm looking for... the link to the picassa page is here:

Basically the end glass panel takes the place of a wall which would be at the plug-hole end of the bath, (youll see in the plan that the sink is located here)

I need it to be glass as the bathroom is pretty small and to conserve space and allow as much natural light as possible in the confined space, any solid wall or partition would be too bulky and block light from the sink area.

If anyone has any Ideas, or has seen the type of screen I need then could you let me know? Any help would be much appreciated!!

Im in the Glasgow area so any local source would be ideal, otherwise an online supplier would be just as good!

Thanks in advance!

Scooby!

Cheers for replying Greatgimp,

At first glance it looks good but not quite what Im needing... I require the wall thats on the right to be glass panel instead of wall as the bath cant go up against a wall on either end unfortunately.

Cant seem to find a ready to install solution anywhere so might have to try concocting my own with the type of fixings you get for standalone shower cubicals and cut them to size....

How about a shower rail and curtain instead? Would prob be cheaper and you would get more elbow room at the basin.

Yeh I had thought about a curtain but to be honest Ive always hated them, always getting dirty and "cheap" looking... Might just be the cheap and nasty ones Ive had in the past tho!

Might be as well going for a cheaper curtain option (but a better quality design/material) but going to look into the screen option a bit more first...... Hear you on the elbow room thing though, hadnt actually considered that point...

Cheers.

**update, have heard from the owner of the screen I saw and got the name of the company they got it from.... so heres hoping the price isnt too much...

Maybe you could purchase some perspex or acrylic sheet and make one from available parts? Looks like you would need the screen fixing against the wall and to a post at the corner of the bath and then another hinged screen on he front of the bath. It's getting it fitting well enough to prevent water escaping and looking nice. Might need polishing up afterwards too.

Making it would certainly take time to do but would give you exactly what your looking for.

Be aware of the possibility of breaking and ensure that there is no danger. Plus some materials might twist or buckle in the heat so you would need to take into account these things.

Wickes sell some Acrylic sheet which looks like it might be big enough but it is far too thin at 2mm. So there should be something suitable available somewhere.

Any chance of sharing it with us? Our bathroom is very similar to yours! Basically at present we are just showering "very carefully".
