    Why is the bath the wrong way round?

    Cheers

    It was like that when we bought the house. At the other end of the bath is a large window, so the shower can not go that end either!

    Going back to my previous comments - in order to get a curtain to run along the long side of the bath you'd need a rail which runs round the two sides (albeit at a suitable height). You can normally get a bracket to fit the corner to effectively hang that corner from the ceiling - I suppose its possible you could just use this to have rail along the long side but I just thought it would be nicer to be able to push the curtain away over by the shower head when not in use. This arrangement would also allow the curtain to cover part of the glass screen near the corner and make absolutely certain that no water gets out.

    From your second image there is no reason why the taps/shower shouldn't be that end - the window is obviously behind the loo and there is plenty of wall left for the shower. But I digress that doesn't solve your problem - although you wouldn't have a problem if it had been done that way round in the first instance :D.

    Available L shaped shower screens do not have a long enough return

    My suggestion would be a fixed glass screen behind the taps. Then a L shaped shower curtain rail so that a curtain hangs just inside the glass screen and running down to the wall next to the loo. That would enable you to draw the curtain just far enough on the short side to be able to operate the taps.

    Don't think I've phrased that too well. Does it make sense?

    Cheers

    Edit: Think I may have just duplicated Weston's suggestion. Should have read his post first I guess.
