New bath required, P or L shape?

Hey All, Happy new year!

We`re building a new bathroom and we`re considering a whirlpool bath with shower. Am considering an P or L shaped. I`m concerned that a few years down the line the shower screen will leak or someone will crack the side panel and will be a right pain to find a replacement.

Anyone know if the shower screens are all pretty much the same dimensions? Same goes for the side panels i guess. Or should I just go for a wider standard size bath, space isnt really a problem, but there isnt enough room to fit both a bath and separate shower.

Thanks

    I have an L shaped bath and the shower screen is straight so a standard one will fit it.
    I think a P shaped bath may be more specific but not 100% sure .

    The P shaped screens have a different radius depending on the manufacturer. You will need to make sure you keep a note of the maker as you need to get same screen and panel or it may not fit!!
