Tiny bathroom

Getting the keys to our first home 3rd February so ordering our new bathroom as the old one needs ripping out completely and updating.
One wall (the one pictured) is 120cm. With a 70cm bath and 45cm basin we have 5cm space. Now my concern is the shower screen. We have to purchase one that doesn't open outwards as it will hit basin. Is there such thing as fixed one that doesn't pivot? Other options would be a curtain but that's not to our taste, also seen folding ones that fold the bath side so wouldn't hit either however my husband doesn't like the look of these. If anyone has found a fixed one and can give me feedback on them. or if they exist 😅

Thank you I'll have a browse. Problem I'm having is they say fixer but when looking at photos some have the swivel bit![Deleted User] said:Hi,anything HERE that might suit?0 -
Hi,though you'll not need to swivel it, as you can step out of bottom of bath.2

My husband saying to get a normal one too and just don't open! But we have a 5 year old so it only takes him to knock it, hit the sink and shatter in the bath. I couldn't risk that.[Deleted User] said:Hi,though you'll not need to swivel it, as you can step out of bottom of bath.2 -
Hi,ah, right, you could put a wee buffer between screen and sink unit.2

We have a folding screen which folds over the bath. Our basin is within a couple of inches of the bath and doesn't obstruct operation of the screen.

Is this this one with four panels that fold into eachother?TELLIT01 said:We have a folding screen which folds over the bath. Our basin is within a couple of inches of the bath and doesn't obstruct operation of the screen.0 -
Just a thought if you do get a fixed one that doesn’t fold away you will have difficulty getting to the taps when your stood out of the bath.1

A corner sink might give you a bit more room to play with, depending on where the loo is of course. Separating the taps and placing them at the other end of the bath would enable you to have a fixed screen and still get to the taps easily. The shower could then be plumbed to a wall mounted mixer unit half way along.Post a floor plan, and I'm sure you'll get more suggestions
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
