Bathroom upgrade
I am thinking about doing something with my bathroom. The only thing I am not really happy with is the shower, the current one is quite small (700mm x 700mm internally) with an electric shower in it.
I appreciate the bathroom is not that big, I have drawn it to more or less scale here, each square represents 100mm x 100mm, so you can see the room is about 2400mm wide by about 2200mm deep. I also include some photos to give context.

I was wondering if we could put a curved screen on the bath,

and then have something like this feeding a shower above the bath.
Would this be possible? I have an abundance of hot water in the tank as I have solar panels.
Assuming this is possible, then I have the problem of what to do with the old shower. Leave it as a shower, or convert it to something else?
I am happy with the toilet and basin location and operation and so really don’t want to change them. The waste from the toilet comes out of the bottom and the infrastructure is built into a fitted kitchen below.
The tiling is good, but does not go behind the bath.
Does anyone have any ideas, how I can get a better shower, I don't really want to lose the bathThanks in Advance

That's not a bad space at all. If it were me I'd be putting a mains fed shower over a P shaped bath and removing the shower cubicle or having a large shower cubilcle with a sliding door and removing the bath. I'm not sure the space is large enough to have both.
Doing either of those will give you better flexibility with the space you have.1
