Need to solve a problem.

Shower has been fitted on the wall at the foot end of the bath rather than the tap end so when used the shape of the bath causes water to run onto the floor instead of into the bath.

Shower screens will not fix it as it will just cause the water to run onto the floor further down.

Only thing I can think of is turning the bath around so the taps / bath contour are at the shower end and *should* solve it.

Any other ideas?

Not very cool but what about a shower curtain or rip out the bath and put a shower tray in' showers over baths are always a bit hit and miss

There is a shower curtain there at the mo but the water runs down the curtain / walls and runs around the edge of the bath (gap in curtain where it goes into the bath.

As for ripping the bath out - don't think lady of the house would be happy with that!

The only two showers that are fitted over baths that I know of are both at the non tap end.

A picture might help us uderstand the problem better :wink:

Probably the easiest way would be a drench shower out of the ceiling in the center of the bath.

Had exactly the same problem in my old house.
The bath had a lip/ridge at the non tap end which was meant to make it more comfortable to sit in. But when you're having a shower at that end, it's a PITA.

Had a guy come and turn the bath round. Half a days work, and we were re-tiling anyway, so no problems there. Job done.
