Bath shower screen too high problem

[scamartist]

Currently in the process of having the loft converted and just as the bathroom was being finished we have run into a problem - Major schoolboy error.

We got a P shaped bath and in the baths current position the curved shower screen is too high by approximately 30mm (Lowest point in the dormer).
All the tiling has been done to the bath so moving the bath is not really an option unless absolutely necessary.
I also don't like the idea of a shower curtain.


The gap between the bath top and ceiling is 1370mm.

Does anybody know if there are any places that do custom P shaped bath screens so that I can get one that fits in the gap?

Could a professional glass cutter cut and polish your existing screen to fit?

 

[scamartist]

Unfortunately not.

Went down that avenue early on and was told that because the glass is tempered/strengthened its a no go.

Use a bath curtain.

Bit of a bodge but could you cut a slot into the tiles?

There is nothing that can be cut or altered to suit the screen which we have.
Even the glass without the hinged section is 10mm over.

From all the looking I have done it seems I have 3 options.

1. Another panel I have found which will fit by 20mm but has a slightly different curve so not a perfect fit
2. Get a piece of Perspex type material made to order if I can provide a technical drawing
3. Shower curtain

or option 4 get the bath that matches the panel from one and redo a bit of tilling, that would be my preferred option might be more costly and time consuming but won't be a bodge that annoys you for the next decade.

Rip it out and put a proper shower in there! lol

can we see picture?

Company doing the loft conversion is discussing with a shower company they work with to see if they can make something suit the gap.

If that doesn't pan out then it may well be that we will need to drop the bath and then do some additional tiling.
