Bathroom Fitting

Bath tub sliding door screen

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.06 PM

Hello, Hope everyone is doing well. I have a question and hoping to get some advise and suggestions. I have a bath tub with a length of 170 cm in my bathroom and currently have a bath screen of length 140cm x height 120cm. This comes with some issues mainly when taking shower water drips out/pours out on the floor because bath screen length isn't covering the whole bath tub. I wanted to find a shower screen with length of 170 cm so that I can use it for shower without water pouring out. I looked into the shops online but couldn't find any of such sizes. Please could you advise if such sizes can be purchased if so any pointers , I wanted to buy a sliding door model so that bath tub can also be used for shower? Any suggestions/advises please will be highly appreciated. PS - I wanted to avoid using a bath tub curtain. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all! Best Nani

Hi, Bath screens don't tend to come in those sizes...purely because they're not designed to go the entire length of the bath...they normally only go halfway, or two thirds max. Your shower screen is quote large as it is so that fact you're saying water is still appearing on your bathroom floor would tell me one of two things. 1. The screen isn't correctly sealed which is allowing water to pass through. 2. Your shower isn't positioned correctly and is to far forward which is allowing the water spray to travel further than the length of your screen. Alternatives. I would recommend something like this: I've fitted it for a customer before. https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/milan-hinged-bath-screen-with-joining-magnets

hi, Yes 1700mm (i.e. 170cm) sliding door bath screens do exist however they are on the more expensive side of things and you will probably have to use a specialist website to order it from (iirc the usual builders merchants such as wickes do not have them in a width greater than 1000mm). Your best bet is to google 1700mm sliding door bath screen but I am pretty sure both victorianplumbing.co.uk & bigbathroomshop.co.uk have such items.
