Hi,

trivial question but Google is being unhelpful.

Our newly installed bath is nice and level - which means that any
splashing from the power shower onto the edge of the bath is
distributed evenly between the tile side and the floor side.
Normal people would use a shower curtain or bath screen to stop the
water going on the floor :-)

Ho ho ha ha bloody ha.
Have I misunderstood? you have a power shower over a bath without shower
curtain or screen and you want to put a strip of plastic along the bath
edge
to encourage the water not to go on the floor?

Ah!
Thought you were just being unhelpful and sarcastic at a time of travail.

Yes, I have (see previous posts e.g. Message-ID:

with subject Shower screen grumble...) worked out that if you have a power
shower the water does not stay in the area of the bath by some form of
arcane magic.

I now have a shower curtain (having been caught out by the pictures of
shower screens suggesting that they were much taller than in actuality).

A shower curtain keeps flying water in the bath area, and protects the
exposed (floor) side of the bath. As would a shower screen.

However it does not protect the tiled head of the bath (where the shower
head is) nor the tiled side of the bath nor some of the tiled end of the
bath.

Water runs down the tiles, or settles directly on the rim of the bath in
these areas.

Because the bath is level, the water on the rim can flow in all directions,
including towards the floor side of the bath, where it runs round the ends
of the shower curtain and down the the bath panel onto the floor.

My 'next time' fix would be to slope the bath towards the tiled wall a
little so any water on the rim ran inwards, then drained into the bath.

Being reluctant to hack off the tiles and re-slope the bath now, I am
looking for a neat alternative to stop water on the rim of the bath running
off the edge onto the floor.

Cloths placed at strategic locations, as long as regularly squeezed, can do
this but they are unsightly and can be forgotten by those not initiated into
arcane showering rituals.

I was looking for something which could be used to produce a slight ridge
(couple of mm would do) along the exposed edge of the bath so that any water
would run into the bath instead of down the bath panel.

Preferably white rubber for softness and the inconspicuous look.

Another response has pointed me to a 3M product (which I haven't located
yet).

Cheers
