Default WTD: small ceramic corner piece

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to describe this in words but I'll try.

I have a shower over my bath (above the taps) and a shower curtain that
runs along the long side of my bath.

I have a problem whereby water drips down the back wall, where my shower
is attached and behind the taps.

This is all sealed ok except, at the edge of the bath, water drips down
on to the floor/wall.

What I am looking for, and I'm pretty sure I've seen this in at least
one other person's house, is a small triangular (or quarter round) piece
that will fit flush with my bath and the back wall to prevent water
dripping off.

I am aware that you can buy glass (etc.) screens that will do the job.
But I want to stick to using a curtain for the time being and I think
that just a small piece of something will do the job.

I've searched all our local tile shops and large DIY chains to no avail.

Anyone have any idea where I may locate such a 'thing'.

Cheers, Dan.

You can seal a narrow piece of acrylic sheet on the wall and bath, just
enough to take you past the taps and stop the dripping, and still use the
curtain as your main screen.

This might help explain what I mean:
