Because I'm on a very tight budget, I need a minamilist solution to my
desire for a shower "cubicle". I say "cubicle" because I only want a
shower curtain to keep in the water.

Now, I'm hoping my plan is doable, I mean only using a shower curtain to
hold in the water.

I aim to get a cheap shower tray something like this:

Fit that and then fit the curtain.

Is my plan workable? I mean, about just using a shower curtain.

The shower would replace the bath and be immediately to the right of the
bathroom door. It would be in a corner with both sides tiled.

I've only got 67cm width.

I'm trying to get a tray for say £50 or under. And as I say, I only want
to have a shower cutain on the two sides opposite the walls.

The tray would stand on regular floor boards and piping would have to go
under the boards.

Any recommendations gratefully received. :c) Thanks.

It would work in so far as it would be possible to stand on the
tray and spray water at yourself.

Looking at the tray, the big difference between that and having a
shower over the bath is that the height of the lip, which you are
depending upon to keep the shower curtain under control, is very
small indeed.

In such a confined space as you describe, it would be very easy
to accidentally push the shower curtain outwards, directing a
flood of water beyond the tray. How much do you treasure the
ceiling in the room below?

A mock-up of an enclosure the size of the tray you envisage would
be instructive. Can you (or other intended users) retrieve a
dropped flannel without displacing the curtain?

Irrespective of the screen arrangement, a shallow tray has little
capacity for coping with a partially blocked outlet.

It will be cr@p. Keep the bath and fit a shower over it.

If you are replacing the bath why do you only have 76cm available?

A fuller description of the problem might help.

My architect told me (too late) that the trend is to simply have a
depressed part of the floor with a drain in it - i.e. no shower tray.
OK if you have a vinyl floor or tiles.
