Scenario: Very small bathroom, long edge of bath is beyond the window.
Any ideas on the possibility of fitting a shower screen? I realy do not
want to go down the shower curtain track!

Fold up screens are available in all sorts of sizes these days. They can
also be made easily with clear Perspex, or vinyl sheet as they call it now,
for not much more.

I've encountered this a couple of times before.
First time I slipped a sheet of acrylic between the front surface of the
wall tiles and behind the post ofr the screen as I was fitting the screen.

The wall tiles were white and a little silicone was applied to the tiles
to make a seal. The plastic as then trimmed with some white plastic
edging. It was OK.

Next time the over-lap was a smaller proportion of the window and the
tiles were patterned and I would have had to get the acrylic sheet in.
So a fixed put a peice of ply over the half 'hole' and tiled it. The end in
the middle of the window recess (just past where screen would go)
had a 2x2 post in it (supporting the ply) allowing me to partially tile
the end aswell. This was neater IMHO.
