Urgent solution needed for shower wall.

Hello everyone,

our bathroom is almost completely finished, but I have come across a problem that won’t let me rest.

We decided on a bathtub because of the children, but we also use it 90% of the time for showering. For this, we need a shower screen, but the solution raises questions. A glazier acquaintance said it would cost a lot of money to make a custom one, but the budget is limited. The issue with the dry construction can be seen in the pictures.



Does anyone perhaps have an idea for the implementation or a tip on how to achieve this situation in an aesthetically pleasing but affordable way?

Affordable: Rod and shower curtain. Luxury: glass element. Of course, the smartest thing would have been to use a shower for showering and to omit the bathtub ;)

Cheap:
Rod and shower curtain.

Luxury: glass element

The smartest thing would of course have been to use a shower for showering and leave out the bathtub ;)

Rod and shower curtain too creepy, that was an idea I quickly discarded.

The glass element, according to the glazier, very expensive.

The bathtub definitely has its justification, both children (2 and 4) use it almost daily, so everything else was not an option.

Regardless of the question how this could happen in the planning at all: If you don’t want a curtain and no glass, then really only plastic remains. That can be cut properly (have it cut) and is easier to work with.

Apart from the question of how this could even happen in the planning: If you don't want a curtain and no glass, then basically only plastic remains. That can be cut properly (by someone) and is easier to work with.

I once had thicker plexiglass on my list, can you recommend that or does it look rather cheap?

Well, what does inferior mean. After a few years it certainly won't look as clean as real glass - but I think it's the best option. I can't recommend anything there, you should ask a specialist retailer what would be best to use.
