TAILS’ BATH SCREEN GUIDE

Match the Screen to the Bath Before Choosing the Style

A bath screen must work with the bath rim, showering end and available wall space before its outline or frame colour matters. Start with the bath model and shape, then check the width, height, handing, adjustment and movement against the manufacturer’s drawing. Once the fit is confirmed, compare the glass profile and finish without treating every over-bath panel as interchangeable.

Check the Fit Before Ordering a Bath Screen

Confirm bath compatibility, useful coverage and safe movement around the room

Start with the bath rim and profile

Identify whether the showering end is straight, angular or curved, and whether the selected screen is intended for a particular bath model. A shaped shower bath can require a dedicated profile. Compare the fitting drawing with the rim width, wall position and taps before deciding.

Measure the coverage, not just the glass

Record the available height and the distance the panel will extend along the bath. Consider where the shower head points, because extra width can improve splash protection but also affect access. Use the stated dimensions rather than estimating from a photograph.

Allow for hinges, fittings and the wall

Check which way the panel moves, whether it is reversible and how much wall-channel adjustment is provided. Make sure it will clear taps, furniture and sloping ceilings. The wall must suit the specified fixings and installed weight, so follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a competent installer where required.

Choose the Right Type of Bath Screen

Browse by panel shape, movement, compatible shower-bath profile or frame finish

Curved Bath Screens

A softened outer edge suits rooms where a rounded outline feels more natural. Check the actual profile and dimensions, as the curve can be decorative rather than a match for a shaped bath.

Fixed Bath Screens

A stationary panel avoids a swinging section and can suit a simple, uncluttered layout. Confirm that the fixed width provides suitable coverage while leaving comfortable access to the bath.

Compare fixed panels →

Hinged Bath Screens

A moving panel can make entry and cleaning easier where there is enough clearance. Compare the hinge range, opening direction and whether the screen folds inward, outward or both ways.

L-Shaped Shower Bath Screens

These are designed around the square showering end of a compatible L-shaped bath. Match the screen to the bath model, dimensions and handing instead of choosing on appearance alone.

P-Shaped Shower Bath Screens

The curved lower profile is made to follow the wider showering end of a compatible P-shaped bath. Verify the radius, bath model and left- or right-hand orientation before ordering.

Square Bath Screens

Straight edges create a crisp, angular outline for modern schemes. Check the full panel shape, width and hinge arrangement rather than relying on the category name alone.

Bath Screens by Finish

Use the finish index after compatibility and dimensions are settled. It groups the available frame colours and metallic tones, helping coordinate a suitable screen with taps, shower fittings and other visible hardware.

Bath Screens FAQs

Compatibility, handing, glass, seals, installation and everyday care

Are bath screens universal?

No. Even when a product suits several straight baths, rim width, wall channel, dimensions and nearby fittings still need checking. Shaped shower-bath models can require a dedicated screen, so compare the compatibility information and technical drawings for both items.

Can a screen be fitted on either end of the bath?

Only if the product is reversible or its instructions allow the required orientation. Some screens and shaped baths have a fixed handing. Confirm the shower end, hinge side and seal position before drilling or applying sealant.

What glass should I look for?

Check that the specification identifies suitable safety glass and states its thickness. Thickness alone does not confirm compatibility: panel size, hardware, testing information and installation all matter. Never plan to cut or drill the glass to make an unsuitable screen fit.

Are seals and wall fixings included?

Supplied parts vary. Check the component list for the lower seal, wall profile, bracing parts and fixings, and whether different fixings are needed for the wall construction. Replace worn seals with the correct compatible part.

Will wall adjustment correct an uneven wall?

A stated adjustment range can accommodate limited variation, but not every out-of-plumb or unsuitable wall. Measure at several heights, compare the allowed range and ask the installer to assess the fixing surface before purchase.

How do I reduce leaks and limescale?

Direct the shower spray into the bath, maintain the seals and apply sealant only where the instructions state. After use, remove water with a soft squeegee and clean the glass and frame with suitable non-abrasive products.

DESIGNER’S NOTE

Let the panel echo the bath: a square outline reinforces angular fittings, while a softened edge balances a curved scheme. Choose the frame finish after identifying the correct screen, and remember that matching finish names can vary between manufacturers.
