Over Bath Shower Screens
Over bath shower screens, also known as bath shower screens or bathtub glass panels, are a practical solution for bathrooms where a shower is installed over a bathtub.
As part of our frameless shower screens range, these designs use fixed or hinged glass panels to prevent water from splashing outside the bath while keeping the space open and easy to use.
They’re a popular choice in Melbourne homes where space is limited or where a combined bath and shower setup is required.

What Is an Over Bath Shower Screen?
An over bath shower screen is a glass panel installed along the edge of a bathtub to contain water when the shower is in use.
Unlike shower curtains, glass bath screens provide a cleaner, more modern look while being easier to maintain and more effective at keeping water inside the bath area.
They are typically available in:
- fixed panel designs
- fixed and swing combination screens
Types of Over Bath Shower Screens
Fixed Panel Bath Screens
A fixed panel is the simplest option, consisting of a single glass panel mounted to the wall. It provides basic splash protection while keeping the space open.
Fixed and Swing Screens
These combine a fixed panel with a hinged return panel, offering better water containment while maintaining flexibility and access.

Benefits of Over Bath Shower Screens
We offer a selection of premium glass types to suit your style, privacy needs, and budget.
Clear Glass
A timeless and practical option that enhances light and openness, making bathrooms feel larger and brighter.
Low-Iron (Starphire) Glass
For a superior, ultra-clear finish. Low-iron glass eliminates the green tint found in standard glass, allowing tiles and fittings to show their true colour.
Narrow Reeded (Fluted) Glass
A stylish choice that introduces texture and privacy while still allowing natural light to filter through – perfect for contemporary and designer bathrooms.
All glass is manufactured from high-quality safety glass in accordance with Australian Standards.

Every over bath shower screen is custom made to suit your layout, bath size and wall configuration.
We take into account:
- bath dimensions and positioning
- whether there is a lip on the bathtub
- preferred screen type (fixed or hinged)
- hardware finishes to match your tapware
This ensures a proper fit and a clean, consistent finish.

Over Bath Shower Screen Installation
Bath screens are typically measured after tiling to ensure accuracy.
Installation involves securely fixing the panel to the wall, with careful positioning to minimise water escape while maintaining usability.
For hinged panels, correct alignment is important to ensure smooth operation and proper sealing.
