Over Bath Shower Screens Melbourne

Maximise your space without compromising on style.

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.

For hinged panels, correct alignment is important to ensure smooth operation and proper sealing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Over Bath Shower Screens

Here are some of the most common questions people ask about floor to ceiling shower screens.

Can a bath screen be installed on any bathtub?

Most bathtubs that are installed against a wall can accommodate an over-bath shower screen

Insert bathtubs and some freestanding designs are not always suitable, as they are generally not designed to be used as showers. In these cases, water can become trapped between the wall and the bathtub, leading to ongoing issues.

If you’re unsure, we can quickly assess your setup and recommend the most practical option.

What is the best type of over bath shower screen?

Fixed panels offer a simple, minimal solution, while hinged shower screens allow the panel to swing open, making it easier to access the bathtub for cleaning. Hinged options can also be more practical depending on the position of your mixer and tapware.

If you’re planning a bathroom with a shower over a bath, we can help you choose the right screen for your layout and usage.
