We're finally getting around to refurbishing our family bathroom, years after we moved in, but are struggling to get our heads around what to do about the big wooden sash window opposite our existing over-bath shower. The old shower screen only runs up the side of the bath so inevitably the window frame gets wet every time we shower & is getting damaged. It's only a small room, so we're limited with what we can do with changing the layout. And with young kids, we can't just ditch the bath for a standalone shower...


So...has anyone else dealt with a similar issue & can give some advice? The only options we could think of were to get some kind of protective screen fitted over the window (not sure what), fit an all round shower curtain, or partially brick it up & put a smaller, waterproofed window in higher up the wall. Bit stuck with which way to go. We don't want anything that's going to be a nightmare to clean or that will be impractical with the kids.


Have been scouring rightmove for a similar bathroom in ED with no luck!? Surely our house can't be the only one like this! This problem might be a bit too niche, but hoping some forum readers might have tackled similar & have some bright ideas..?

Get some double glazed sashes and make sure to tell the guys putting them in to use an external finish internally. If you imagine the outside of Windows, they get rained on constantly and are fine. Same for inside so long as the right mortar is used.

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
