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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
