Hi!
We would really appreciate some quick ideas, as we can only present a new proposal later this week.
Unfortunately, we only noticed quite late that the developer planned a relatively short glass partition for the open shower (about 85cm (33 inches)). Now we’re a bit worried about frequent water splashes throughout half of the bathroom.
The bathroom is only 10 m² (108 sq ft) in size, measuring 2.85 x 3.55 m (9.4 x 11.6 ft). As shown in the sketch, we have two windows, which don’t exactly make the planning easier. The bathtub will be 180 x 80 cm (71 x 31 inches) and the vanity with double sinks will be 120–140 cm (47–55 inches) wide.
I already looked it up and found references to these so-called “T-walls.” However, I can’t find any practical ideas on how they could be planned in this case.
Do you have any suggestions, or is the concern about the shower partition unnecessary?
Best regards & thanks for your help!

We originally preferred to stick with a steel enamel bathtub. What is the reason?
I would rather choose a well-functioning solution with an acrylic corner bathtub than force myself into a compromise with a straight steel bathtub.

We had a similar setup in our apartment (a bit smaller) and also used a glass panel. Of course, that requires significantly more cleaning effort than a tiled wall.
We got our corner bathtub (150x150 cm (59x59 inches), acrylic) for 600€. Since we were doing the bathroom ourselves (except for tiling), this wasn’t an issue. The problem is that plumbers usually have understandable difficulties working with materials supplied by the homeowner.
However, we really wanted a corner bathtub because we simply like the look. But sometimes the prices from suppliers are truly outrageous. It was hard to find anything under 1,000€, and stylish bathtubs could cost three to six times that amount.
