ᐅ Urgently seeking a solution for a shower screen.

Hello everyone,

Our bathroom is almost completely finished, but I’ve come across a problem that’s been bothering me.

We chose a bathtub because of the kids, but we actually use it for showering about 90% of the time. For this, we need a shower screen, but finding a solution raises some questions. A glazier friend mentioned that a custom-made solution would be very expensive, and our budget is limited. The issue with the drywall enclosure can be seen in the pictures.

Bathroom with bathtub and shower, gray tiles, hygiene accessories on shelf.


Does anyone have an idea for how to implement this or a tip on achieving an attractive look within a reasonable budget?

Could you take another look at acrylic glass? In my opinion, it looks more high-quality than plexiglass or polycarbonate. I think it should be possible to bond it using adhesive...

I gather that you have a limited budget. So do it right from the start and hire a professional glazier, otherwise, you’ll end up paying twice.
Even though I don’t think 1,000 EUR is a small amount of money at all… here it’s well invested.

If you try to handle plexiglass yourself, you’ll want glass anyway after a few years.

Buying cheap often means buying twice. Unfortunately, that’s how it is.

Plexiglass is acrylic glass. Plexiglass is just the brand name. If the budget is currently too tight for a glass solution, I would suggest using a shower curtain for the time being until there is enough budget for glass.
