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!

The shell construction of the upper floor (UF) with the bathroom discussed here is scheduled to begin next week. Then you still have the option to move the toilet to the other side; in other words, "yesterday" with your general contractor or plumber.

After all, @Jochen104 has a good solution for you.

Sure, it shouldn’t come down to 500€, but the additional charges from the general contractor are really steep. May I ask which price range we are talking about?
Usually, the extra investment in the corner bathtub can be offset by savings on tiling work. You will save a few square meters of floor and wall tiles fairly quickly. It’s not a huge amount, but it can easily add up to a few hundred euros.
In the end, you have to live with the decision and use the bathroom every day.

Compromise for the corner tub: place a regular tub diagonally on a platform However, this usually means increased effort for the framing and tiling.

I have to say, I actually think Jochen’s idea is perfect. The shower gets a longer glass panel (1.40m (55 inches)), which helps keep water splashes under control – and if any do occur, only the bathtub is affected.
However, a corner bathtub like that already costs around 1,200 EUR online (with a similar water capacity as the 180x80 cm (71x31 inches) bathtub) and more. I don’t even want to think about how much the individual trades I mentioned earlier add on top of that. I can’t give you an exact figure, Jochen.
I just know that the sink we chose in the showroom, which was supposed to cost 600 EUR, now comes at 1,640 EUR. That’s totally disproportionate. I don’t even want to imagine what kind of outrageous price awaits us for the corner bathtub.
We’re already considering doing the bathroom ourselves (or having it installed externally) and sourcing the equipment independently. But that’s also not easy, as finding someone to do it is a challenge. The warranty situation is also tricky in that case.
