ᐅ Frustrating Bathroom Setup – Any Ideas for a Shower Screen on the Bathtub?

Hello!
I’m currently renovating a small bathroom. So far, it only has a bathtub, but I would like to add a shower option within the tub. Unfortunately, there are a few challenges...
The wall where the shower would ideally be installed has an access panel – and it doesn’t extend across the entire width of the bathtub.
Adding to the difficulty, the toilet is located directly opposite the bathtub. A permanently fixed wall right at the edge of the bathtub would be somewhat inconvenient.
Do you have any good suggestions other than a shower curtain?
Photos are attached.
Many thanks!

Do you have a hot tip that isn't a shower curtain?Showering while seated could be an option if you don’t want to use a curtain...S

Honestly, I don’t see any challenge here.
Yes, the side that is shorter than the bathtub might be unusual and potentially tricky, but apart from the access panel, it shouldn’t be a problem.
There are only three-part shower enclosures for one side, meaning a curved side. One part is then 30-40cm (12-16 inches) long, making the entire wall flexible and able to adapt to the edge of the bathtub when folded open.
There are also glass doors that, in addition to the meter-long panel, have an extra 20-30cm (8-12 inches) section, which could also work.
Then, as mentioned earlier, there are genuine two- or three-part options: with any of these, you can position each side flexibly where needed.
Oh my, and a quick online search reveals even more shower screens, ranging from 2 to 7 elements, all of which can be adjusted in position. Basically, there’s nothing that doesn’t exist.

Thanks for the input. What exactly are you looking for? I only found two- or at most three-part partitions, but nothing that could be customized individually.
Thanks, but that would only work at the bathroom entrance. I wanted to avoid that because visually, you would be facing a wall as soon as you enter, and the slope for lying down in the bathtub would also be there, which restricts standing.
