Bath Shower Screens

If you still have a shower curtain hanging over your bath, you already know its limitations — it clings, it billows, it goes mouldy at the bottom, and it makes even a nice bathroom look a little unloved. A bath shower screen fixes all of that in one straightforward swap. Clean glass, no drama, and a finish that makes the whole bathroom feel noticeably more considered. Browse the full range below or come and see the options in our Darlington showroom.

Finding the Right Bath Shower Screen

Bath shower screens come in a few different configurations and the right one depends almost entirely on how your bathroom is laid out and how you use the bath day to day.

Single Panel Screens

A single panel screen is fixed or hinged at one end of the bath — simple, clean, and the most popular choice for baths used primarily for showering. Hinged versions fold back flat against the wall when not in use, keeping the bath fully accessible for those occasions when a soak is on the agenda.

Folding Screens

A folding bath shower screen uses two hinged panels that concertina back when not needed — a particularly smart option for smaller bathrooms where a single hinged panel would protrude too far into the room when folded back.

Double Panel Screens

For larger baths or more powerful shower setups, a double panel screen provides greater water containment across more of the bath length — worth considering if water escape is a regular frustration with your current setup.

Glass options across the range include clear, smoked, and patterned finishes in polished chrome and matt black frame profiles.

Almost any bath can take a shower screen, but you need to match the screen shape to your bath shape. Straight-edged baths need a standard screen, while P-shaped, L-shaped, and B-shaped baths all require their own corresponding screen design — the curved section needs to follow the bath's contour exactly.
Most bath shower screens are between 700mm and 900mm wide and sit between 1,400mm and 1,500mm tall. Measure the length of the bath edge where the screen will be fixed, and choose a screen that is roughly 10–20mm shorter than that measurement to allow for a clean fit with sealant.
A fixed screen doesn't move — it's simply bolted to the wall and works well in smaller bathrooms. A hinged screen swings in and out, making it easier to get in and out of the bath. A folding (or bi-fold) screen collapses flat against the wall when not in use, which is ideal if you want to free up space around the bath.
Glass thickness on bath screens typically ranges from 4mm to 8mm. Thicker glass (6mm or 8mm) feels sturdier and more premium, while 4mm or 5mm screens are lighter and more affordable — both are toughened safety glass. If you have a powerful shower or regularly use the bath for bathing with children around, go for 6mm or thicker for added peace of mind.
Not necessarily. Bath shower screens don't involve any plumbing — they're fixed to the wall with a bracket and sealed with silicone, so a confident DIYer can usually fit one in a few hours. That said, if your walls are tiled or you're unsure about drilling in the right place, getting a professional in is always a safer option.
A well-fitted screen dramatically reduces splashing, but no screen is completely watertight by design — that's what your silicone sealant is for. Make sure the screen is sealed properly at the wall and bath edge, and always use the screen correctly (keeping it in position while showering) to get the best water protection.
Yes, frameless bath screens are available and give a very clean, minimal look without any metal frame around the glass edge. They work well in modern bathrooms. Bear in mind that frameless screens tend to cost more than framed options, and the glass is usually thicker (8mm or more) to compensate for the lack of a supporting frame.
The most common finish is chrome, which suits most bathroom styles and is easy to keep clean. You can also find screens with brushed nickel, matt black, brushed brass, and bronze frames — useful if you want to tie in with your taps or other bathroom hardware.

The easiest habit is to give the glass a quick wipe-down with a squeegee after every shower — this takes about 10 seconds and prevents limescale from building up. For a deeper clean, a diluted white vinegar solution or a bathroom glass cleaner works well. Avoid abrasive cloths or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the glass and damage any easy-clean coatings.
This is usually a silicone sealant issue. Over time, the seal between the screen and the bath edge can crack or peel away, creating a gap where water escapes. Remove the old sealant, clean the area thoroughly, and apply fresh bathroom-grade silicone sealant. If the frame itself is damaged or the screen no longer sits flush, it may be time to replace the screen altogether.
