The best shower screens to keep water in the bath

What is there to say about shower screens?

Not a whole lot, except that if you don’t have one, you’ll know what a nightmare bathing can be.

Even if you’re more of a bath than a shower person, there’s no way you’re keeping that bathroom floor dry without a solid screen.

Sure, shower curtains have a decorative edge and can be swapped for another design whenever you fancy a change, but in keeping water where it should be (inside the tub with you), they’re about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

A sturdy glass screen with watertight edges is the only thing stopping your bathroom from turning into Spongebob Squarepants’ living room.

While most showers or bath-showers come ready fitted with a screen, they can lose their effectiveness over time. When that happens, it offers an opportunity to swap one in for a design you really like.

We’ve gathered the best shower screens below to help upgrade your bathroom and keep the floors from becoming waterlogged.
