Stupidly, I've put my bath in the wrong way around. I've recently replaced an old bath suite with new. I replaced everything in it in the same way that the old suite was installed without checking first that there would a convenient (and aesthetic) way to include the shower from the mixer taps on the bath. The previous bath suite had no shower.
Basically, in this drawing, you can see that the end of the bath with the tap holes is not near a wall. There is a short surface behind the taps about 5 inches deep. Then the stench pipe, which is only about 11 inches wide and deep.
In most usual situations a shower mount is fixed centrally above the taps, but this lines up with the far back wall, near the edge of the window. Some people have suggested the mount be fixed to the side wall, but that would mean the shower hose trails over the bath space, and besides - it would look a bit odd.
Now we're wondering if we should accept defeat and turn the bath around as at the other end there is a plain wall that would be perfect for fixing the shower mount to. However, that's not a simple job given the suite is now 'established'.
So we're hoping someone is aware of a nice piece of kit that could save our bacon here and let us mount our shower head over the tap end of the bath somehow without it looking too odd?
(Have to go off-line until tomorrow so can't immediately respond to any questions unfortunately - thanks in advance for any advice)
