Get a corner pole and two shower curtains.
One lives permanently at the window end to stop the window getting wet and rotting.
The second pulls back like a normal one.
Then hook up a tap mounted shower with a couple of jubilee clips for reinforcement. You can shower perfectly well holding a handheld shower and then standing on it when you need to use two hands.
Imo everything else is a halfway house and you'd be better off just saving the money and putting it towards getting the bathroom done. Obvs depends on your time scale. That window latch on the right kills off any of my other bright ideas.

Alright. Go gentle on me. I've lived in flats for the last 30 years so all this proper DIY stuff is quite new to me.
I've got this bathroom which only has a bath. Ultimately I want to tear the whole thing out and start again but until I've got the cash for that, I want to install a shower as cheaply and easily as possible.
The easiest way would be to have a handheld shower on the wall, plastic mixer taps, and a straight curtain rail following the left side of the bath. Unfortunately I don't think I can do that because then the water would bounce off onto the window and sill.
So I think I need a curved curtain rail at the window side to protect the windowsill. And then I need a rainfall type shower to fall over the top of it, inside the curtain rail. If that's right, I think I ALSO need to replace the taps with a combined tap / shower mixer, and run a flexible hose up and over the curtain rail. Something like this (forgive the crap photoshop):
Does this sound about right? It feels like a lot of graft to get a basic shower without soaking the whole bathroom!
