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!
