Hi @Tbutter95m,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's good to have you join us.

Can we please trouble you for a few photos of the bathroom so we can see what you are dealing with and if there's any way to install a shower curtain?

We would also obviously encourage you to have a good chat with the landlord. If water is damaging the bathroom then I'm sure they would be concerned and want to address the problem with a permanent solution.

Thanks,

Jason

I have spoken to them and because it’s public housing they have said to use a shower curtain.. which I have already and there isn’t a single one that I have used that works

Hi @Tbutter95

In a rental the owner may not appreciate the high quality goals of your shower screen.

Do following @Jason solution of a shower curtian coupled with an expanding and self gripping between two walls Extenda Rail will require no mounting damage to the rental and is portable to your new place when that happens. I like the crystal clear curtains as they very clear and a stiffer material as I hate the flimsy shower curtains that wrap around and cling to you if you brush against them.

Hello @Tbutter95

It's great that you've received excellent advice from @Jewelleryrescue.

I'm sorry but I'm currently unaware of a shower door system that can be installed without using screws. Perhaps if you show them a picture of what has been happening, they will reconsider your request? But should that not work out, I'm afraid I can only suggest the same thing and that is to use a self-supporting extension rail and a shower curtain.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
