How to cover existing heating vent in bathroom?

[SarahK1996]

Okay so we have recently bought and moved into our new house and we have noticed many weird things going on (so I am sure there will be many more posts!).

Two things so far in the main bathroom:

-There is a ducted heating vent in the bathroom, however, it is placed in the most odd spot. It is directly across from the open shower, in which when you shower, water goes straight into it! I have shut the vent louvres for now and place a bath mat over it when we shower, but what would be my best option to cover this for now, and what would be my options for long term? It is in the most annoying spot!

- The bath is not placed all the way to the wall where the shower is either, so water just goes everywhere in this side gap next to it and it is a pain to dry every time after etc. Any suggestions on what to put here to make sure water doesn't sit in the gap and cause problems down the track?

Oh thankyou Alan! Appreciate that!

And yes that is a great option, definately long term I think that will be what we have to do! Thanks so much for your help@
