Hi,

trivial question but Google is being unhelpful.

Our newly installed bath is nice and level - which means that any
splashing from the power shower onto the edge of the bath is
distributed evenly between the tile side and the floor side.
Normal people would use a shower curtain or bath screen to stop the
water going on the floor :-)

Ho ho ha ha bloody ha.
Have I misunderstood? you have a power shower over a bath without
shower curtain or screen and you want to put a strip of plastic
along the bath edge to encourage the water not to go on the floor?

Ah!
Thought you were just being unhelpful and sarcastic at a time of
travail.

Yes, I have (see previous posts e.g. Message-ID:

with subject Shower screen grumble...) worked out that if you have a
power shower the water does not stay in the area of the bath by some
form of arcane magic.

I now have a shower curtain (having been caught out by the pictures of
shower screens suggesting that they were much taller than in
actuality).
I hate shower screens after fitting an expensive on in my on-suite.

A shower curtain keeps flying water in the bath area, and protects the
exposed (floor) side of the bath. As would a shower screen.

However it does not protect the tiled head of the bath (where the
shower head is) nor the tiled side of the bath nor some of the tiled
end of the bath.

Water runs down the tiles, or settles directly on the rim of the bath
in these areas.

Because the bath is level, the water on the rim can flow in all
directions, including towards the floor side of the bath, where it
runs round the ends of the shower curtain and down the the bath panel
onto the floor.

My 'next time' fix would be to slope the bath towards the tiled wall a
little so any water on the rim ran inwards, then drained into the
bath.

Being reluctant to hack off the tiles and re-slope the bath now, I am
looking for a neat alternative to stop water on the rim of the bath
running off the edge onto the floor.

Cloths placed at strategic locations, as long as regularly squeezed,
can do this but they are unsightly and can be forgotten by those not
initiated into arcane showering rituals.
I guess your bath must have a very rounded top edge.
The new steel baths I fitted have quite a flat edge, they don't flex either.
