We have no choice but to put a shower over our current bath due to cost but we have a window smack bang in the middle which we can’t move. Any ideas would be great thanks

silicone extrusion products work well in this situation-I'm not sure what kinds you have (i'm in NZ) but your favourite building supplies or hardware shop will be able to help you. -

If the window is vinyl, there should be no problem. If it is wood, it has to be covered. We put a shower curtain over ours to protect the wood and it was fine. -

So you could put a shower curtain over it but shorten it to look more like a real curtain -

Take the window out and use glass blocks. -

Make sure the sill is angled ever so slightly toward the tub. Latex paint, silicone caulk are both waterproof if you apply a nice solid finish. Windows installed properly are already weatherproof, so you just need to protect the finish and prevent puddling. -

Your local home improvement store sells corianshelving silicone it to what is already there and keep it sloping toward the bathtub then silicone all around the corona top and bottom
