I've been looking around for a shower curtain for my corner bath, but the only one I have found was £300.. Could somebody please recommend me a nice (but a bit cheaper) curtain which is shaped in such a way that I can use most of my corner bath area.
Thanks, Rune
How about a folding screen like:

If you did still want to go rail / curtain thing then Homebase do a flexable solution that can be joined to make several shapes. The gliders glide ok, the latest version comes with two (not one) drop poles to support the rail spaced around mid way (you might get away with one pole if doing an "L" shape as the end mounts are quite solid).
I fitted such to our corner bath some 15 years ago and the track system has seen out several sets of curtains! ;-) (my daughter fell over in the bath / shower and grabbed the curtain as she fell. She ripped all the eyelets out of both curtains but the track stayed in place ;-) )
The best news is they are under +AKM-40 (from memory) , B&Q do a similar one but I don't think it's a good.
All the best ..

Thank you for your feedback. I'll have a look at the screens you suggest.
I have found the one I think might be for me.
Cheers.b
Mount a piece of curtain tracking on the ceiling. Hang the curtain from this with say, brass chain. Very robust, adjustable, 20 year life! Regards Capitol
I've not tried this but I would have a go if I had to do it.
The £30 screwfix shower rail kit contains the pieces to make a number of different types of shower rail. (part no 15896).
Usually you cut the straight lengths to make up what is required.
The bends are not so tight that you could not cut them in their middles thus giving you the 45 degree parts you need to make up the quarter-of-an-octagon shape you will require. Indeed you will have two corner pieces to have a go with and you might only need to halve one of them. You will need to 'persuade' the alignment pegs to go into the round sections.
This kit includes one vertical support part.
HTH Let me know if it works.
Use some copper tube (15 or 22mm) and hire a pipe bender. Bend the tube to the same contour as the bath. Get it chromed and mount.
Hmm, you make it sound so easy Craig ;-)
A plumber fitted something similar (L shaped tube section) and it was falling off the wall a week later. I have found when you use a tube and rings it's difficult to support the tube (that would be fine in a straight line), unlike the 'track' type?
All the best ..
