Bath with shower - water going everywhere!!!

Help! We just bought a new property (exciting)
with a bath/shower combo. When I took a shower for the first time, the water flooded the floor and went everywhere.

More info - we have a shower screen that extends out to cover about a third of the side of the bath, and a detachable shower head which is quite difficult to angle. It's also a very strong jet stream at a diagonal angle, so it flies out at the opposite wall and bounces around everywhere Shock.

I'm looking to do future renos on the bathroom, and wondering if a waterfall type shower head that has a stream downward would mean the water flies out less?! I'd ideally not like a giant screen covering the entire bath all the time. My partner hates shower curtains with a burning rage! I'm a shower girl and partner prefers a bath, so doing one or the other won't work for us. It's also a small flat so only one bathroom!

Are foldable screens any good, I can imagine they leak a lot! Any other smart solutions for this sort of problem?

Thanks all Grin

@Polmuggle I did try and do this, it sort of twists away from where I put it, this doubled up with the water flying off my body creates the flood like conditions!

The bigger shower head sorted the issues for the most part, hurray and thank you!

You may find that the water pressure is too high coming into your property. Anything above 3 Bar can lead to application malfunction, e.g. showers, boilers etc. We had to put a pressure regulator on the incoming connection.
