Abstract
Bath tubs have been around for many hundreds of years, however the bath tub & shower combination not as long. The bath and shower combination has its conveniences, it gives the user a choice; the choice of just taking a tub bath, a shower or both. However, if the choice entails taking a shower, the results could means water on bathroom floor. Water on the floor presents a safety hazard that the elderly and very young find difficult to negotiate. Therefore there is a need to prevent water from exiting the bath tub and shower enclosure. What is new about this device or this tub & shower modification is its ability to keep bathroom floor dry, during the bathing process. It does this by redirecting the water back into the tub's own drainage system through a combination usage of shower curtains, water shields and a modified drainage system.
