What Kind Of Shower Can Be Used With A Roll-top Bath?

I'm planning to have a new bathroom installed and have been hunting for a way to incorporate a roll-top bath with a shower over. I know that there are roll top baths which have two straight edges for corners but that doesn't do it for me. I also know that there are 'rainfall' showers which provide water vertically only and that isn't what we're looking for either as we'd like the water to come out at an angle so that you don't have to go right under. Any ideas?!

    Since you are not sure of what kind of shower you want. And You are not able to explain it also. It would be best if I help you out with possible options. Here is a link that would help you out in finding the right shower for your Roll top bath:

    THANK YOU for taking the time to reply! Ah yes, my question wasn't very clear, was it? Sorry. I'm not good at word limits!

    My house is Victorian and I'd like to put a roll-top (free-standing) bath into the bathroom. However we don't have room for a separate shower so the shower will have to be over the bath.

    I'm therefore looking for a shower that can be mounted over a free-standing bath without creating a flood every time someone has a shower!

    I am aware that there are baths which look like roll-tops but are designed to fit along the wall on two sides (e.g. http://www.albionbathco.com/tridentmain.htm) but I'd rather not have the bath against the wall.

    I have also found that there are showers designed to go over free-standing baths but only ones which provide the water from above (I'd heard this called a rainfall shower but maybe that's the wrong term). Here's a picture of one to clarify: http://www.albionbathco.com/effusiodir.htm With this angle of shower there's no option but to get soaked from above, we're looking for something more like what I would call a standard shower on a slider that we could somehow position over the free-standing bath and would provide water from just above head height at one side of the user. On the webpage you provided these can be seen at: http://www.bathroomheaven.com/sp_brochure/flexible_hose_kits So far, all of the showers of this type that I've seen are on a slider which has to be fastened to the wall. I _think_ this would mean that they would be too far from the edge of the bath to avoid getting the floor wet.

    So - I'm looking for a way to combine a shower with a free-standing, roll-top bath. The solution needs to be practical as we'll be using the shower every day. A hand-held shower which can't be fastened just above head-height is also therefore not an option. I am fairly sure that what I'm looking for doesn't exist but I can't tell you how delighted I'll be if someone tells me I'm wrong! Thanks again for your time.
