Jargon bust 4: Hinged screen overbath
If you not have the space for a separate shower and bath, a overbath set-up with glass screen is the next best thing.

Jargon bust # 5 :. Monobloc type
There is nothing wrong with two separate bathroom taps, but many prefer to be able to blend both the hot and cold water when you need something in between
and that's exactly what you can do with a single lever monobloc mixer where the water temperature and the flow is controlled by a lever and out of a spout (and with just a hole drilled in the basin).
The look is sleek and modern behind, but still looks the part in a vintage-style bathroom.
