A separate shower cubicle is always going to be the best solution in my book but this usually means that you will have to move things around and at the very least install some additional plumbing. Even if you have a large bathroom there is a good chance that the original installers spread out the bathtub, toilet and washbasin so that it didn't look like it was all crowded into a corner. A good idea at the time maybe but not so clever if you want to add a bathroom shower installation later.

So why not put a compact shower over your existing bathtub. You won't need any extra space, you don't need to move anything around and you won't need much plumbing work done.

Replacing the faucets on your bathtub with a set that includes a built in showerhead attachment can be the easiest and cheapest way to add a shower to your small bathroom. Having looked around a bathroom showroom earlier today I see that there are many attractive designs to suit all tastes so you might want to go and take a look yourself.

If you are going to stand in your bath and spray water around then you should first make sure that your wall surfaces are properly waterproofed, usually with ceramic tiles, and that the bathtub is sealed to the wall with a silicon sealer to prevent water leaking over the side. Read this article about Setting Ceramic Tile before you start on your tiling.

When you have had the faucet unit fitted to your bathtub all you need to do to transform the combination faucet and showerhead into a proper compact bathroom shower is to fix a holder on the wall at the right height for the showerhead.

When you have properly sealed the ceramic tiles and fitted the faucets and showerhead the only thing left to do is fit a shower curtain or a solid shower screen and you have a brand new shower in your small bathroom.
