How to Install Vanity Splash Pans

Splash pans, or splash guards, prevent water from running off the side of your tub or shower floor and damaging your walls or floor. The splash guard installs along the corners of your tub, shower or sink and blocks the water from running down along the wall. The guards are especially helpful to your home if you have small children who spend a lot of time splashing around in the bathtub. The installation process takes a few minutes and you can remove the splash guard at any time.

  Dry the area with a lint-free towel.

  Set the splash guard track up against the wall and the top of the tub or shower floor. Depending on the track, you may need to fold it to form a 90-degree angle or it may already be folded. Move it around until you have it in the desired location. The splash guard installs at a 90-degree angle against your wall and the surface. Make a mark on the wall where it will sit.
