Abstract: A splashguard for a bathtub comprises a substantially flat, substantially rectangular panel member (1), with a flange (2) extending at least laterally on both opposite sides thereof and on the bottom thereof. At least the outer edge portion of the flange is substantially perpendicular to the panel member. On its upper end the splashguard is movably suspended from an adjustable-length guide rail (20) which can be braced against opposing walls of the bathroom, whereby its height can be so selected that the lower flange of the splashguard is slidable on the upper surface (11) of the rim (12) of the bathtub. An extension (5), extends from the lower part of the splashguard below the upper surface of the rim of the bathtub and rests against the inner face (13) of the bathtub, and has at least one magnetic element (6) thereon which magnetically adheres to the inner face (13) of a bathtub made of sheet steel or the like.
