Standing in a metal bath whilst using an electrical shower may be a little dangerous, it depends upon the bath being earthed, but if the bath is glazed and insulated from its base metal the earth path is reduced or removed. Just how conducting to earth is it? And plastic water pipes may insulate the bath even more. The bath may even electrically float.
Modern electric showers located within a shower cubicle or over a glass fibre (G.R.P.) bath tub pose little risk if the plastic cover is intact and R.C.D. protection is present. A shower tray may be porcelain or glass fibre, the pipes may be plastic, the cubicle walls may be glass, all non conducting and earth free. So the earth path is removed.
