Product Information

Bath panels come in all shapes, sizes and materials and can either be functional or more decorative - continuing the decor of the space or merging with your flooring. A bath panel is an easy way to give your bathroom a refresh. Adjust the height of the plinth if your panel has one. Some bath panels, typically wooden ones, come with a "plinth," which is a plank that screws in along the bottom of the panel. It overlaps the main panel so you can move it up and down to adjust the height. Lay the plinth on the floor and then place the edge of the panel on top so they're overlapping. Move the panel up and down on the plinth until the height reaches the measurement you took for your opening.

Take your tape measure and measure from the top rim of the bath down to the floor. This will tell you what height you need to fit your panel at. One common misconception when purchasing a bath panel for your bath is matching the brand of the bath panel with the brand of the bath. Of course, this isn’t the case, with Bathroom City supply a number of different sized bath panels to suit any installation. Then, you can secure your batten to the floor using your electric screwdriver and wood screws, ensuring not to screw the batten down too tight as the bottom lip of your panel will need to slide just under. Take extra care when you are doing this to ensure that the batten does not move out of place.

Now, use a silicone sealant and sealant gun along all of the joints. This will make the edges around your panel waterproof and prevent any water damage. Depending on the type and position of the bath in your bathroom, you may have as many as three panels - one for each side that is exposed. Aside from hiding the underside of the tub, a bath panel will also cover piping and prevent water getting underneath, which can lead to mould. To measure the height, run the tape measure from the top of the panel to the bottom of the plinth. Screw the panel into the plinth by placing screws every 1 foot (0.30 m) or so on both the top and bottom of the plinth.Ollie is a self-trained DIY expert who particularly enjoys kitchen and bathroom renovations.

Fitting a bath panel can be straightforward if you want to save the extra money from hiring a professional - especially if you are only installing a new panel. Our collection includes engineered wood, acrylic and motor coated foam panels. The best material for a bath panel will depend on a number of factors including your budget and preferred style. You will need to use wood adhesive on the inside of the panel where the panel and the batten meet. Then you can fit your panel into place. For attaching a single panel, such as the long front bath panel, you could place shallow battens to the bottom of the panel. That way, it keeps the panel upright against your bathroom flooring - such as tiles - while providing a seamless join between the panel and floor.When your panel - or panels - are ready, put them into position to see how it fits against the bath and wall. If you have made an “L”-shaped panel, it could be left free-standing if secure enough. However, there are options available for securing a panel in place.
