Bath panel fitting
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.02 PM
Hi I need a new bath panel for a P shape bath. The length of the bath is 1.68m long but I’m unsure of how to measure the rounded edge to make sure I get the right panel. Any help appreciated. Thanks
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

In my experience with P shaped baths, you always have to get the panel from the people who make the bath itself. I have never come across an aftermarket one that remotely fits mainly because the baths
themselves come out of a fibreglass mould, which is difficult to measure precisely. The manufacturers are able to take the bath from the mould and make a number of panels until one of them fits. They then copy that one and sell it with the bath.

the panel always comes with the bath. unless you know the make of the bath you will struggle to get one to fit right. however you can buy flexible bath panels for p shaped baths, ive attached a link for you.

Have to get one from same people who made the bath as curve is different . You can have one made but would be cheaper to get new bath . Have made them out of jacker board then tiled with a mosaic . But again not cheap

Unfortunately it is impossible to buy aftermarket p shape panel to match p shape bath unless you got extremaly lot of good luck. You need to buy new one from manufacturer of your bath and for your exact model as every p shape bath is different than another and unless it is exactly same model than yours, panels would not match between them. More expensive but working option is to prepere timber frame with bended plasterboards and tile it with mosaic tiles. As I said it will expensive but it wil work and look perfect.
