Plastic-coated skirting board
 

Can anyone recommend a supplier (on-line or in Bedfordshire) for plastic
coated skirting board?
It's to go into a bathroom, where the existing painted MDF shirting has
blown from the damp atmosphere - so looking for a suitable alternative.

Thanks in advance.

I've used white PVC tongue-and-groove cladding as skirting (and coving)
before now.

If it's that damp I'd be looking at why. Unless it is direct water
spillage on it.

Small bathroom with a shower, no extraction fan (on the list!).
MDF has failed after ~5 years from where paint has been
scratched/chipped (3 small kids.... Grrr) and damp has caused it to
swell. Hence looking for harder-wearing alternative.
The window sill is also MDF, and in a bad way, planning to replace that
with composite worktop material or similar.

I'd use real wood for both - with a good paint job, it can always be
repaired. My sills are 120 years old and fine.

Found some laminated window cill cheap enough (ebay), so will fit that
in place of the MDF cill, should put up with the abuse better.
Think you're right, painted real wood skirting may be the way to go.

You can get bathroom grade MDF - pale green colour. It's resin
impregnated and pretty good stuff

For plastic skirting try:
