What type of bath are they going against?

Most panels are held in place using a timber frame around the bath. You can
then screw or glue the panel to this. The panel can also be fitted to the
legs of an acrylic bath using plastic pipe clips fixed to the panel. These
are then pressed over the legs of the bath to hold panel in place.

It all depends on what the situation is in your bathroom.

Have a look at this document on Roper Rhodes web-site - fitting
instructions.

I used mirror screws through the panel into softwood battens (looks
neat). If you do this make sure you drill the bath panel first as
they can be quite hard!

When I was about to do mine I asked the fitter who did my shower room.
(I was doing the job I couldn't afford to pay him to do and the shower
room was more complex.) No hard and fast rules he said, but he usually
fixed a batten to the wall at each end of the bath and then held the
panel in place with silicon, followed by a bead of silicon around each
edge. If you ever need to remove the panel cut the silicon with a
knife.
When I can to do the job I measured up for the plinth and screwed it
(four screws I think) to the panel from the rear. When I'd got that
right I offered it up to the bath before fitting any battens and was
so pleased with the fit that I went straight for the silicon along
both sides and top edge. It's been there a year now and I haven't
needed to touch it.
