I put a bath in last week, and as it is in an alcove, had to cut down
the panel to fit. This has now left a rough edge at one end of the
panel.
An ideal solution would be a white trim strip, around 10mm wide, in a
'U' type section, that can be clipped over the rough edge.It needs to be
flexible, to bend when the poor quality panel is pushed.

Googling and searching the Screwfix book has not brought anything up -
has anyone seen such a trim piece, and if so, where?
Thanks
Alan.

May have seen something like that at B@Q or Wickes amongst their
collections of extruded plastics.

But if this cut edge is inside an alcove does it need this trim? Can you
not just sand it clean and smooth and leave as is?

I'll have a look there.
No, it cant be left as is, the end of the bath is in an alcove. but the
panel abuts the alcove edge, so although I thought it was a straight
cut, when placed against a flat wall, it looks a little rough, even
though the line only wavers by 1 or 2mm. An edging strip would make it
much neater.

Can you not cover it with a neat bead of silicone?

If you've got a car spares shop near you look there for plastic trims.
