I want a cheap plastic panel that's slightly longer than the side of
the bath.
Getting nowhere Googling. Prob'ly just me having a bad day.
Any ideas where I might buy?

Thanks
Tony

What about a sheet of ply, decorated with wall tiles or whatever
the floor covering is?

I made a panel by hanging IKEA decorative kitchen unit end panels
on hinges from a piece of 3x2 timber. You can hinge them up to
access the space under the bath (which is currently storage for
the spare unused floor tiles).

Hi Andrew.
That's actually what we had, tiled plywood, but i was lazy and fitted
it in such a way that I couldn't easily remove it. I recently had to
rip it off to solve a leak.
Using kitchen panels is a great idea. I'll have a look at what's
available.

I also waxed them well, particularly the edges and bottom.
I don't know how well they would stand water spillage otherwise.

I'm not sure whether kitchen panels would last very well in the wetter
environment of the bathroom. YMMV of course.

Mine is about 6 years old now. Also used IKEA kitchen cupboards
cut down to 20cm deep to mount a semi-recessed basin into.
They were a small fraction of the cost of fitted bathroom
units, and the quality of fitted bathroom units seemed to be
crap compared with fitted kitchen units.
