Does anyone know a supplier of plastic bath side panels in 1980's colours ?
My beige coloured panel (from 1980's) is split but B&Q/Homebase only now do
white or wood effect.

I don't want to have to replace the whole bathroom suite because all the
shops only sell white ones now.

Near Watford would be ideal but I guess I'm getting desperate so anywhere
would be welcome

Thanks

Mitch

Have you considered making a panel out of ply and painting it? Or even
buying a wood (effect) one. It would surprise me if you could match the
beige anyway (either by buying a new panel or painting.

When I replaced my plastic toilet tank around 5 years ago the only
readily available colour was white. A couple of cans of car spray paint
later and I couldn't see any difference between the original and the
replacement. The finish has lasted without problems probably because the
cellulose paint solvent 'bonded' into the plastic finish on the tank - I
started off with a very light coat of paint.

Why not make new panels?? I used 100mm x 11mm T&G and incorporated
doors to use the space under the bath ends for storage.
