nice one Nick. what is the bath panel made off?

you've done a really nice job all round there. no wonder you've not been on here for a while :lol:

Just a walnut laminate effect from B&Q : clicky

Got kitchen, fitted bedroom and all the doors from B&Q.

Worst bit about the panel is that the height can't be altered. So first fix of bath has to be spot on with regard to final tiled floor height. Worked out okay though.

Just thought I'd add a footnote to this thread.

The bath panel that GRR enquired about started to delaminate around the edges after 10 months and I've been putting up with it, taking it out and ironing the edges back on and siliconing until finally I couldn't stand to look at it anymore.
This product from B&Q really isn't fit for purpose, I've seen a couple of other members on here have installed this product from looking at their albums but unless you can maintain a working bathroom/shower environment at 10% Relative Humidity or less they just get wrecked :lol:. I could buy a white plastic one from B&Q but they are expensive and I begrudge buying twice.

Saturday morning I ripped it out and burnt it in my back garden in an OCD induced rage!
After the immediate satisfaction bought about from the ceremonial burn I realised that 18 months had passed since I put the bathroom in and had no idea if the wall tiles were still available, thankfully Tile Giant still stock them and before the panel had burnt itself out I was back home with a box of tiles.

built a frame:

Was scratching my head and wondering if I could be bothered to do an access panel and how it might work (wasn't going to bother because if I was ever to have a problem with the taps the whole bath would have to come out) but with 3 girls in the house I was worried about drainage, I took the bath trap of to give it a clean out and there was a fair amount of hair but when I probed into the waste pipe you wouldn't believe the size of the clump of matted hair I pulled out! uke: got a strainer thingy for the plug hole now but will definitely need an access panel.

Had just enough cement board (mis match of Hardi and NMP off cuts in the van) to get it clad and decided to make the whole panel infront of the waste removable with mirror screws:
