Bath Panels
Discover our collection of bath panels designed to complete your bathroom with style and practicality. Available in MDF and acrylic bath options, each one is made to handle daily moisture and give your bath a secure, long-lasting finish. Choose from several colours and finishes, with sizes from 1500mm to 1800mm and shapes to suit any bath configuration.
Bath panel types and shapes
Our shower bath panels cover the most common bath shapes used in the UK. Each option is designed to sit neatly beneath the bath rim and create a smooth finish that hides framework and pipework.
Front and end bath panels
These panels suit straight baths. The front panel covers the long exposed side of the bath. The matching end panel fits the short exposed side. Together, they give the bath a full surround and a tidy finish. Explore our full range of straight bath panels for more options.
Bath side panels
A bath side panel works when only one long side of the bath is visible. This fits many alcove layouts where two or three walls frame the bath, and only one panel is needed.
Corner bath panels
Corner bath panels are shaped to fit baths installed in the corner of a room. They follow the curve or angled front of the tub so the visible section is fully covered.
P-shaped bath panels
Designed to fit a p-shaped bath. These curved bath panels follow the shape of the tub and create a smooth line right across the base of the bath.
L-shaped bath panels
L-shaped baths use panels that follow a straight line rather than a curve, also featuring a wider shower end for added comfort. Explore our full collection of l-shaped bath panels to find the right fit for your bathtub.
Bath panel sizes
Choosing the correct bath panel size ensures a proper fit. We stock panels from 700mm through to 1800mm in length. Find all standard dimensions in between, including 1500mm bath panels, 1600mm bath panels, 1700mm bath panels, and 1800mm bath panels. Average bath panel heights typically measure 510mm or 560mm, designed to fit beneath the bath rim while covering the exposed area completely. P-shaped bath panel sets include both the long front section and the shorter return section, sold together to match your specific bath dimensions. Always check your bath measurements before purchasing your new bath panel.
How to replace a bath panel
How to remove a bath panel?
Removing an old panel is straightforward. Most bath panels are held in place by clips or a plastic strip system along the top edge. Start by gently pulling the bottom of the panel away from the bath, then lift upwards to release it from the securing mechanism. Some bath panels may have screws at the corners that need unscrewing first. Wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges. Once removed, inspect the area behind for any signs of water damage or mould that need addressing before fitting a new bath panel.
How to fit a bath panel?
Installing your new bath panel takes minutes. Position the panel against the bath frame. Make sure it sits flush with the floor. Slot the top edge under the bath rim or into the securing channel provided with your bath, then push the panel firmly into place until you hear the clips engage. For panels with adjustable feet, set these to the correct bath panel height before securing. Acrylic bath panels and MDF bath panels both use similar fixing methods. Some designs include adhesive strips for extra stability. Check the panel is level and secure before using your bath.
If you choose a tongue-and-groove bath panel, the boards lock together by guiding the tongue edge into the groove edge. This creates a tight join that stops movement and gives the panel a uniform finish once in place.

What materials are your bath panels made from?
We offer two main materials:
MDF bath panels: These panels feature a moisture-resistant core that can withstand steam and everyday bathroom humidity when properly fitted and sealed. The material gives a solid feel that suits all bath shapes.
Acrylic bath panels: These fullywater-resistant bath panels are lightweight and easy to handle during fitting. The smooth surface keeps its colour and finish over time, which makes it a practical choice for busy family bathrooms.
What colours and finishes are your bath panels available in?
Our colour range suits any bathroom scheme. White gloss bath panels remain the most popular choice, offering a clean, timeless appearance that matches most bathroom suites. More modern bath panel designs include grey and black bath panels, which create a striking contrast. Green bath panels provide a sophisticated alternative and add a splash of colour to your bathroom. Finishes include high gloss for a contemporary look and wood effect bath panels with natural timber grains for a more traditional aesthetic.
