Bath panels

Ok, so I need to replace the rubbish flimsy panels that came with my bath when I had it fitted a couple of years ago.

Any suggestions or recommendations what to buy? Want something white and pretty solid. Bath is 1700 X 700.

I did wonder about making my own. Such is the poor quality of so many products these days.

I'm certainly leaning towards making my own at the moment. Looks pretty simple to do. Put some wooden framework under the bath, put some plywood on, then tiles.

Just thinking, I have pipes to contend with, including the toilet waste pipe, so tiles may be very awkward to cut. So I'm leaning towards some cladding.

Just about all bath panels I have looked at look poorly made cheap junk. Flimsy and wobbly. The ones I bought with the bath are laughably bad, especially after cutting the bits out for the pipes.

I'm pretty certain I'll be making my own. Easy enough to build a wooden frame under the bath and then fit whatever you like to it.

Reckon I will design it to be removable in case a plumber needs access.
