Benefits of Bath Panels

There are many benefits to upgrading your current bath with a brand-new panel, some of which include:

Aesthetic Appeal

The right bath tub panel can greatly contribute to the overall appearance of your bathroom by creating a sleek and polished finish. And since bath panels are typically available in a range of colours, materials, and designs, finding the right option that complements your existing décor is relatively easy.

Protects Against Moisture

The primary purpose of bath panels is to act as a protective barrier and prevent water from seeping beneath the bath. This will not only minimise the risk of mould and mildew, but also water damage.

Easy Installation & Maintenance

Most bath panels are very easy to install, making it possible for homeowners to carry out the installation themselves. Aside from ease of installation, most bath panels are also very easy to remove, allowing for quick access beneath the bathtub in case any maintenance is required.

Types of Bath Panels Available

There are a number of different bath panels that you can choose from, some of which include:

Front Bath Panels

A front bath panel (also known as a bath side panel) is the main panel that covers the entire length of the bathtub. It’s by far the most visible part of the bath, and choosing the right panel will play a big role in the overall aesthetics of your bathroom space.

End Bath Panels

Unlike front bath panels, end bath panels are designed to fit the shorter sides of the bathtub with the goal of providing a neater and more cohesive look. These panels are particularly important in terms of aesthetics when both ends of the tub are exposed.

Wooden Bath Panels

Wooden bath panels are more of a unique choice. Thanks to their natural look, they can make your bathroom space feel a lot warmer and more inviting.

This type of bathtub panel is also available in different finishes, ranging from oak and walnut to white gloss, allowing you to perfectly match the look of your bathtub with other existing fittings, such as bathroom vanity units or shelving cabinets.


Things To Consider When Buying Bath Panels

When buying a panel for your bath, there are a couple of things to consider, including:

Dimensions & Sizes

Before you do anything else, the first thing you need to determine is the height and length of your bathtub. Having these measurements at hand will help you find a bath panel that not only suits your bathroom space aesthetically, but also fits your bath.

The good news is that bath panels come in a variety of sizes, but by far the most common is the 1700mm panel. This caters to over 90% of baths out there. With that said, most bath panels can be cut down to fit smaller-sized baths without damaging the finish or veneer. So, don’t worry if you’re unable to find one that perfectly fits the size of your bathtub.

Type Of Bath

The majority of bath panels are designed for straight single or double ended baths and that’s where the most diverse designs lie. If you’re looking for a replacement panel for your brand new 1700mm bath you will have no problem finding one as the choice is pretty extensive.

However, if you’ve recently purchased a P-shaped or L-shaped shower bath, unfortunately, you won’t have the same variety to choose from. This is because they are less common, and as a result of that, designs are considerably more limited. However, that doesn’t mean upgrading the look and feel of the room is impossible, far from it.

It should also be noted that if your bath has whirlpool jets, many panels will not be compatible due to the whirlpool feature. That said, there are a lot of dedicated whirlpool bath panels out there that will be suitable.

Features & Designs

At Plumbworld, we separate bath panels into three distinct categories to make browsing for your perfect upgrade even easier. They include standard, decorative, and storage panels. All three offer completely different features and are suitable for various bathroom requirements.

The standard bath panels provide a clean look and are most commonly found in plain white or a wooden finish. Decorative bath panels are exactly what they claim to be and they offer far more design options over a standard panel. These are ideal for people who are looking to draw a bit more attention and focus to the bath without going over the top.

This category includes panels with intricate designs, mirrors, frosted panels, strips, and combinations of each. It is, without doubt, the most popular option.

Some also offer a storage area behind the main panel by providing easy access through the use of a sliding or removable single panel. This makes this type of bath panel ideal for bathrooms where storage space is quite limited

How do I measure your bath so you buy a panel that fits?

Measure the full external length of the bath from the outer rim to the opposite outer rim, common lengths stocked are 1600mm, 1700mm and 1800mm, with many products listed at 1700mm. Next measure the panel height from the floor to the top edge of the bath; most panels fall into 480–499mm or 500–599mm height ranges. If you have an end section that's shorter or deeper, note its width too. Typical end panels are around 700–750mm so a 1700/700 pack often fits a standard bath and end.

Which material should you choose, MDF, acrylic, MFC or real wood?

MDF is the most common option here and gives a good balance of cost and finish, with many white gloss and coloured MDF panels available. Acrylic panels give a smoother, more water-resistant glossy surface, ideal for wet family bathrooms. MFC (melamine-faced chipboard) and LDF are more hard-wearing at the surface and suit higher-use areas, while oak or real wooden panels give an authentic, warm look but need careful moisture management. If you want low maintenance and a modern sheen, go acrylic; if you want variety and value, MDF is a reliable choice.

Do you need a side panel, an end panel or a side-and-end pack?

A side panel covers the long edge of the bath and an end panel covers the short end where plumbing often sits; a side-and-end pack gives you both in matching finishes. For a standard straight bath you'll typically buy a 1700mm side panel plus a c.700mm end panel, or simply choose a 1700/700 pack for a guaranteed match. If your bath is P-shaped, L-shaped or a shower bath, look specifically at the small number of P-shape and L-shape panels available rather than standard straight panels.

How do you pick a finish to match a modern or traditional bathroom?

For a contemporary look choose white or grey gloss panels and for a more striking contrast, consider a black gloss. For a traditional bathroom, tongue-and-groove profiles or Park Lane Winchester matt colours (green, blue or dark grey) and oak wood finishes create classic character. A Park Lane matt green side-and-end pack will complement a traditional brass mixer, while a white gloss MDF side panel suits chrome fittings and minimalist tiles.

Are there panels that give you extra storage or suit shower bath shapes?

Yes, storage bath panels are offered which hide the plumbing and provide accessible internal space for toiletries. Shower baths need L-shaped or shower-specific panels; you'll find L-shaped shower bath panels such as 1700/680mm packs and smaller L-shaped end pieces for boxed shower ends. P-shaped baths are less common but there are specific P-shape panels available, so match the panel type to the bath shape rather than forcing a straight panel.
