We are currently getting our bathroom installed (from a major high street retailer) and we are happy, for the most part, except for the bath panel.
The bath was put in tight to a wall on the left hand side and the resultant few inches gap between the bath and the wall on the right hand side was boxed in. Then the tiles were laid all round the bath and on to the boxed in area.
The problem is that because the bath sits tight against the rhs the plastic front panel extends beyond this to the right and so the tradesmen have simply cut it! They have said they do this all the time. But, what this means is that we are left with a cut and completely unfinished bit of panel on the rhs, with a big gap between where the panel bows out (it is a beveled panel) and where it meets the wall/tiles. There is no neat way (that I can see) of finishing it off and closing this gap that doesn't avoid huge amounts of silicone!
Surely, instead of boxing in the lhs, they should have placed the bath in a central position that accommodates the panel in its entirety (there is room for this)? Then the boxing in (if any) should have been done.
We still have workmen here today and tomorrow and would like it addressed while they are still on site, so any quick replies as to the way this should normally be done would be appreciated.
Stress headache....
