best wishes Chrissy.

You can start with say 2"x1" screw to the floor and same lenght above under the bath with upright support in between using L-shape brackets.

Hi Chrissy,
I had the same problem with the end of my bath 4 ins from wall, which meant building the frame to the length of the bath and having no end panel and a big gap which I did not relish.
I finished up making a frame from wall to wall, scrapping the supplied bath side panel and making two shorter panels from cabinet doors, so either side can be removed without any difficulty. A small frame was also made and supported on the walls and 1st frame, this frame was covered with plywood and held one row of tiles to overlap the edge of the bath by 10 mm.
You could fit your new bath panel but you would still need to finish off the last 4 ins, you could use tiles on plywood or MDF.
The frame only needs 2 horizontal pieces of 2 in by 1 in wood and 3 or 4 vertical pieces.
Hope this helps.
