I am going to lay vinyl on top of the 6mm plywood yet to be installed

It’s MDF + PVC laminate bath panels .

Oh yes the panels need to be removable in case I ever get a bath leak (which has happened in the past). Thank you

I am having new bath panels fitted and also new 6mm plywood to the bathroom floor. My question is which is fitted first? Thank you in advance.

. Some members did give interesting advice like taking a sledgehammer to the pink bath ( mind I have been tempted) and even drastic advice like ripping out floorboards to replace with plywood ( all for the sake of laying vinyl). No thanks

Thank you. I have finally managed to shift it with meths and microfibre cloth plus plenty elbow grease. Thanks to all who gave their time and good advice. Much appreciated

Thank you. I will leave that as a last resort if nothing else works .

I did complain to him. He said it’s water based and will come off with a plastic scourer.

Btw I inherited it when the house was purchased 25 years ago. Pretty ghastly colour for a bath suite I admit, but it’s served me well. The new bathroom suites with their tiny toilets so low to the ground are like toys and I can’t afford a decent suite so I am stuck with it.

I do believe pink bathroom suites are coming back in fashion

Oh that’s a thought . It might dull the surface of the bath. It’s an old bath suite (pink) . I know, but it’s good size and quality and I don’t want to replace it.

I like the sound of that and thank you

I have wd40 and I might try a little area with that to see if it will soften it. As Quick dry paint is water based I thought it would be a breeze to remove but it’s a nightmare .

Thank you I will bear in mind

Thank you. I will use a little meth on the edge of the bath and see what I think.

Hi Can someone help please. I had a ‘cowboy’ painter paint my bathroom. He splattered paint all over, sink, bathroom, toilet. I have managed to remove the paint from the enamel sink with the aid of the good old white spirit; however iIt won’t budge from the plastic bath and will only scrape ...

Thank you for your replies. The floorboards are in quite a good condition and level with no big gaps between. Also I don’t want the bathroom floor to get higher than the landing which is carpeted. I am thinking 6 mm plywood.

Hi everyone. Hope you are well. I am thinking of having vinyl flooring installed in an old terrace house bathroom with bare floorboards. Before I can do that I need a subfloor of plywood fitted. My question is what thickness of plywood would be ideal? Many thanks for any advice.

Finally the window company sent a fitter around to seal the window. Thank you to all of you. It really helped sharing the dilemma with you.

I will and I am very grateful and thank you for your time.
