Hi,
We've a bit of a problem with a replacement curved bath panel. If anyone could help before we have to cough up money for another that would be great.
The old panel was very badly cracked and yellowed, and after a long time deliberating on whether a new one was worth it we bought it. Directly from Ideal Standard, should have been like for like.
Except that when it arrived, it was 1cm longer and slightly taller. I rang up, she said I had ordered the right one but that the dimensions had changed. All you need to do is cut it down to size, she said, make sure it's wet. So we duly did that, perhaps stupidly in retrospect, and now the length is fine.
Except I blindly believed her when she said it would still squeeze under the bath. It won't. We've lifted it up and most of it will fit under, except the left where we can't lift the bath any more with the screws because of the tiles and bath screen.
Help! Any ideas? That's at the curved end plus the top of the panel is curved so we can't take it off that.
It was quite expensive so I'm breaching myself for money down the drain but surely there's something we can do?
Thanks
