Finding a Replacement P Shaped Bath Panel

[WSB]

Replaced my P-Shaped bath panel about ten years ago with one I bought from Screwfix which fitted perfectly.

Unfortunately, I need to replace this panel again.

I have the old Screwfix receipt which shows a Product Number of "85809" for a "Luxury Bath FrontPanel 1675mm" but can't seem to find that in Screwfix website these days. Doesn't recognise the product number.

Any ideas how I could go about finding a replacement?

Have tried Wickes and B&Q already.

Many thanks in advance.

Make one, from Eurocell plastic cladding.

My previous post.

Just sorted one for my nephew, used soffit pvc, its twin walled so ripped the rear every panel to reduce it to single thickness which bends easily.
Lay ply or board over top edge to mark shape of curve , cut this out and fix to floor inline to hold the base of panel and finish with pvc trim to form a skirting. water proof and easily cleaned.
White silicon to seal all gaps.Best of all just £10 for plastic.

Must say, that does look pretty decent. Only downside is if you need to remove it.

No problem to remove as it’s 6 individual panels , so you can remove just one or all.
I left spares under the bath just in case but need to access is very rare .

Sounds great. I thought they would have been stuck together with silicon sealant. How did you connect them and also connect to the top underside of the bath. How did you stop the bit at the floor moving?Thanks

It’s all in the linked post .
Basics here.

Lay ply or board over top edge to mark shape of curve , cut this out and fix to floor inline to hold the base of panel and finish with pvc trim to form a skirting. water proof and easily cleaned.

Top tucks under the bath just like original panel .
Panels are pinned or screwed to floor timber (ply) behind the final trim .
