Hi, I want to tile over my bath panel, problem is it is a pvc, p-shaped panel. Im assuming that I cannot tile directly onto the PVC, so what would you suggest.I know I will have to use the flexible mosaic tiles, just dont know whether to fit something to the panel, or remove it and build a frame. Help appreciated...

you defo cannot tile onto your bath panel, a photo would be a good help, can you not make a panel then tile onto it ?
 
I have done this once

But the panel is plasterboard, I don't anticipate having to take it off very often and in 4 years have not had to do so.

Plywood was too flexible and the tiles kept flling off - probably because I used the wrong adhesive!

more than likely because the ply you were trying to use was to thin, hence it being too flexible for the job

Possibly - it was 12mm WBP, didn't want to go any thicker.
