How do I fit a side and end bath panel?

Question

Do you fix the panels together before fixing them to the bath? Is there any easy way of doing this as I have no idea where to start? All sensible answers appreciated!

This is just the usual acrylic bath with acrylic side and end panel. The other end and side are against a wall.

If you need to add a frame, how do you know where to put it?

Answer 1

GET SOMEONE IN.
clearly you have no idea!
It'll be cheaper in the long run.

Any builder, plumber, or half decent handyman, should be able to do this in 1 - 2 hours.

Answer 2

You need to make a frame under the bath and put on the side and end using either screws provided (preferably with covers like you'd see on a mirror fixed to a wall) or some form of adhesive . There shoud then be a corner piece you can fix in the same way. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

this is a very unusual question given that you dont say if it is a complete new set or a pre used one with bits missing, basically the set comes with grooved pieces of timber which are screwed to the floor and the frame (once cut to shape) clicks in, i noticed some folk have said use adhesives but dont.(what happens if you need to repair a blocked trap or leak??? )if you want further advice email me my advice is free

Answer 4

Try Velcro strips, you can get a type that has adhesive on one side. You can then remove the panels if you need to access underneath,

Answer 5

Most of the modern bath sides just click into place , give that a go.

Answer 6

A tube of Liquid Nails... That is, if you are fastening the panels to your bathroom wall.
