Summary: Learn how to fit bath front panels, fit battens and fit the bath front panel.
Bath panels are required to hide the pipes that lead from the taps to the water supply/drainage. The panels fit to the sides of the tub that are not up against the wall. Due to the fact that there is such a wide variety of bath shapes and sizes, it is never as easy as simply slotting a bath panel onto the tub. The task is not a particularly hard one, however. Taking the time to build a basic, sturdy frame around the sides of the tub onto which the panel can be attached will leave you with a strong, attractive looking bath.
Mark out the position of the frame using a spirit level.
Measure and fit battens to fit vertically between the rim of the bath and the floor battens.
