So what order do I do this in?

The new bathroom suite is installed, and I need to find someone to box in and tile the bath and walls. I want (if possible) the tiled in bath panel to be removeable in case the pipework underneath needs looking at for any reason. (I'm paranoid about leaks going unnoticed.)
However I've just realised that the floorboards need boarding over before I put any flooring down. Should I do this before I get the tiling done, as I'm thinking it'll make it harder to remove the bath panel if I leave the floor till last as the underlay will cover the bottom part of the panel.
And what should I be putting over the floorboards as an underlay before I get the lino fitted?
Thanks.

cheap and cheerful method is to use hardboard. very cheap and a nice smooth surface.
you might want to waterproof it a bit though? just in case.
maybe a coat of sealer or varnish.

Putting hardboard down for the lino as suggested . Use copper pins. Most people do not put enough pins in the hardboard . Some one will tell you spacing , guessing its at least every 6 inches , thats all over ....... a lot of nails!

Do the floor first, then cut the panel to fit. My bath panel is a large sheet of painted MDF. It has a small lip at the top that sits in under the edge of the bath. The panel just sits there under its own weight.I made a small piece of metal to slip underneath it when I want to remove it. It just pulls out the bottom edge and the thing is free in a matter of seconds. As I am normally the only one to use the bath I am careful not splash water all over it. It has been in use for 13 years without any problem.
