Ah, I saw that one but the recent reviews were not good, all saying it was badly affected by the damp. I guess if I painted it with the gloss especially the cut edges, it should protect it more?

Buying this the OP will end up with the same problem of having to cut it to fit.

This was painted with some paint from IKEA I believe, another reno project from the past....... I seem to have a fetish for bathrooms.

We got this bath panel from Wickes

Very cheap and very thin, but it will do the job. We will have to cut it down but expect it to be OK.

We have had an MDF one but it cracked and swelled.

We have given up trying to get one to fit so figured we would just get a cheap one and customise it!

That is the one I have at the moment... If your bathroom's bigger than mine (ie, bigger than a shoebox) you should be ok when it's cut down - I know it's the leaning over the bath and pressing against the panel that's damanged ours.
